Not a problem.
I know I've also posted the wrap around set up also
You may want to look at my "How do I save this " posts if you're looking to build a tail panel for your bird . My technique sucked but there are a lot of good pics of what it should look like !!!

Can a fiberglass front bumper for a Monza be used on the sunbird? Does anyone make a fiberglass bumper?

one of these days i might actually make it over to the wreckers and see if the sunbird is still there that i pulled the taillights and rear spoiler off the panel was good on it when i saw it last. problem with it is getting enough for the piece to make it worth my while and the cost of shipping a piece that large from nova scotia to somewhere U.S. or western canada. at this point i dont know what the guy would even want for it . how much is it worth to you guys to have a proper tail piece in good shape? heck id need 150.00 just for the tail lights and spoiler alone b4 shipping just to break even on them. just to go check on the panel is a 140 km trip one way for me,gas isnt cheap around here these days and the old f150 fd uses a fair bit of it!

Does anyone have an accurate weight on a SBC 2+2 H-body? I know the 80 Sunbird did not have one, but I am trying to find out about where I will be starting at.

Yikes! That more than I would have thought. Thanks for sharing that.

We hoping to get the weight way down. We have aluminum intake, heads, seat and water pump. No heater, back seat, 5 mph bumper stuff. Removed the door girders (20.5# each).

We're selling off the seats (red), headers and wheels. Trying to buy the rear filler panel and a manual steering Pitman arm.

I removed the wheel well moldings (only 3) . Are they reproduced?

I will be removing the rocker moldings. They seam to be pretty decent. Are they worth anything?
