I will start with my 1979 trans am pontiac 301 all original.
Uh, Dave....."ALL ORIGINAL" means the car should have some of it's "original" decals on it buddy. Trans Ams all came with, at least, the Trans Am Decals on the rear and side of the car. This car you show here has obviously been repainted and couldn't be identified as "original". What happened to the TATA you had and planned to make yours? Did you sell it?
Here's my car to continue with the thread.

I traded for a paint job for my other tT/A all so ordered with no bird on the hood. I should at least put the decals back were it says trans am though.

Thanks! Recieved "Cornerworkers Choice" award that weekend. Apparently the track workers agreed with you! LOL Unfortunately since I go to the tracks by myself usually I don't have anyone take video. I run a Go Pro on a rollbar mount inside the car once in a while but have yet to figure out how to edit and post clips on you tube.
Here's a link to a vid someone posted of a walkthrough in the tech inspection area at a Land Speed Race held at an unused airport down here in So FL. 1 mile to speed up and 1 to slow down. I was seriously outclassed by cubic dollars as you'll see (after all this is the land of exotics). I had the only car there running a carb as far as I know. You hear my car in the beginning, middle, and end. All the other cars were fairly quiet at idle.

Cool vids there, you like AC/DC a little huh?? Nothing like a little brain shake playing in the background. Also like the louvers in the rear window I have the same Crager ones on my TA. Let me ask you something do your lovers have any rubber feet on them keeping them from rubbing on the back window? I noticed mine recently broke and I repaired them but them seem to still rest on the rear window and will continue to make wear marks in rear glass.

I lost the rubber pads long ago but I use 3m emblem tape to cushion themetal to the window to prevent rattle and scratching.
Yes I like some AC/DC... lol

Still sounds pretty good. Good lookin too. I wasn't too keen on gold T/A's before but I definitely have a taste for them now.

I didn't like gold at first either...it kind of grows on you..lol

Here is my Y84 403 dual exhaust with a toranado passenger manifold and summit header back system. I am going to get a new front windshield so I took a video with my ipod touch. Yes another black and gold Trans Am. How do you like our 84 camping van? I should have shot that as well since the top of the van raises up. It is complete with diamond crushed velvet inside. The 70's and 80's live

what did you do to that chevy 350, it should be making alot more then 138 rwhp with your upgrades
Its not what i did, its what the previous owner did. According to the a performance shop they said it was most likely due to the cam being installed at a wrong degree

Very nice Brian. I love the exhaust sound!!! You have one Beautiful Trans Am!
-
Thanks! I took my future father in law out for a ride this past weekend. He has fond memories of his chevelle with dual exhaust, police interceptor engine, etc. Well, I pulled very gently out of his driveway doing about 20mph and then nailed the throttle, pinning him to the seat in the process. His response...."Now that's what I'm talking about!" I think he was grinning ear to ear. Glad I could do that for him on father's day.
**My dad's ridden in the TA before and he's scared of the car as it has way more power than his old super bee - 383/4barrel/auto.
-
My father inlaw would not want to climbed into a firebird.I can say one thing if he road in one of my f/bodys he would crap himself,not on purpose but he would.

sounds great Brian....I took the father in law out a few weeks ago....all I got was the oh s**t when i nailed it...I think more mad than impressed...lol
-
Thanks Tony! It's definitely a work in progress though. Seats are next on the to-do list. F.I.L. wants to go to a junkyard and get me leather seats. I let him know I'd be recovering these instead ;)

What that is all he will find is junk,as far as seats go thats for sure. I know brian is on track with his idea.
-
Brian...you may have already planned on doing this...but rewiring the seat springs and putting new foams(especially in the front, I kept the rear seats stock) was worth its weight in gold when i redid mine...just food for thought.
-
dont forget a bit of carpet between wire and foam
-
Tony, Dave, Jeff - yep, yep, and yep ;D
Planned on doing seat springs as I know the driver's side is shot - the cushion is literally laying on the floor boards right now. And since the springs are shot, probably the foams too. And the driver's side is leaning so I'll need to do the fix that Brett has posted up for the bushing. If its not the bushing...well let's just say the 80 firebird has a pristine set of front seats (albeit in red vinyl) that could donate to the cause until I need a set for that car. Was planning on using something between the springs and the foam so it lasts a heck of alot longer.
All in due time...weddings are expensive and mine's less than 2 months away now so cash is non-existent at this time, any spare is going towards the wedding fund.
After that...repop seatbelts as the car came with a color matched set from the factory. Some dog chewed the passenger side so they have to be replaced - they'll never pass safety inspection if I was to put them back in.
Then...well you guys know, its a never ending parade of $$ towards the little detail stuff like all the factory stickers that are missing due to the resto.

i saw that 160 speedo...and thats where my gas gauge usually is too
-
I got the 160mph from a 78 Macho TA that I bought from a guy for 150.00. The car was smashed, his wife wrecked into a telephone pole. I finally took my car on the highway to try and really put the speedo to the test and wouldnt you know it traffic is heavy. My little town keeps getting bigger and now that NASA is supposed to open up a old HP building in town. It is going to be even harder to find a open road
-
Here's a link to mine. I've posted it before I think but it's better suited in this thread. This is the day I brought her home for the first time. Kinda had a weird face at the end as I was tuning into the sound of the engine listening for noises. Unfortunately I've got a wiped cam lobe that needs changed as of now :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXRUPPLHR3w

I'm finally getting around to posting a vid of how our T/A sounds. Forgive the shaky image. My son was not the best at keeping my iPhone steady. Ignore the ugly blankets on the Cobra....dumb cat refuses to stay off that car, so we've pretty much given up. Oh well...at least she keeps all the field mice out of the garage. ;D
The very slight knock you hear is the throwout that needs to be adjusted out.

I think you are right.

Here's my 78 T/A.....70k miles unrestored, mostly original paint (rear qtr panel repainted at some point). Owned by the same lady in AZ until March 2011. I purchased in May 2011.
