I will remove the motor, and the subframe to replace the bushings, rebuild the motor, and more to restore my late brother's 1967 Pontiac Firebird first-gen F body car.

    It is great to watch someone tread where I am going with one exception. I'll be using fractional wrenches as opposed to Metric wrenches.

    The two missing brackets hold the iner wheel well on hope that helps.This video must be before John helped fix the sail pannels and roof can't wait to see the whole bird done🙂

      the best way to pull the fender is pull the wheel well still attached to the fender . he struggles with it for idk how long !

    That bracket on each side low near firewall is for the rubber water dirt shields that bolt there.

      MTZ, I am going to have to do some research, I have no clue about the rubber water dirt shields... so many parts missing! Thanks for the tip!!!!

      @@ArrowheadGarage its a little metal brack with rubber attached that fills a gap between inner fenderwell, firewall and frame to keep water from splashing into engine compartment. Not really super crucial IMO

    The 1967 firebird did have factory chrome bottom strips. Not sure if the ones you have original. As for Pontiac engines are concerned, the Pontiac 389, 400, 455 are same Pontiac small block. They just have been bored out by Pontiac get larger displacement.

      Thank you Ronald for the info on the chrome bottom strips! I like them and think I will get a new set for this ole Bird!

    You should be able to disconnect the wiring harness from the firewall.

    After doing this, do,you think it is possible to remove the inner fender well without removing the fender?

    • @ArrowheadGarage
      @ArrowheadGarage  Před 7 dny

      I think you can remove the inner fender liner, few bolts on fender then the few bolts on the fender brace.

    What are your thoughts on the Power plant. Sticking with the Chevy or going back to Pontiac.

      @ArrowheadGarage  Před 3 lety +1

      If I can find a 400 I would be happy… for now I am going to rebuild the 350 and if needed put it off in the corner for another project!!!!! Shhhhh

    Do you have to take off the front bumper and headlights to remove the fenders?

    • @ArrowheadGarage
      @ArrowheadGarage  Před 3 lety

      You might be able to, but it would be a job getting those front two fender bolts out.
