4th gen Candy Red full restoration Trans Am

This should be a pretty quick build process. I just figured I'd share just a little bit of it along the way.
Quick brief summary
Perfect body gaps, rebuild motor, few performance mods, full exhaust, re-new complete interior, engine bay wire tuck, l.e.d. lighting exterior/interior, h.i.d. projector headlights, android stereo headunit with backup camera, and etc. of things.
This will be a candy red T/A. Hope y'all enjoy!

Wow i love that color

Nice! I really enjoyed following your last build.
I'm looking forward to how this turns out.

My god that is one bald tire, I was wondering why it had one slick on the front lol

the drivers side rocker panel looks a little lumpy ...lol.....that color does RAWK !

What are you using to paint the interior? I want to go black on my 99’ but I want it to look OEM. Not all shiny. And be able to clean it like normal.

Man, those upper shock mounts are so dirty, I thought they were painted white :eek2:

Looks like an awesome project. Can't wait to see it done!

I agree. Been wanting to build one for some time now with color like this.

Thank you! I'll be posting up probably more often. I already have plans on the next one.

This body here is one if the worst I have right now so that's why I choose to get her out the way first. The others will be easier and smoother builds for sure.

I use mixed up paint for interior from my paint supplier. Pick and choose colors.

Yea, they didn't take care of it. Won't be like that for long. I'll be getting the ball rolling very fast here soon.

Check out my youtube channel and subscribe so you can follow other videos that I will be sharing of all types of builds and car wrenching content. Thanks!

you decided to keep the LS1 intake instead of use a LS6 ?

While it hurts my heart to see any sort of what you could call a classic muscle car so under cared for by original owners, makes me feel all better when even the intake manifold now looks better than any part of the car did when brand new. I haven't yet sprayed candy paint on a car, but at my day job I have to do shading with satins & stain/clear mix on wood & fiberglass doors & trimwork, so I can appreciate your parts spraying technique.
