Yeah my poor Bird...

I meant my sub-frame connectors, the Passenger Side Front seems a bit off as it doesn’t align properly.

Hmmm, I’ve never experienced “Second Failure Mode” but “First Failure Mode” is unavoidable due to the aging of the headlight components. Does this mean the other black convertible top with a glass window you referenced a while back is available, or is that a different top ?

I’m quite pleased with the Yokohama AVID Ascend GT front tires from Post #76. Unfortunately the AVID Ascend GT is not available in a 275 width. Opted instead for the Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S.

Rear Tires $361.37

Attending RADWood SoCal 2019

I didn't attend last year for 2018 and I was bummed out

I'd like to:

Replace the Hood
Replace Sun Visors
Replace the Carpet and buy some Floor Mats.
Wash, Clay & Polish (SCHEDULED)
Replace Rear Brake Shoes & Drums


With the 2019 Holiday's around the corner it might be tough to budget since I'm probably looking at + $500

Didn’t make it out to RADWood SoCal 2019 in 91 Bird due to the rain forecast. The venue was muddy which was kind of bummer but I had a good time.

Re: 1991 Bird

I haven’t been driving 91 Bird these past few months due to the Winter season. It’s the first time since taking ownership back 2017 that 91 Bird hasn’t been my daily driver

I found a bottle of brake fluid under the kitchen sink and decided to perform a brake fluid exchange. I cleaned the brake fluid reservoir with some acetone & cotton ***** since it was completely covered in gunk. The brake fluid was brown and in dire need of replacement. I’m a little bummed that I somehow failed to service the brake fluid for so long

Bought this Firebird Emblem on eBay for $20.00 to spruce up my engine bay.


Firebird Sail Emblem

I haven’t got around to installing the carpet I purchased last year because when I pulled the old carpet I noticed some areas in the floorboards that need attention.

With Spring around the corner I hope to have more updates soon...

Upgraded the Panhard Bar,



UMI 2029-R
On-Car Adjustable Panhard Bar @ $129.99 + Tax ($12.35) = $142.34 - $50.00 (Summit Bucks) = $92.34

Zinc Nylon Lock Nuts @ $1.42
Stainless Washers @ $1.30

Yeah, I made a Throttle Body Spacer but never installed it due to the TV & Throttle Cables requiring adjustment.

Re: 1991 Bird

It was quite warm this past week and so my Heater Control Valve sprung a leak... Splurged on some Spark Plug Wires thanks to the CARES Act

Heater Control Valve $15.72
Spark Plug Wires & Wire Separators $79.16

No, old jute padding but the replacement carpet has jute padding. I’m hoping to be able to use the old & new padding together as that roll of reflective jute padding won’t be used...

Re: 1991 Bird

Some of the Spark Plug Wires are too long but ZZPERFORMANCE is attempting to remedy. In the meantime I figured why not upgrade some of the other ignition components...

Distributor Cap & Rotor $34.20

No, Mass Backing was not an available option. Have you done the carpet on your vehicles?

Re: 1991 Bird

Hmmm, the front brake low pad indicators became audible yesterday? I'd say that the Duralast Max Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (DGC154MSD) are trash (Reference Post #107 & #61).

Front Brake Pads $0.00 (AutoZone)
