Hey what's up to everyone. I own a 1982 custom wide body Firebird with a 383 Stroker in it. The car only has 36,213 mi. on it. I had originally bought the car 7-8 years ago from someone i worked with he was getting divorced and he wanted to sell all his **** before his wife got it. So i basically got it for a steal. Then i sold it to my brother like 2 years later and he killed the clutch and 4-speed munsey tranny in it. So i recently bought it back and it now needs some work to the body basically he crushed the nose but only the fiberglass has damage no frame damage(happened when he tried to park somewhere he went a little to close. Was wondering if any one knew where i could get a new nose like the one i have. Here are some pictures of it.

No go but thanks for the suggestion

 

Do you have a part number off the back of it?

 

Not at the moment it is still on the car. But i have never seen another nose like it.

 

its the 82-84 grill but you have ground effex on it. i had a grill just like it minus the ground effects but the mounts were torn apart when the original owner had tried to take it off. so i chucked it. i got a replacement which is similar
this one is whats on my car now. if you notice it doesn't have the bottom lip. good luck with the search

 

still doesn't look like the top of mine though or maaybe it just too dark to tell in that pic.

 

i might have another pic at home but im sure its the same one just you have gfx

 

I believe that nose came part of a "wide body kit". Cant remeber manuf. but will look through some of my old mags for it. You might be out of luck if company went under though.

 

Any competent body shop/fiberglasser can repair OR remold a new one

 

Hey let's see pics of the fenders!

 

i would like to see a pic of the rest of the car also

 

I love widebody fenders. Think Porsche 959 mmmmmm.......959.......

 

yea the 959 is an awesome car. i actually seen two of them before

 

:hail: Never seen one in person. How many are living in the US? Like 8-9?!?

 

The nose just looks like a regular stock 82-94 nose and Hawk's (look at banner above) sells the stock 82-84 nose. It seems the wide body tapers through on the front so it should fit. The gfx on it are the only thing that seems to be different, and those seem like they can be fixed by someone that knows a little about fiberglass and just attached to a new stock nose.

 

it is a stock clip it just had the ground fx on it is all, and i have a license plate on mine.

here are 2 pics a lil better. if i can ill see about taking another pic up close.

 

2nd

 

Stop by a good auto body shop and ask them to quote you a price to repair yours. A good friend of mine is an auto body tech and he has repaired things that only had a outline of the original part left to work with......

Glad ya signed up :-)

 

Yeah.. '82-'84 firebird nose with what appears to be '85-90 Camaro ground effect... interesting...

 

Both of those pieces are VERY repairable... see my plastic parts repair thread stickied to the top of this forum.
My thoughts exactly, not sure if I like it though, looks like it has promise...just lacks execution.

 

They're just different gfx, don't look like 85-90 gfx really. If you need a new nose they're not that expensive and if the gfx are fiberglass they should be easy to repair, don't seem like they're really damaged.

 

thanks for all the advice. here is a pic of the fender

 

and.....

 

and whats up penguin i finally decided to sign up to forum. how's life treating you?

 

looks like a motion kit to me. i like the way the widw body looks

 

lol
lets put it this way....i cant drive the bird to any of my friends houses that live very far away....so far my lucks been that about 80% of the time the car will make it there and wont come back home for a few days and usually a few hundred dollars, LOL
This is the 2nd time its been the radiator.....
before that i ALMSOST didnt make it home, and i was up in tyngsborough, LOL
(That convinced me that there was definatly something ****ed in the car, 650 dollars later it was fixed :-P)

 

Though the car is obviously far from.. the color and wheels reminded me of the Coyote from Hardcastle and McCormik for some reason... (I think it's past my medication & bed time...).
Probably that strong 80's look it has going on there...
minus the front spoiler.. it also looks like the widebody kit www.showcars-bodyparts.com sells.

 

Ok deadbird... now you're really showin' your age.
I hadn't even thought of that show in 20 years!!!!!!!!

 

you poor bastard i went through the same problems last year with my mustang then i finally said **** it and sold the beast. What kind of radiator did you replace it with? I have a griffin 4-core on my bird.

 

i just got the autozone aluminum replacement radiator.....125 bucks, has a lifetime warentee......it'll work for now
lol

 

Nice. The fenders look sweet

 

it sure is an eye catcher.
