What's up gang! Spent another weekend tinkering on the Bird, so I have some new pics. I ordered some rear control arm relocation brackets and an adjustable panhard bar made by BMR Manufacturing through Speed Inc. Here is a pic of the relocation brackets
Forgot to take a pic of the Panhard bar before installation, but here are some of them along with the stock one from the factory.
And yes I did tighten the adjusting nuts after measuring the rear end :) Also greased the poly ends.
After installing this piece and seeing the stock control arms, I decided to go ahead and order some aftermarket control arms and also subframe connectors. No sense in putting in the brackets now, so I will wait and do it all at once when the arms and subframes come in. This gave me time to work on something else I had been wanting to do.
I went to town and bought some Goo Gone and went to work removing all the body side molding, Trans Am badges, Ram Air lettering, and the WS6 badge from the car. This was a little time consuming but a very easy job. All it took was, hair dryer, some fishing line, goo gone, hot soapy water, towells, and some gloves (for peeling the adhesive). Here are some pics of the final outcome. I like it. Makes the car sleeker and cleaner looking. Let me know what you think.
First two pics show the side view. The second two show from the front without the Ram Air on the hood. (does anyone need to be told it is a ram air hood??). Final shot is of the rear bumper without the WS.6 performance package badge.
Here is one more pic. I have gotten a few questions as to why I took the WS.6 badge off. It was looking rough and discolored, and it bothered me :) If I ever want to put one back on, I can buy a new one and replace it. But again, I like the new look.
