Some photos of the urethane nose being worked on. Hopefully this will be home soon so I can finalize the fender adjustment, install the grills, and hook up all the lights.

Please go find another car to restore so you will continue to entertain me. This is better that Saturday television on Speed.

If someone wants to trade me a 1973 Super Duty I'd be happy to do Trans Am Restopalooza Part Deux.

Does anybody have any extras of these trim screws? They are the weird hex/philips screws that I believe are the correct ones used for attaching the flares. I need another 10 of them.

They were used on a ton of different GM applications. On the Firebirds they were also used to hold the rear window filler panel (the one between the window and the trunklid) in place.

Belay that order!

Turns out that those aren't the correct screws after all. The guys on the Pontiac website provided me with photos of what the original screws are...and they coincidentally look just like the regular, round indented, philips head wheelwell trim screws I randomly grabbed out of my toolbox and used on the car in place of what I thought were the right screws.

You gotta love when the haunted tool box knows more than you about what the right fastener is, for the job at hand.
