2000 Trans Am "Black Betty"
Back in Oct 13' I sold my Camaro z28 to buy a shortbed c10. After having the c10 for a couple of months, I got tired of not having a car to enjoy on my days off due to the fact of the c10 being a slow build. After scoring the interwebz I found a decent Trans am that just needs some good ole TLC for a pretty decent price.
I've never owned a trans am before, but I have owned several Ls vehicles, so I cant find stuff on the search tab Ill be asking people for help on certain things. I want to just do some little mods here and there to make her look decent and run better than stock.
Here are some pics.
She was pretty stock and had decent miles on her for her age, pretty decent carfax as well, considering its hard to find non-wrecked fbodies now a days. Non-Salvaged title car!
She needs more cosmetic TLC than anything. I'll be posting pics of the things I do to her and things I purchase for her as I go alone.

Some goodies I've got so far...
Much needed new plugs
Smooth bellow
Brand new SLP lid
New GM front filler with mirror polish stainless bird insert. This was sitting in original owners garage since brand new, no rock chips or scratches, got a real good deal on it!
Got a brand new set of never been used Corsa tips waiting to go on the car.

dang son, that car needs some compound and polish. looks like it will be a nice car once it's cleaned up. you should do a Superhawk Hood from Roger @ USExotics, the plain hood just doesn't feel right on a T/A.

Decided to change the wires when I changed the plugs and I like having things shiny as well so I polished the heat shield for the plug wires.
Cleaned up the coil packs
got a new gear kit from Hawks
Got the new headlight conversion kit for the hid low beam kit
4300k foglight kit

my bad, I completely forgot about the Hawks "kit".
these are what I was talking about https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...p-updated.html to me the lenses just look better, and I like the way the bulb is held in better.
