good job, but why a 76?

last year of the round headlights. i hate 78 and up because the noses are too square. i love the look of the '77 but i didn't want a smokey and the bandit clone or whatever people call then now. i call them redneck. i will not have a bird on my hood. i wanted a '73 but this is a 76xxx original mile car and it was the colors i wanted. plus the price was right. i'll get a pic of the interior because it is beautiful. still ahve a tear on the driver's seat and the headliner needed re-upholstered but everything else was scrubbed and is flawless.

google 'ban 1 trans am' and you'll see what i'm shooting for minus the gold trim and front clip. the only decent anything to come from that movie..besides the chase scenes

you sound like my dad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

i thought like that till i found out how much better almost everything is on the second gens: steering, brakes and the overall ride. everything except the body of course. sure you can get a full c5 corvette subframe with disc brakes and tubular control arms and rack and pinion steering but that's two grand i didn't want to spend

haha. in that case i'll get some pickys of my uncle's '70 442 and his '53 chevy truck for ya

thanks for the comments lol i'm just glad i didn't show you the shelby rampage sitting in the stall right next to it. you might die if you saw an 80s (eerm i use the term loosely) muscle car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

my dream car is a 69 yenko nova //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif

dedication! lol i can't do pet's names after any automotive anything anymore after my incredibly stupid but lovable mutt posi choked on her chain in the yard :/

me too plug, 69 rs/ss is my dream //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but ur definitely doing this build the right way.

thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but there are too many '69 camaros out there. do a '68 and be a badass! or be a real lame old guy like my dad and do a ss/rs '67 haha. i just like doing something a little different.. if i had unlimited funds i'd do an amc javelin. i like having the only one on the block you know? nobody does nice second gens here so that's what i pick

Sweet american muscle! Can wait to see the finished prioduct.

thanks dude i can't wait!

lol, i agree with that...my 69 elky doesnt have the best handling or brakes stock...but she'll boogy in a straight line //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

haha yeah my dad's is piss ass slow. it has 396 badges but it's only a 350 (shh). i've only been in a few hold on for dear life cars so far and this ta won't be one of them unfortunately :/ but here's some interior shots for ya. everything is so dusty

started

finished.. look down

here's why :/ melted the shop vac hose

maro was covered up so i couldn't get any pics of it. the gas line to the barn broke so we had no heat except for that little infrared lamp. i hate it. my fault though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
