Default Project cars

Let's see pictures of your cars in progress or before and after pics!

Here is mine...an 81 Trans Am resto-mod...it's about 80% done, right now it's in sore need of a tune up, exhaust, then graphics and an airbrushed phoenix on the hood.

Even if it's not finished...bring 'em out! I need some encouragement to finish this car haha, I haven't even looked at it in months...plus it's fun to see how a car looked like before it was picture worthy.

EDIT: And before somebody brings it up (cause I know they will) yes there is too much fender gap on the front wheels, I am changing to bigger front tires soon and lowering it an inch.

nice '81! eventually me and my dad will restore my moms 78 Z28 that she bought brand new back in the day, long before i came along . i'm planning a similar color to yours, a nice deep purple, i've been considering the cosmos purple that was on the new gto's. overall the cars in good condition, but the whole interiors going to get redone, new paint/stripes, rims, rebuilt engine, etc...


I've just started a "just for the hell of it" project car, half camaro, half trans am: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...2-project.html

starting with a gutted camaro, i'm going to swap the front end with the t/a front. the doors will be blended to bring the whole car together. enterior/driveline/suspension will come out of my t/a. it'll be getting some enterior upgrades along the way, full targa top, new rims/paint, etc.

i've got a loooong road ahead of me, but it should be fun. here's how the car's sitting now...

Here is mine. A 97 Camaro v6 that I was DD and getting ready to swap a cammed 6.0 ironblock with 317 aluminum heads, a wet nitrous kit, 4L80e transmission, and I'm in the process of getting it forged pistons and sending it to get bored.
