be careful with them freshly painted body panels fred. but on the other hand, now is the best time to clean up your frame. Is that the original motor for your car? if so you may want to just tuck it off to the side somewhere.

I taped up the edges of the doors prior to removing the fenders so no chipping....so far. I have them hanging side by side and covered so they wont get messed up. When I bought the car I was told the 403 was a number matching engine that had been rebuilt. When I got the car here I looked at all the documentation he sent and found out it was a Jasper rebuild. If it would have been a number match, I would have left it in. Since it aint, no worries now.......455!  Since it is modified and a clone of sorts now, I figured I would name her
7 of 9. She's hot, she's modified and she's a T/A.....resistance is futile!

I think I paid around $172 with the "Trans Am".  The mats start at $130 just plain.  There are a couple logos you can put on the mats, on there site.  The company is ACC.

Hope this helps.  The look great in person!

Heres how I spent my Saturday and Sunday. Engine is out. Subframe is completely dissassembled and cleaned. What a mess. Felt like 10 lbs of dirt. No rust though so that good. A little touch up and I will be ready for POR15. Im going to have the springs, control arms, steering knuckles, backing plates and sway bar sand blasted then POR them also.
