Not too fancy compared to most. First time I ever saw these sites I was just lookin to find out how to get discs on the front and it kinda kept goin since then. I put a Baer Serious Street four wheel disc setup on when I was still convinced I would never run a tire and wheel bigger than a 15". Then a power booster for them, then a uni steer rack setup, Speed Tech upper and lowers, a hotchkiss hollow bar, QA-1s and then a TKO 600, then some TTII's from a PT member. Kids got me a set of the digi-tails for Christmas.......I have no idea where they ever got the idea I would like them but they are pretty kewl once you start checking them out! The rear is a 12 bolt posi with 1" drop leafs . Engine is a n/a 350. Car runs mid 13's and I drive it at some autocross events and take some long trips in it and in the summer drive it all over the place. Lookin to get some mini tubs in next. Been reading all the rear suspension posts and there sure seems to be a lot of really kewl stuff entering the market now! Anyways, thats about it.

AWESOME!!!
Sounds good. How do you like the Speed_tech uppers/lowers?
Thanks for posting.:cheers:

Well they seem to be well made, look a lot like the others I have seen. Were easy to install and have a nice finish. Really don't know enough about racing a car to give you a good evaluation of them though. I do know the car handles way better after all the upgrades. Lots more fun driving!

Trans Am cars at Wine Country Classic Jun 07, Sears Point
 

I was looking through my files and thought you guys might like these shots. Wine Country Classic last year (6-07), a good turnout of Trans Am cars, classics, also Can Am cars.

I've included GM, Ford, Mopar, and AMC, something for everyone. Also the Donohue 69 Camaro because it's so cool. As you guys know, it got wrecked later that afternoon..hopefully we'll see her in action again someday.

==================
Mike any idea what size tires and wheels they are running?

The wheels look to be about 2 inches different and the tires are certainly larger in the rear.

Not really Pro Touring, nor did i take it but it is one of my favorite pictures of the old car. I think it used to leave pretty hard.

If you go through my Webshots page you can see how the car changed through the years. A daily driver in 92 to a stock suspension drag car in 96 finally an Outlaw 10.5 in 2000 and sold off in 2007. It's gone now but there was a lot of fun had with it through out those years.

Now we've moved on to better things.

Don't know why I like this pic so much,its when my car was being loaded,and taken to Barrett Jackson.It brings back bad memories,but I still like the picture.{maybe its the height}Ron

This picture was taken by my wife and it has been used in Sport Truck, Hot Rod & Popular Hot Rodding magazine.

Cool. That's all that matters to me, is the handling. I'm not going to be racing/autox anyways. (at least I say that now!!:unibrow: )
Thanks for the info. ENJOY!!!:thumbsup:

I'm pretty proud of this one, just took it this weekend.

re HMSA Trans Am cars tire and wheel sizes
 

Getting back to Ty re Trans Am cars and tire and wheel sizes. Checked with Chad Raynal who owns the 69 Z/28 "Mid-Del Auto Parts". (Race 64).

"We're required to run no more than a 15" x 8" wheel on our cars. We happen to run 15" x 8" wheels front and back. The tires we're required to run are Goodyear Sports Car Specials, 6.00-15 on the front and 7.00-15 on the rear. The 6.00-15 tire has approx 8" of tread on the ground, where the 7.00-15 tires has approx 9.

Most all of the Historic Trans-Am cars run this same combo. Only the early Mustang notchbacks tend to run anything different. Their rear wheelwells/quarterpanels often require them to run no more than a 7" rear rim and 6.00-15 tire. Thus, they often run 15" x 7" rims front and back, along with 6.00-15 tires all around. "

I'm attaching a picture of Chad at Wine Country 07 also.

=======================
Mike:

Those are really great shots. I would of sworn that they have larger wheel diameters of at least a lot taller tire in the rear. Where do People get those special head light covers? They also look Bad Ass,

Take care and thanks again,

Ty

What could be more fun than a Big Block and a 5spd

This is one of my favorite shots because it was the first time I realized great photos can be taken while blindly hanging a pocket camera out the window and snapping shots.

Why would you say that?






Mick

Because it's not blurry enough !!

I guess you did, because this is the pic I was thinking of. You are free to post that pic and take credit for it.....SIR sorry for any confusion.

Roger how many inches channel that? :cool:

Technically none the floor is lower than stock.

What about the exhaust and pans etc if you dont lift the floor at that height?

I didn't say there wasn't a big trans tunnel.
