Trans Am Build

Recommended Posts

This was a dream for me as a teenager. I had a 71 full bumper 350. Wanted to drop a crate motor in it with maaaad beat. Thats the ultimate combo for me. Muscle and beat. You have done some great work here. Very, very nice.Btw, was that the yumyum in your hand while doing a little bodywork? Reaaally nice.:P

why, what ever do you mean? :)

yeah i'm just hoping i don't start popping all my bondo out with beats..

no i don't. used to, then got another job then got fired. now after school i go over to my dad's shop and work on little odds and ends. basically the shop bitch. but it does have its perks.. free materials for my car. i'm doing most of the work on the car by myself

haha yeah my dad has a gigantic garage. women aren't allowed in unless they're naked

doing this build makes me wish i didn't fuck around for four years on this car..

I'm in South Bend, but I've been all over the state.

Tell me they did not seriously fill that entire area with mud? Is that the bottom of the B-pillar?
