Default The Trans Am is ALIVE!!!

Hey guys just got my new Trans Am finished and cleaned up. its got the 408 and built t56 from my old z28 plus a full suspension work, roll cage, and a 12 bolt with 4.10s










I absolutely love it! This thing turned out greater than i could have imagined. It also runs and drives great, couldn't be happier!

Wow Jeff I'm amazed at how fast you were able to put this car together.

Its so nice to see someone take a project that you didn't have the resources to finish, and be able to finish it with such attention to detail!

Will be waiting for vids!

Ihab told me about that... Sorry to hear. In what way did they not fit? The brackets can be trimmed to make the seats sit lower, and you should be able to use the sliders and such to make them fit forward of the cage.

Brackets could also easily be fabbed up to fit them in, though you probably wouldnt be using a slider if you fabbed your own brackets.

Odd that they dont fit though, I have installed those exact same seats into a camaro with a harness bar that sits pretty far forward.

The door bar pushes them too far over to bolt down to the floor bracket. They also sit very high and it looks like even if i trimmed down the bracket it would still sit high. I just got frustrated with it and said **** it. i have some people that might want to buy them or maybe ill try again to make them fit. Although the stock seats out of my camaro fit great and are very comfortable i think.
