Default 96 Trans Am Restoration

I graduated college a few weeks ago, and work has already began on the car. I am starting from the inside out, and plan to do a ls swap, with possibly a turbo. I am still undecided on that part.

Nice thread, very few clean Lt1 cars left any more, it'll be a [pretty special build when it's all said and done.

Thanks guy! A ram air hood will be going on it, but the body work will be the very last step. I don't want to risk scratching anything while installing the motor, or risk any overspray while painting the underside and engine compartment.

I am in the process of epoxying my dash pad back together right now. And then I will be wrapping it in vinyl.

Did some more work to it tonight, I updated the main link with some pics. The car will be getting moved to my dads shop in the next couple of weeks, and the whole car will ripped apart to fix some major damage I found.

Updated with more pics. I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of my fat mat rattletrap and then the installation of that will begin.
