Why would i replace the upper a arms? Dont know if they are correct, but they were on the car when i recieved it and the last time car was worked on was probably in the late 70's when they put that laquer paint on it. As far as i know, the car was sitting since early 80's. The chassis was in mint condition. There wasnt one reproduction part on the car, so i'm assuming it was redone early on. I believe it had nos fenders installed at that time cause they only had a rust spot the size of a quarter on them and the quarters were patched up with tin and rivits. All original interior in good shape but the top is supposed to be white. Any info for corrections would be appreciated as i'm not a firebird expert. BTW this was a drum brake car and we put a single piston caliper setup on it for the owner for drivability, this is going to be a driver car, not concours. Also, it did have the upper control arm shafts replaced with moogs and we put them back in with new bushings as they were fine. Remember, DRIVER. I know i usually do concours cars, but you gotta do what the customer wants.

This bird should be owned by someone willing to let her run, as she was intended, at a Pure Stock Drag event.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
