Default 01 Trans AM BUILD....PAINT/AUDIO/CUSTOMIZE

This is my 2001 Trans am, Its been stored at my shop for about 2 years now. Last time i parked it, the lifters were out. Im going to be tricking it out a bit. Going for a street show car. nothing too over the top. I got tired of looking at it like that so I got to WORK!...

BUMP for some updates!

BTW - I really dig the hood! How was it done? Another sick idea with the hood would be to invert the idea and cut out the blocking that makes up the design of the Phoenix, then flush mount some plex from underneath and light it up and have the Bird glow your colors.
