Pontiac Firebird 1967-2002 - 69 Trans Am

I wanted to share pics of my trans am clone project so far- it's not done but it's getting close. I picked the car up here in the TX classifieds. Luckily after some fresh gas and a tune up she ran pretty good. Car came with a nasty sounding 455 and was pretty rust free. Plenty of dents but rust free. Here is the progression:

Nice ride, love the TA look on the 69's!

very sweet car, always liked 69 firebirds.

That looks awesome! I always loved that body style. How much did you originally pick it up for, if you don't mind me asking?

that bird turned out really well...

...love the colors.

Very nice car! and very good work!!

I picked it up for 2200 with the understanding it would crank and oil pressure would build up. Luckily it was a pretty easy fix on the motor so far. Lots of pieces were missing since it was someone's track toy at one time but it has come together nicely

Final product looks pretty damn good, ..., :thumb:

that looks awesome

I came.

Nice job!

Thanks everyone- if it ever quits raining in houston I am going to take it out today

Love '69 TA's...I would love to have one some day, clone or not.
