Car looks great! Does that 39 more door have a good center grille with the slots? If so, what does he want for the nose? I can't afford shipping...
How about a nose cone? got one of those as well.
:Ain,t Alberta awesome?????:
Hey Havi; I think the nova front is probably wider. than the firebird. My buddy has a nova clip in his 39 chev that was narrowed right down the...
Sorry folks, no progress as yet. The car had been banished to the yard for another project coming in. I am ready now to get back at her. Found...
I am not sure on the slotting of the sheet metal but if it is easier, I have a decent grille I will part with. just pm me.
I could really use the grille and fenders and hood hinges if you are willing to part with them.
I finished the frame graft using 1969 firebird front subframe. working on installing motor currently. Check back for more pictures soon.
Check out fellow H.A.M.B.'er skipstitch. He did a complete walk-through in building your own headliner without using bows. He truly is a genius...
No pics yet. I will post some as soon as my back is ok again.Sorry, toddc, the grille has not arrived yet.
Thanks to all who have given their insight and technical support. I have finished the install of my 1969 firebird clip and everything fits well....
Nice ASSets! Welcome from chilly Alberta, Canada!
Thanks for the suggestion chieftain55. That is the way I was leaning as well.
I just got a 1969 firebird front subframe. This should work, no? Either firebird or S10, I need to narrow the new front clip rails by 3". Which...
The front track is only ! inch narrower than the pontiac. Wheelbase on the S10 is 8 inches long but there is a perfect spot to shorten the frame...
Just bought a 1991 s10 for frame swap. Should I use the entire frame and suspension or just the front half?
I was talking with the guy I bought the car from and he said it is a deluxe 6. Chev engine.
y body is different than the chev. Definitely Canadian built Pontiac. 115 inch wheelbase.
I now have the option of using an s10 frame, and possibly a chevy frame from 1940. Which way to go?
Wow, Lots of info to consider. Will talk with Harrydude next week or go the s10 route. I will keep you posted. Thanks for all your input.
What do you have? Where in Alberta are you? Please pm me for more on this train of thought.
How did the car perform with this conversion? Is it worth the effort to find the 58 parts as called for or should I follow some other direction....
I did find a suspension upgrade on another site that uses 58 pontiac control arms, as they have ball joints rather than king pins. 65-70 chev drop...
Well, she has to be a true rod with just the right stance. Pontiac v8 with 700 r4 trans, custom built interior, you know the speel.
