1968 Firebird Restoration maybe you took the front bumper apart and don’t recall how it goes back together there are several brackets and adjustments. We hope to get this reproduction bumper to fit well and not have left over parts.

Awesome video Pontiac engineers did not design the front bumper and grills to go on easy I would recommend to people who are not familiar with this to put together before paint for practice John is a pro this video is a perfect demonstration thank you John!

@VinylVillageGarage 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree a test fit prior isn’t a bad idea at all. Especially if it’s a reproduction bumper

@JL-rg7se Год назад

Looks much gooder with the front Bumper on!

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Yes it does!

@firstgenerationgarage2803 Год назад

Great video brother and you and absolutely right 68 grills are black that front end looks sick you are unbelievable with these birds

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

I love playing car and it just fun working with my hands

@davidbisnette7673 Год назад

Great video on one of Pontiacs big mystery’s of how to install and Adjust the 67 68 front bumper , thanks for the explanation

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

It can be done and hope this sheds some light on how to get it looking decent

@rohrt1 Год назад

I spent 4 long days working to get my bumper looking good. I later learned learned one of the fender gussets was bent. I also had to re-drill holes for the donuts to bring the bumper in closer. You Made it look too easy:)

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

It only looked easy because my boy helped and I got lucky this time.

@johnnywooten7199 Год назад

Looking good John Its going to be a very sharp car I had a 68 firebird once it was my first car your channel brings back the memories.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Fantastic reliving memories and glad to help get you there

@brian2359 Год назад

VVG, I’m going to use this to pull the front end apart to run my American Autowire kit where the factory did! I wasn’t sure how this all came apart, and now because of your video I’ll no problems or questions! Thank you!!

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Very welcome and this is why i do this is. To provide a little insight on the cars I love.

@leegreen2163 Год назад

My '68, Pontiac 350 non-A/C car has had a silver grill 400 bumper since at least 1976 when my dad bought it. I have always assumed my car had the wrong bumper, but I was unaware the '68 cars had black grills. Thanks for the information! Love the channel, good luck on you vynil top install!

I appreciate you showing the mistakes and corrections. There is a lot of pieces to the Firebird bumper, but man is it worth it when it’s done. Looks great and and excellent tips for putting it all together in the right order. Thanks for sharing.👍

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

I don’t always get it right the first time so keeping it real I suppose. Now 1969 bumper I have a lot more experience with. Like to think I would remember it the first tome.

@justindennis1186 Год назад

Looks great. Love those grills!

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Me too!

@browser90 Год назад

Thank you for the vid! The front end on mine had been taken apart prior to me owning it because of a collision with a dog. Luckily a replacement front end came with the car so I at least had an idea, but this should make it a whole heck of a lot easier.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

That is great you have all the parts. Good luck and glad To help.

@phoenixblack1220 6 месяцев назад

Thank again, Jon. My god there are so many parts to lining that bumper up. Makes me glad I’m a Camaro guy!! Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of my on my friends 67 FB 400. I’ll try using some of your tips to get it to line up and if worse comes to worse, I will send you some pics, maybe you can help troubleshoot.

@VinylVillageGarage 6 месяцев назад

Definitely if you hit a bump in the road on your way send me some pics and I will see what I can do to help.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

That’s great, do you have a Firebird?

@AllenWilhelm-d8q Год назад

Have a 73 Trans am. But in 1969 went for a ride in a 67, it changed my life. 67,68 might be my favorite. Thanks for the great content.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Well a 1973 trans am Is a great car as well. If I had more room I would love to have a white one with the blue bird on the hood.

@RonWatson-b6u Год назад

Your videos give me confidence to tackle my own project. I have 67 LeMans in process. Question, I have seen several videos of using Rustoleum semi-gloss black in a spray gun with an added hardener for firewall/engine bay. Would you recommend this? Thanks!

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Good deal. I had a 67 lemans really cool car they just look tough sitting still. I traded it for a 1969 Gto convertible that’s a fun story…. Anyway rustoleum with added hardener i haven’t tried it personally but my friend in Pennsylvania Luis has and I will say when I helped him Install his engine and transmission it was a very durable finish we bumped it a few times and it help Up well.

@dpin6072 Год назад

Project coming along great! Any chance will be seeing the Great Pumpking at the TransAm nationals this year in Dayton?

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

It was a goal but it is cutting it to close I think for this year. Still waiting on back order interior parts unfortunately

@dpin6072 Год назад

@@VinylVillageGarage Darn, you have put a ton of work into that bird. Sure you are tempeted to bring it to the show with the interior unfinished. If its not safe not worth it. It already looks fantastic can't wait to see it finished.

@patrickdougherty2597 7 месяцев назад

Were you able to shift the bumper towards the passenger side? Mine is the same way and I've been struggling with it. Thanks for the videos!

@VinylVillageGarage 7 месяцев назад

Yes it had Just enough adjustment to make it work. I don’t love the aftermarket bumper but it works and way less expensive then a rechrome

@7gear642 Год назад

@VinylVillageGarage 3 месяца назад

Repainted the original grilles. They where in good shape still

@srenmrkandersen4580 3 месяца назад

@@VinylVillageGarage looks great, just resprayed mine as well, struggled to get the silver lines good, so was curious on how you did it

@VinylVillageGarage 3 месяца назад

@srenmrkandersen4580 i should have done a video i suppose. The short answer was stripped paint, painted grilles silver then taped off the silver then painted the black

@davidmcmillan1477 Год назад

When doing restoration, how did you clean up all the fasteners and hardware for putting things together? The little bits and pieces that can't be sanded or sand blasted.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Small parts I used a media blasting cabinet with black beauty media. Now the small hardware that is visible and zinc, black oxide, or like cadmium plated I purchase a lot of it new as a kit from Ames performance. Relatively inexpensive.

@brian2359 Год назад

And those Philips screws for those triangle pieces are missing on mine as mine uses bolts and hit the side of the hood!

Happens a lot but now you know how to fix it

@brian2359 Год назад

@@VinylVillageGarage Sure do thanks to you!

@pontiacontap Год назад

Appreciate the video! How similar is this process to the 69's? Mine has always been off a bit from the body shop and it drives me nuts. Low on the driver's side and shifted to the passenger side a bit.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Sorta the same. The bumper bracket to subframe is identical. you can adjust the bumper assembly up and down in and out. Side to side is a little more tricky

@pontiacontap Год назад

@@VinylVillageGarage That somewhat confirms my understanding that the 69's have little to no left/right adjustment. I know my car was hit in the front end at some point in it's early life. Could account for some of the mis-alignment.

@robertbroyles4865 Год назад

This would be a good time to go with LED headlight bulbs.

@rohrt1 Год назад

The 68 grills were black?

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Yes 1968 grill surrounds are black and then 67 where silver. Most cars I think went silver

@GoGoGarage Год назад

Nice, leave it loose and work it in, too many parts compared to a camaro.

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

Interesting, I haven’t built a Camaro yet. Interesting the similarities and differences.

@pecktox Год назад

My two cents, don't do a vinyl top..! Pex

@VinylVillageGarage Год назад

I understand I have removed many tops. And repaired the rusty aftermath so I bet the why. This one is going back original with a white top and I am confident it won’t see the elements anymore and should last a long time.
