Default FINALLY My 93 TA is about DONE!

This car was built with most of my spare parts from my 95 TA...And Is FOR SALE (But if you are looking for a smoking deal or cheap car don't even bother to ask, I've got a lot invested and I don't NEED to sell it). Since this is in the Appearance and Detailing section PM if any questions about sale. To see all that is done to the car see my Cardomain site on page 7.

You like those LT1 body styles don't you? I like your lime green one better but man do you do a lot of good work

I've always liked the green T/A. And now this orange/black one is growing on me.

I admire your creative ideas on your cars, and your projector headlights on the green trans am are badass! I plan on doing something similar to my ls1 camaro.

Congrats on a job well done on both cars.

I love both of your cars. Both unique and eye-catching. I don't dig, however, those rims!

Well you guys have pretty much sealed the deal on a decision I have been toying with the last couple days...
I have a 385ci LT4 built by SDPC with Lingenfelter ported LT4 heads & intake, callies magnum crank, don't remember which rods, forged pistons, about 10.5 to 1 CR. I have been considering putting that engine in the 93 with a Moser 9", upgraded fuel system, UMI torque arm, custom tuned chip, and long tube headers. That would all but ensure that I couldn't sell the 93 TA and get anywhere near what I have into it back. It would be a fun car with about 700 FWHP and built strong enough to play pretty hard, but the down side is that it would "SLAY" the Green Dragon. I probably wouldn't be able to afford an engine (that I want) for about 2 years. Selling this car is supposed to fund the engine for my 95. I thought most people would really like this car over my 95 just from the color choices, but I'm pleasantly surprised that most are saying they like my 95 better. I of course like the 95 MUCH more, but it's almost a "limes to oranges" comparison just on the amount of custom work to each.
Man I'm cleaver with the little puns tonight...

Did you paint this one yourself as well? Or am I just making that up that you painted the green one???

I think it looks awesome. I love the colors (your lime green 95 is badass too).
I also have a 95 and a paint job is going to be sometime in the future, your cars gave me some pretty good ideas LOL

I actually prefer this one. Love the orange/black combo. The only thing that would set it off IMO would be a black roof instead of the orange hardtop. The stance, wheels, everything is just perfect. What springs and shocks are you running and what are the specs on the wheels?

I like the '95 better myself but not by much. Both are incredible cars.

This 95 looks absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Personallly I like it 1000x's better than the Green one but mainly because I love the unmolested LT1 WS6 look best...

This car is the best two tone F-Body I have EVER seen hands down! Looks GREAT! I think a set (or single) black stripe for the hood or even painting the whole scoop black outlined in the same divider color you have would make it look more finished.

Also, a Charcoal (or same color as the divider stripe) CETA bumper mod would look good as well...

Regardless, you dare to be different and God bless you for it and your great looking cars !!!

I help with a lot of the body work, but my dad is the painter. He's been building and painting Hot Rods for about 30 years. We work together on the other parts of the car.

They are actually just stock shocks with Suspension Techniques lowering springs, if I was going to keep the car I was planning on running some Koni's and Strano Springs. The wheels are 19x10 and 20x10 Intro Pentia Billet wheels with falken 275/30R19 and 285/30R20 tires.

That 93 is clean and very well thought out. I like the scoops on the 1/4 panels too very subtle. You guys do some amazing paint work. I like both TA's but the 95 is a little too busy for me at least but the color scheme is bananas!

The only thing I dont like is how the whole front bumper and fenders are painted, I would have just done the top section like on the rest of the car and do the bottom section black below the body line on the front bumper. Car looks awesome none the less tho!
