sorry, i like the chrome better  JMO

So do i,just my opinion.

I too liked the chrome look better, however maybe if you put some clear on them or paint them gloss black they will look even better. Just a thought. Your Dad is very blessed to have you in his life. My prayers go out to you and yours. Keep up the great work.

well with that said i can post what i did today,and i also got a new battery last week because the other one had a bad cell
today i finally removed the power antenna that has been stuck in the up position

was a little bit of a pain because nothing wanted to come loose but i finally go it out

looks good with out the antenna sticking up

i need to figure something to cover up the hole for now?

but i can finally put a car cover on it,this one is to small so ill have to find a bigger one.

First pic, Use an aircraft clamp in place of the spring clamp.

2nd pic is the cruise control servo. The vac line that goes thru the firewall is the cruise disable vacuum line and it attaches to a vacuum switch by the brake pedal.

3rd pic. The wheelwell will need to come out for access. You will need an a/c delete plate as well.

thank you for the input,going to try and do as much as i can before the baby comes (helps keep me busy/ease on stress)
it makes me sad seeing it sitting in the garage,and even sader that i will have to put outside for the winter so my wife can have the gargae to make it easier on her.

[racereaper7]

wow just going back from the begining of this post. not to much has been done to the transam but i have had a lot of good supportive feed back.
i just want to say thank you for everything guys.
im hoping to start working on the transam again,just to get me busy plus work out stress (i have always felt better working on the trans am,kind of like the old dads with my dad).

**this thursday we can hopefully find out the gender of our baby

[racereaper7]
