Restoring 99' T/A- true fire.

This is my 99 T/A, it had been sitting in my back yard since 2002. My brother let it wrot because of a span crank bearing. I restored the engine to a upgraded 383 stroker. The car was crashed by the previous owner and they did a crappy job of fixing the rear quarter pane. I chipped off all the old pink bondo and redid it my way. I went ahead and sprayed the car with sikkens black and added a touch of true fire to the heat extractors. I still need to paint the hood and the front and rear bumper. I will continue to post some pics on the progress.

After i added the light weight filler.

Sanding and taping. Looks like hell.

base coated

Step one of many on the true fire

Another step i think its the third

Cleared

Will post new pics soon

You should have told me man i would have done it but you still had to drill holes and all that good stuff. You would have probably scratched it. Im still trying to finish up my car i just keep getting jobs for customers that have to come first. Without money nothing turns.

Here are the newest pics of the car done. I ended up going side exhaust with true duals, i'll see how that goes, so let me hear it. The pics suck my girlfried took them with her phone. I will take better ones later.
