The pinstriping would have to go, but otherwise it doesn't look that bad. But like transamman25 said: "A brother with a check book"

I am putting the finishing touches this winter with the year one wheels and trying to get the old type steering wheel to fit. Thanks for those who like it. This car matches my old 77 which is why it was done.
I am glad you are getting the year one wheels. That is all you need to perfect the look of that car!

Sigh...my very first f-body was a Bandit Trans Am. Had it from '84 - '87 but I had to get rid of it as I was in the Navy and had no one to take car of it for me. Man, what memories I have in that car! Best looking T/A ever IMHO.

That looks really good! Now just drop some 18" Year One Gold Snowflakes on it and find a Sally Field look alike and your set!!
