Firebird / Trans Am: Discussions

I'm just reaching out to see if anyone knows where I can get a pair of quarter panels for my 79 TA. I wasn't looking for an after market pair but a pair of GM ones. I haven't seen any of these available other than the someone cutting them off a parted car.

If anyone knows where I can get a pair of these it woudl be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Derek

I've got a 96 WS-6 and have been beating my head on the wall with an overheating problem. Started when I took a ride down a Wildlife Preserve unpaved road. Have taken it in to several; encluding the dealer; and no one seems to be able to figure it out. Although more than glad to charge me a grand each time. I recently noticed that the idiot light "Low Coolant" now stays on constantly. Checked Coolant and it's at the proper level and have added the Super Cool to bring down the temp some. I've hooked up my reader and it has identified a problem with the Catalytic Converters. However, this seems to come and go. If I drive like a human, it signals a problem with them. Whereas, if I drive her hard, it seems to blow out the carbon deposits and I'm good until I back off the pedal for a period of time. I'm not hearing any bearing noise in the Water Pump, but I'm debatting dropping in a 160 Themostat. Nonetheless, I'm still concerned as to what's causing the overheating and why the "Low Coolant" light has come on. Any thoughts?

I really want more power and speed. My car looks amazing because i have done so many things to the outside like replace things and add things but i just want it to run like a V8 beacuase i have already made it sound good by addind some dual-exhaust 80-series flowmasters on it but it just doesnt run the way i want. can i put a v8 in it or get one built to put in it? or do i need to just go ahead and but a crappy v8 formula or t/a and fix it up?

Hello,Fire Bird Lovers !
I don't know a hole lot on Fire Bird frames,can a convertible frame handle & convert from a Strait 6 to a V8 400 to 455 -This is to also swamp tranny, and rear end gears & all other parts for a V8?."
Please NOTE, I look for rollers-junkers when I clone or mod ! ".
I want any 68 Fire Bird convertible to add to my collection." I prefer a 68' 400 HO -4 on the Floor ".
But if I find one that ran & was the right price I would keep it stock and fix it up,but I am looking for a good deal,"Memory's R worth more than money !"

When I say I hate Corvettes, I can't stress that enough. Corvettes have become a common car. If you go to a car show and there is a total of 100 cars there, 80 will be Corvettes, 15 will be Mustangs, and 5 will be "racing" Hondas. People who drive Corvettes have no style, no imagination, and most of all, no urge or reason to use 8 cylinders. The only thing a Corvette is good for is saying, "I have a lot of money and no imagination, plus I'm getting old, so I spent way too much on a common car." Anyways, I love Pontiacs - both W- and F-bodies - and have been a supporter and follower of Pontiac for as long as I can remember. Right now, I have a 2000 Trans Am Firehawk that I actually picked up on eBay, as well as a 2007 G6 GTP that just replaced my 1994 Grand Prix SE. I am in the market for a 1989-1990 (obviously) Turbo Grand Prix. If anyone has any information, please send me an e-mail. Thanks - and sorry for ripping on Corvettes if you own one... actually, I'm not sorry. If you own a Corvette, you should be in a mental home and off of this neighborhood.
