Firebird fiberglass fenders?
Ok maybe im missing it but i looked at VFN and Glasstek for fiberglass fenders for my 75 Firebird. I didnt see them, am i over looking them??
|
Only thing I see even close is a 70-73 or 79-81 one piece front end. Checked US Body Source as well.

I can't find anything. I think Dwight may have carbon.

I have glass fenders on my bird... I hate to say where they came from... RRE.... they needed work as the mounting points were way off, not a big concern as I mounted them differently anyway..

First step would be to call VFN. They may have something that's not in catalog.
If that fails, try Suncoast Race Cars. They make some Gen 2 Firebird body stuff. Not sure if they have the specific stuff you're looking for. No experience with them so I can't speak to their quality. Eric |
I bought some used ones a few years ago that I found on the old Classical Pontiac board. They needed mounting work to fit well and a skim. They were lighter than the steel but not light weight glass. They had the bracing and mounted like factory. Couldn't find the brand though. Before I got these I found a place online called showcars fiberglass in Canada. Didn't here anything great about the place though.

Thanks for all the responses! Im still looking at my options but right now im leaning towards a 1 piece 70-73 front. Not my first choice but 75 front-end just don't have many options.

I had one of those 70-73 one piece front ends. It would have been better for a lift off. I never did get it to work right, so I sold it.

I had a chance to buy some 'glass ones I found on line ... a guy out near Niagara falls Ontario had them... I don't think I have his contact info any more.. but.. i'll look.
They looked ok... and sorry.. I have no idea who made them. I wound up passing them up as my steel ones were perfect.. I was thinking of going 'glass for the lighter weight. Show cars fiberglass , up in here in Ontario...uhm.... well.. let's just say... online info shows...better to look elsewhere. I do have a friend... who wanted some lightweight second gen body parts... so started his own carbon fibre company and is manufacturing carbon fiber fenders.. doors... roofs..trunk lids...and I think dash boards too. so.. if you want to spend some big coin... that might be an alternative for you. take care NB |

Ive thought about this but havent pulled the trigger yet. Front bumper and bumpersttes. The fenders that i got from R&R came from Fiberglass Trends and they might as well have been made for a chevelle. Fenders, hood and inner fenders all went into the scrap pile. One of those deals where its even hard to resell them, because i couldnt sell a part that i knew was junk. |
