80 Trans Am build Plans are a 6.0 with a T70 front mount or heads/cam and a T56 or maybe an auto. Body is in awesome shape with only one rust hole on the quarter. Interior all there but really not usable, most likely switching to black anyways. My 18's from the 70 are going on there also and I have a clean rear bumper along with a shaker hood in the back of the truck. It's going to get a 77 nose also.
It has the original turbocharged 301 that's on it's last leg, it will be coming right out. I wanted to run the 6.0 on the original trans until it blew but I think the trans went out just putting it on the dolly. To be honest I am glad the motor is blown, it gives me a reason to actually go through with putting a built motor in. The towing with the F250 is awesome also.

I was really hoping I could go past one post without you coming in here and being a douche bag, guess I was wrong.
If u build it cool, if not whatever.
Try making a thread that encompasses each of ur builds and desires then look back after a year to see what we see.

Well it's kindof hard to not pass quick judgement like he is when you post about a build. I assume your intentions are good but you seem to have the attention spam of well a high school kid and are ready to move on quickly. Nothing wrong with that, just realize that when u post threads about these large builds then almost immediately sell over and over that it's kindof like the boy who cried wolf.

Thanks.
A few words of wisdom never hurt no one, I will wait a while next time. 
It looks nice but all the panels are dry rotted along with the dash. Carpet is excellent and the seats are ok but incorrect for the car.
I love this car and it's really comfy, glad to be back in another. I promise you guys I will restore this one all the way.
The only thing is I have no clue how the motor and trans are going to turn out but it will be LS powered.

So before you decide to act like an adult before you actually are, finish something you have started on 1st.
As far as this always being the car you wanted, didn't you have 1 before? It is just like the TA you had that you thought was garbage, you sold it so you could get a truck. Then you want another F-Body, knowing that it was the same base as the garbage you had.
Retard until you actually do something yourself and finish it, no one will take you serious. If this project works out for you great, but just remember, you blow your money on cars when you could be saving for the future when you eventually get out of mommies house.

Can't take the truth Retard? You post this stupid *** **** up all the time only to do other crap. Your 70 Camaro was supposed to be a "Pro Touring Camaro"? Do you even know what a Pro Touring car is? Just because you throw some paint on a ratty body and put big wheels on it doesn't make it Pro Touring. A real Pro Touring car would cost you in the neighborhood of $75-$150k and could take as long as 2 years to build.

If I didn't do this I would be broke as hell right now, I really don't make anything actually working. I'm having fun, there is no reason to quit flipping cars right now. Once I graduate and go to college, it's over.
Thanks for setting it straight and opening my eyes, unfortunately yes I do have to grow up, it sucks and my time is almost up.
I haven't even thought about college yet and you just made me realize I need to get my **** together, I have no clue what I want to do with my life. Maybe one day we will get along.

Damn guys take it easy! I read into a litttle jealousy in the previous posts. flipping cars is a great way to end up with an awesome car for little of your own money. i have owned approximatley 15 cars this past year. I started out with 1500 bucks of my own money and now own a 2000 ss with 12 bolt and fikse and 85k. It works! I never did post anything about the cars I got because I knew I had no connection with them but since this car came along no intent to sale. I hope you do get it built how you want. My advice to you is get rid of that powerstroke unless you have endless cash flow.
uhh, i think the body looks rough and the interior looks pretty clean.. And as for having the original 301 turbo charged.. id rebuild that and keep it original.. thats just me...

I understand, I guess this car will be our final "test."

Retard, I have no problem with you being a kid, most of our problems are when you start these build posts they end up dead. Stick with something and finish it. I wait patiently for my cars to be finished, but I have been around a long time and know how to do it right. I have cars being built in 2 different states with another one on its way in 2 weeks, 1 has been 18 months already and the other here in Houston 10 months for the 1st step of it. It sucks to wait, but for quality it takes alot of time and money. Just get a good education and when you are settled with a good job, house and family you should be able to have something very nice.

If you are referring to me then look elsewhere. This has nothing to do with jealousy. This has to do with Retard and all his build threads that always die out and not finish his builds.
And if you knew me, you would know I have nothing to be jealous of.
I will agree with 1 thing, the Pooper Stroke does need to go

Not really trying to point anyone out. I know when I was a teen I would have gave my left one to be able to buy sell and trade. Give him him a break he's probably living most gearheads dream when they were that age. If his post are that annoying click elsewhere.

The Pooper Stroke isn't going anywhere!
I love this truck, rides great and is mint inside and out. It does have the stupid 6.0 but I took my chances. It's nice not having to bum a truck to haul stuff plus there is plenty of room inside. Playing in the mud is fun too.

Haha I'll let you learn your own lesson the truck. I just sold mine I was literally stuck with for 3 years. Just replaced it with an 08 d-max( my second). I'm currently pulling a 6.0 out of an f550 with 132,000 miles to do headstuds and gaskets (because of unexplainable coolant loss) says ford. I know where its going lol.
