Default 1977 T/A photo request (other models too...)

New to the forum, but not new to cars. i own two trucks, one of which dad and i built ('57 chevy pickup) and dad has a '56 two door sedan chevy and grandpa has a '57 two door hard top chevy. Which we built.


So ive found a local 1979 trans am with the 6.6 liter and shaker hood with t-tops and the auto. How hard is it to change the front fasica? i want the 1977 "Smokey and the Bandit" car If i do build this car i will do a ground up build.

I'd like some pics and opinions. I plan on rebuilding the stock motor. (along with the WHOLE car) Im not planning on a lt1 or ls1 swap, however im open to opinions. Let me know fellas!

(oh and i tried the search button, didnt produce anything worth reading...)

You are in luck. The nose swap requires nothing special. Just get the 77 nose and slap it on. The hood and headlight wiring all will work.
