Game plan for the 80 is to pull all the trim off this spring, sand to bare metal and epoxy prime. I know I said that last year BUT I really want to get it to one color this year!!!

It's not my garage no, just where I have it parked during wintertime ;) The 73 Camaro belongs to a friend of mine :) He is busy with the wiring in the engine bay and installing a TH700R4 tranny and a "new" 383 stroker engine. We have 9 cars standing in there during winter time :) Two projects that's never moving again, among them a 70 Chevelle with a 454 (not number matching ) . And the rest are driveable and most in good condition :)

Geno it was most definitely a Franken-bird and I loved it. Started life as a midnight metallic blue Esprit with a black vinyl top when I was 17, and slowly I turned it into the car I really wanted. Full TA suspension with disc brake rearend, '79 hobnail interior, 400 with a Doug Nash 5-speed......this was back when factory parts were cheap and plentiful.....I think I paid something like $300 for a pair of NOS full rear quarters at a local dealer back then!

Even the original tires are not weather checked. Interior still smells new. During a Sept 2002 a magazine photo shoot, mileage was 11,367. I remember the mileage as I have a photo of the odometer taken at shoot. Today, mileage is 11,382. That is 15 miles in nearly 10 years.

Im sorry buddy. Still keep working on the car though. I hope your not giving up on it completely. It took me years of saving parts, saving money etc so I could build a car. Just keep buying what you can afford and look for deals on needed parts. your car may not be on the road for your 16th Bday, but it will eventually get there.

Post by: bhotz on February 03, 2012, 01:16:34 AM: Here's a ton of pictures of my 71 T/A clone. Some good videos too. I'm always adding stuff as I go. Bought the bird in July '10 - was a total granny car. Now its 98% done (need to add T/A gauges). It's definitely worth checking out. Oh yeah, my 71 455 Lemans is on the site too :) The T/A went head to head with the Lemans...you can read all about it - 350 vs 455. I know, the 455 should be in the T/A...

Looks AWESOME!!!! What size tires?

Year One's 17" x 9" Honeycomb rims along with a set of Nitto 555's, 285/40 for the rear and 255/45 for the front - I really like how they fill the wheel wells. Thanks for the compliment too!

A bunch of beautiful Birds in this post!!
Why a 40 on the rear and a 45 on the front. Isn't a 45 taller?
Title: Re: Lets See Everyone's T/A's
Post by: mikekop on February 05, 2012, 12:14:13 PM: I thought all car guys knew this but here goes:
The numbers 40 and 45 in above tire sizes are PERCENTAGE of the tire width, which makes the 285/40 114 mm high, and the 255/45 is 114,75 mm high, a tad higher but not noticeable.

So yes I was right, the front is taller, no need to be condescending, I guess what I don't understand is why not use the same size then on all four corners...

I'm sorry if I came off as condescending, must be a language thing, english is not my native language, it was not my intention.
Yes you were right, the 255-45 is higher than 285-40, by 0,0295 inches (0,75 mm), was it this you pointed out? To me, that is pretty darn close, it's the thickness of a nail, sheet metal or the graphite rod in a graphite pen, as I said, not noticeable. You will probably wear off more rubber in a couple of burnouts.

Sorry Joe, you got it wrong on the sidewall height, it's PERCENTAGE (%) of the tire width. 40 % of 285 mm is 114 mm.

Same numbers in inches: 11,22 inches wide and 4,48 inches sidewall height.

Ok, so so maintain the same heights and a narrower front tire, you have to go with the 45 in front and 40 in rear. Got ya.

Post by: Yukon Jack on February 07, 2012, 08:20:50 PM: To answer the question, I wanted as much tire out back but still have about the same height tire - in the Nitto 555's that is the closest set that got what I wanted.

As far as I have been able to determine, it still has the original paint job and decals that have faded over the years.
I'd like to have it painted, but hesitate to do so because of the original paint.
