still in process- I'll update as things move along. Fighting the firewall and engine compartment color. I painted it twice and the color just doesn't look right. Was trying to be fancy and go with a deep gray but it just keeps looking muddy- so I'm going to sand everything again and paint it black. Then I can get back to assembly

"

4" tubing- 180 degree pieces cut open and then formed.

This and the modern mini-lite style wheels will hopefully help carry the Trans-Am theme-

Those wheels look sweet from just that one pic of them mounted. Car itself is looking kick butt, and can't wait to see more man.

I think so- it's coming along now- it's not to the point of your car yet but- I'll race ya to the finish:unibrow:

it would be really really cool to "power park" a bunch of PT cars this year- I EXPECT to see yours there!

maybe we could park next to the rat rod pow-wow and heckle them
