Default T/a im working on

Wussup people,

I'm new to LS1 Tech and just wanted to share what I am currently working on. Just a few pics of what i have done to my red 98 Firebird and my new addition the "now" 94 black Trans Am. We started taking out both front ends on Sept. 24th and switched them on the 25th. Then we sanded the yellow and white T/A on the 26th and painted it Jet black on Sept. 27th! Was a rough 4 days due to my "impatient-ness". Now I am just looking for a ram air hood, ram air filter assembly and c5 or c6 corvette rims!!!


<the 94 trans am,the collision next to the door has been fixed properly
<taking the front end off
<starting to see what goes where
<throwing the older front end on my firebird and starting the TA



JET BLACK PAINTJOB

ya there was no 35th anniversary TA cause then they'd have to have made them til 2004. their 35th anniversary firebirds or Collector Editions firebirds.... they just happen to use the term and bagdes on the WS6 TAs. but good job on the conversion
