Dan,
     I have a used radiator pulled from my 69 when I installed an
aluminum one.  It's in very good condition.  E-mail me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you're interested.

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
