Project Chaos: 1973 TA and 1969 Camaro

[GregWeld]

Looks like you're going to end up with a far nicer car than you bought!!

I didn't go back to the beginning to read what brought all of this work on. It was a "done" car....

The paint and interior was a bit tired and worn from past shows and driving events. A lot of what is expected for a car that is driven hard and used as a track car. WBD and MSD needed to do a little more tuning research on the ATOMIC EFI set up for drivability. For the most part, the car is very well sorted. We added some additional levels of safety based upon how we plan to use the car. The roll bar, new harnesses, wiring improvements, and fire bottle would better match the intended purpose and some changes to event requirements. Plus these items give us peace of mind, or at least more peace of mind knowing that if we encounter an incident while driving the car, we improve our chances of avoiding injury. The last item we were interested in was making the car ours, but maintaining the legacy of the car Albert built. The paint scheme and graphics combined with some finishing touches to enhance the overall appearance, but not radically change it is the goal we are shooting for. I can't wait to see how you feel it turns out.

Great goal, and I think it's great that you have the means to accomplish this goal. I've been enjoying watching the TA come together now that I can actually see the pictures. Good luck.

Who makes the wheels you are using on the TA?

EVOD made the wheels.

The carbon fiber hood looks terrific with a fresh coat of cameo white and new decals. The OEM decal is black in the center however the center of the bird was cut out for a unique carbon look on the trans am hood. The shaker is also carbon fiber.





The rear decklid decal is installed. The 73 decals and cameo white paint give the car an original look however, this car is far from original.

Thanks Trey. I've enjoyed the comments and appreciate the feedback from members. This truly is a great forum. Far exceeding expectations.
