Paint & Body Work - my 1980 pontiac trans am resto.

well guys we've had this car since 1980 brand new off the show room floor it belonged to my dad and he passed it onto me when i turned 13 and ive had it ever since it was my DD pretty much all threw high school....it has been parked at my house for about 5 years already ever since i bought my ws6 but now its time to give sum TLC again . our plans with this car is to paint it back to its original color which is JET black with the gold bird on the hood....seats are in almost perfect condition they are white leather but it is a bitch to keep em real clean so we may end up reholpuster them again maybe a 2 tone color or all black.....as for wheels we are going to be going with the 17x10 deep dish gold snowflake wheels out back and 17x8 up front.....as for the motor we will be droppin in a 6.0L lsx that will be done within the next couple of months by J&D MOTORSPORTS

A yellow bird on the hood is on the way I assume?

isn't that hood a 79-81 formula non turbo hood? why didn't you go back to the stocker shaker hood if you are going to put a bird on it?

looks slick. congrats

paint job is done will start putting everything back together tomorrow motor is almost done as well it was going to be a 6.0 but decided to drop in just an ls1 5.7 with a 60mm turbo, te ls2 wil go into my next project (87trans am)
