Looks good to me. It's nice having good people around isn't it? Pictures of her look good too. Hope you get your brake cable done soon and without a hitch.

thanks guys,ya it was a lot more work than i thought it would be. i need to order a new cable soon-and need to get some new fuel lines and probably brake lines too.they were very rusty when putting in the new floor pan and my buddy was worried they might brake (fuel lines) if he tried to hard to get them off.
he is a very good friend (only new him for a couple of months-but new of him for years),i really yhink he pushed himself a little hard getting it done in one day on top of his other projects in the shop.

Go with the AN fittings for your new fuel lines. You'll thank yourself later.

taking the t/a in to work today to try do an oil change and maybe some more/ondercoating under the car.
we ran out at the shop when doing the floor pans.

[racereaper7]

did the oil change today and got the back seats in.went in alot of easier this time then the first time.
when doing the oil changed i saw that both upper ball joints are torn

I've got a thread going for my Y88 front end rebuild. There's a few pics of the AN fitting/Stainless braid lines. I'm sure it ain't the sweetest job, but I'm happy with it.

went over to my dads today,nice day so i thought i would do a little work on the trans am.
so i installed the carpet today.wow that was a lot more trouble then i thought it would be.turned out ok but it could have been done better.





car is finally all back together,there is a car show today so i might try and go. cant take the trans am because i did not get a chance to wash it today.im exhausted.....

[racereaper7]

sorry its been a while since i have been on here.have not gotten much done on the trans am but with my new editon: my very first house
i now have a place to start working on the trans am. the garage is in need of work,but it is a place to kind of stay out of the elements. (needs to insulation any ideas to make the garage a better working area im in).
some pictures of the car in the garage and new battery.had a question to,the car is missing the battery hold down and was wondering how they go in. was looking at classic industries and getting them (there is a hook and the brase on top?)
-any info or advice would be great

haven't posted here for some time but it looks like you have done some nice work on the car to get it back to it's former glory

keep it up...every little bit helps!!

[ShakerBreaker]

It's great you now have the T/A inside and can work on her whenever time permits.

[racereaper7]

ya i cant wait to start working on it over the winter.
i went out the other day after i brought her home and was working on the battery,and i paused for a second and realized "this feels right"
i can really start to work on it a lot more,so its also got a double plus.
1-i can work on it a lot more to get her back to the way she was before
2-my dad saves $100 on storage (thats how much the storage unit cost)
