Goldmember 78 T.a. For Ousci & Sema
 

HA, HA, cant think of a name for her yet but I thought this was funny anyway heres my speal, Hello I'm Telly Violetto I own Violetto Autoworks in Montello, WI its a collision and hot rod shop. I was picked to go to sema and to the Optima Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational the Sat. following the sema show. It's a petty cool thing 50 cars in the world are picked to attend, it consists of a road coarse event, autocross and a speed stop challenge and there will be an hour long tv show televised on the speed channel a couple months after the show. The car were taking is a 78 y88 gold special edition 1247 of these cars were built with a 4 spd and mines one of them, I completely tore the car down and it has a Jakes Rod Shop c6 style front subframe and rear torque arm, Wegner Motorsports is building a 415'' lsx engine, bfg is doing the tires, forgeline wheels 18x10 and 18x12's, big baer brakes, the first ever set of carbon fiber front fenders from Carbon Kustoms. Plain and simple this car is going to be one bad ride! Heres a link to when I was picked http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...142505077&op=6 So I will start posting some pics soon but I want to get a leg up on this thing so its not so boring. I am looking for posible sponsers if you want to get on board let me know I still need alot of parts from body panels, gauges, wiring, weatherstrip, decals you guys get it. It's a big deal and I will promote the hell out of everyone's products p.m. me or call if interested (608)297-7910 Thanks alot Telly Violetto

Very cool project Telly. :thumbsup:

One word, AWESOME!

There is a new pop dance song out that references a gold Trans Am. Heard it on one of my wife's stations, reminded me of that! The 70's T/A's are getting a lot of love lately. :thumbsup:

My cousin told me about this, no I dont listen to this music but she's hot so it's worth it. If you cant stand the music foward it to 1:20. :thumbsup:

Great project Telly. I have always wanted a 70's Trans Am, actually had a chance to buy one when I was in college. I regret never buying that car.
Keep the updates coming.

Telly, you gonna be sportin the head band when you roll into Optima!! :lol:

No headband but maybe a mullet and a a black fake leather coat with trans am written down the arms! Oh yeah a mustache and cowboy boots too! :lol:

There ya go!! Can you pull off the muscle shirt? I sure couldn't....now days!! :captain:

I like it but you better get you butt in gear!:unibrow:

I am! These 16-18 hour days are getting old real quick.

Ok after a long long saturday I got the torque arm mocked in, finished welding and painted the rear stuff it's a roller again yeah.

Ok this is in real time! Just finished painting so now its time to get this thing put together I plan on having most of the wiring and plumbing done by the end of the week, wheels and tires should be here next week and I think the engine will be on the dyno tomorrow. I'd like to get this thing on a track before I get to sema so I hope everything goes well.

Did Wegner build that engine?
Looks very nice.:thumbsup:
