Project Greyscale 1971 Trans Am

[bsharpe]

Its about time i start a build thread for my new project. I am on this forum alot more than any other so I figured its about time to Share and contribute. Here is my quick rendering i created.


I originally just wanted to make some upgrades to the Chevelle i built 4 years ago but i decided to start from scratch. I just couldnt tear the chevelle apart.

I picked up the firebird shell and parts as you see here.

the car had some rust and damage but was pretty solid. It has rust in the normal areas and had damage on most panels but i dont like show cars i just want a driver.

I liked the ly6 6l90 i put in the chevelle but prices have gone up since. I found a 2010 l92 locally on craigslist and got a used 6l90 from a zl1 camaro similar but a better drivetrain compared to the chevelle.

The suspension was the hardest decision. f bodys have way to many options compared to the a-body. I purchased one of scott mocks early subframes from someone who decided to go a different route. i decided to go with ridetechs 4 link in the rear to save a little money.

I am currently trying to mock everythin up. I will add some more pictures later.
