Yeah, Im interested in seeing some updated pictures. Also, do you have a list of part numbers needed. I know you need fenders, hood, headlights, front bumper, but i heard you also need some brackets and the insulation behind the bumper. This is probably the only thread for a Firebird conversion that i have found. So, post some part numbers and maybe we could get a sticky going if you do a write up of some sort. That would be awesome.

Nice work.

Mike

well i just finished up my ttop mod, now im going to work on getting the hood to fit right, after that i will be doing the paint, i should have it done in a week or 2, for the brackets you go here http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...=7&catalogid=2
and you need numbers 13, 15, 7, 8 and 17. For 17 and 8 if it will give you the option for right and left and you will need both of them, everything else you need you can get off your old body parts.

thought id post up some updated pics, ive got it about 98% lined up, its almost perfect, the front of the hood just needs to come down a little bit, and the headlight covers need to be tweeked slightly. i hope that next weekend ill get to shoot some paint on it.

Looking good. I wish they had gave us the option of having hardtop T/As instead of just those damn T-Tops. I really like the hard top WS6 look.
