Default LS1 powered 69 Transam

This is a car we have been building at work. Everything has been done in house, from fabrication to wiring. The car is on its wheels and running on all 8 cylinders. Not too much more work and it will be ready to go to interior, and off to the show circuit it goes.

I think this is the lowest 1st generation f-body vert built to date. Almost every panel on the car has been customized.

Is it bagged? IMO its great but just a little too low, any pics at other heights? It looks great slammed from every angle but the front. I would also get some black projector housing in there. Its freaking sweet though!

Is this really one of the 8 69 trans am verts? Or a clone using a firebird shell?

Looks good.

Thanks for all the comliments. None of us at work are really fond of verts, but thats what the customer wants. Its a firebird, but we dubbed it the "translam". How is it possible to be too low, thats how we build cars. Our motto is lower, louder, faster. I didn't know that was such a thing as too low. LOL

Wheels are 20s in the back and 18s up front. I think they are 325s or 335s in the back im not sure.

Here are some shitty pics of the motor from a while back. Nothing has really changed since then. This is completely wired except I think its missing the plug wires, which you cant really see anyways.

Ill try to snap some pics of the underside while its up on the lift. We are just doing some last minute things on it right now.

I forgot, I dont think it can go any lower without losing the convertable top. The inner fenders lay on the tires right now, so when its slammed it cannot be driven. Yes its on shockwave airbags front and rear.
