              two tone doors are very easy to do.. removed the panels and disassblembled the parts with a soldering iron melting the tabs on back off.
              cut the red vinyl to fit over cardbord centers and reattched with liquid nails at the tab locations. all the plastic parts snap off inside and sprayed them silver with krylon plastic coat spray paint.. it etches into the plastic and wont peel back off.

                  I am glad you registered and posted some better picks, mine didn't do your car justice.

                  Good luck with the rest of your project and keep us updated on the progress.

                    Thats awesome. I just got my Lemans in January, I've been enjoying the time spent with it so far. Very cool cars. :)

                      Re: Seen A Really Nice Firebird in Niagara Falls

                      today i was working on fixing the rear stabilizer bar.... its 5/8 diameter factory bar.
                      All I can find are the red bushing kits for aftermarket 3/4 and 1 inch dia bars..
                      Anyone know hwere to buy the bushing kits for the smaller factory bars?
                      I really wanted the red rubbers...not factory black..

                        Gtorat, that's a cool project in the works you got there. Once upon a red light, in my rear view mirror there was a silver WS6 roar behind me while in my SS and it does look and sound intimidating.

                        While my retinas burned on the bright red accents on your Firebird, what's lurking under the hood, anything of interest?

                        Nice Pontiac, that's a keeper.

                            only about 3.5 hours. theres nothing to do in Ohio so wife and I head up that way and hangout around the falls few times a year.. We like to take a fun car and ride the lake shores to find stuff to do. Been all along the north coast from Middle of Michigan to Rochester NY so far.. Plan to head around Lake Ontario to Toronto next..

                              Toronto's fun, especially if you've never been before...expensive as hell though. That's why when I have nothing to do I go the opposite way and head down to the States lol
