Crashed my Firebird this afternoon. Lost control on a tight curve.
Slick, rainy road, exit ramp to I-95 in the Bronx, drenched in oil and
fluids from the tens of thousands of cars that take this ramp every
day. Car spun out of control and front end slammed into a guardrail at
about 30 MPH. Fortunately, no injuries and no one else involved.
I knew that these wide Dunlop GT Qualifiers were not the most stable
platform for this motor. Now I will replace them -- but they're on
wide wheels, so I'm thinking I should replace the whole wheel setup,
match the rear with the front. But this is heavy $$$.
Is there a wide tire with good traction, that does not spin so freely?
What I need to get running again is a complete front end, including
left and right front fenders. Hood is OK. Need grill, chrome nose
piece, upper and lower bumper, left turn signal.
Also need a radiator, bracket, and fan.
I'll check Hemmings -- any other ideas? Would rather not buy new parts
if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance,
DOB
