From June up through October, I’ve been working on the Trans Am off and on with a couple roller coaster problems. First, some pictures now she’s driving under her own power! Now lets re-hash the summer… Upper Radiator Hose and Radiator When I first got the motor in the car and I was taking the […]
I did not do much in April with the Trans Am. I did however send out my front and rear bumpers to a buddy to get painted, which leads us into May… Motor Is In! I picked up the Motor from DCI Motorsports at the beginning of the month. Don had it on the engine […]
If you haven’t followed this blog, for Project Trans Am I decided on the Pypes brand header back X exhaust system. One of the finishing touches is to add dual chrome exhaust tips. This dual tip look was used from 1967-1969 and from 1976-1981. It is one of the subtle but unique details for any […]
Project Trans Am has been on hold over the Winter while I work on the house. This March the weather broke enough to get back to it! Ram Air Manifolds! I purchased a set of exhaust Ram Air manifolds from Ram Air Restorations in February. I’ve had my eyes on these manifolds for a couple […]

This has been another productive month for Project Trans Am! Exhaust System Installed This was a major pain in the rear. I think the Pypes brand exhaust makes a quality product, but I have to admit that the amount of tweaking I had to do to make the system work in my car was beyond […]

May was not so productive, between family plans and work, not much got done. Never the less I did get a few things done. Interior and Wiring The remaining interior trim is now installed, including the t-top trim, pillar trip and such. I also installed the center console while I replaced the center console gauges […]
April was a very productive month! Thanks Bryan for coming down to help me install most of the interior!!! Dashboard Covered and Installed! In March I started working on the dashboard, my original plan was to cover it with a dash cap made by AccuForm. I got the dash cap last year, at the time […]
