Its not the fact anyone hates on formula's. Its the fact that the low rise wing builds a puddle of water after washing/rain at the base of the rear window thus it can destroy the seal for the back window + the low wing looks like crap imo. The Formula got the engine and interior bits but Trans Am got the body parts that look alot better than the Formula Body. Simply put, Formula's look like V6 Firebirds and who wants a sports car that looks like it has a 4 banger in it?

I dont hate on the formulas at all, and actually im looking for another one, but as i said before, im never selling this car, i dont care about retail value ect ect, even if i had kept the car a red formula, the car would still have the same custom interior,suspension, motor,brakes,rims,ect ect,im not leaving too much stock so either way it doesnt matter, and i personally think the lt1 ws6 trans ams are the meanest looking Fbody.

Besides the visors and shift boots,The entire car was built by myself and my dad, and of course we will be doing all motor,drivetrain,suspension assembly, I even did all my own powder coating

Nice job man it looks pretty sick. It's a great feeling knowing what you started with and what you've made it become.

Glad you guys like it as much as i do, everytime i drive it i get thumbs up and nods, and when im at a gas station and a car guy pulls in, forget it, im gonna try to get a good video and some rolling shots this weekend, the car runs really hard, but i cant wait to rip it apart for some procharged power this winter, i also have a bunch of interior things i want to do.

This is the car that started it all for me with 4th gens, me and my dad built this one in 2000 for my cousin, who sold it to brett, that car was a ton of fun, and i can only imagine how mine will be with some boost on her.

how much did you get it for and how much do you have invested in it not including your labor?
