i know your not dissing my paint, but its hard to make all happy i like it abd you dont, no harm done, besides Seen to many with the two tone third gens, so i guess i just wanted it to look like it did when it came off the assembly line except the wheels. and again i did say nothing was set in stone. Anywho thanks

good choice...

Fair enough. Nice find on the second one too, are you going to put the stock interior back in? I know its a resto but damn that stuff is ugly.

That Trans AM looks really nice!! Do you have any more newer pics. I like seeing what people are doing with their rides. That engine bay looks really clean. And that paint job looks nice. Once it is rolling, it looks like it will be really sharp looking.

I love the rims. What are you using for tires?

[Ngige]

front 285 35 19 rear 305 30 19 should be a nice patch or rubber.:3gears::

its an ok motor i have a scat crank, scat H beam rods and wisco pistons all forged, the block is a factory 4 bolt 350 out of a 1976 truck ( pretty decent block Brian from studervents (sp???) built it for me ) if and when this motor dies i plan on going with a dart little m and also go with afew more cubic inches, im thinking a 454 small block should do the trick.
