April COTM ** VOTING **
Alright everyone... We only had 8 convertible nominated this month, so we are gonna put every vehicle nominated into a voting spot this month.
There are some heavy hitters this month in the 'vert COTM, so I'm gonna ask for this month if there is additional pics or information about the vehicles that might help people see why your nomination/car needs to win this month please post them up

Vote wisely... you can only do it once, and once the vote is made it cannot be changed.

Re: April COTM ** VOTING **
Here's a couple of pictures and a video of my 420hp/407ft lbs pull on the dyno. There's a couple other videos of the car on my youtube channel, one's a burnout, a couple of it idling, etc.
Most of the information on the car is in my signature. It's a 6.0L iron block LSx motor with a T56, a big cam with supporting bolt ons, full suspension, etc.

Re: April COTM ** VOTING **
I had it tuned while driving around town, the dyno was just for giggles. I haven't had it back to the track since the 10 bolt broke. I really want to get some times with the new rear end.

Re: April COTM ** VOTING **
Looking at the results so far, I don't think this is going to be much of a competition.
5.3 LSx, 6 speed trans, GC weight jacks, bilsteins, camber plates, c6 zo6 14" brakes, yadda yadda yadda. How many of these cars have been totaled before? I know mine has!
Hehe, I use the hell out of my car everyday possible. And because of that I've got a bit over 230k so far.
Currently in the garage getting a full wire tuck, coil relocate, front mount turbo, reverse cowl hood, radiator dumped forward
Hopefully running and tuned by mid april.
Kat, I forgot about the GMHTP blurb! Ha.

Car: 1992 Jade Green---Trans Am Converti
Engine: LS1
Transmission: T56
Re: April COTM ** VOTING **
Well considering it's going on the 8th year after the wreck and it's still not done, I'm gunning more for car of the next decade.
Car is a 92 Jade Green TA, and pretty much nothing on it hasn't been modified in some way or another. To see everything that I've done to it, check out the 8 page build log on my website:
http://www.ms-fbodies.com/jade_ta.htm
Just a few of my favorite pics:
First off a new never released pic of the current state of the door panels:
Tearing up the auto-cross:
Trunk stereo gear:
Back seat subwoofer box:
Hand made functional air box for the RA1 hood:
Current underside:
Pretty much full 4th gen interior hand made perfect fit a-pillars. Old Pic:
Again, best bet to understand the 8 year journey is to go here:
http://www.ms-fbodies.com/jade_ta.htm
Thanks for the nomination,
Kevin D.

Re: April COTM ** VOTING **
How about info on each car when posting for the COTM? I can see that some of the owners have but not all of them. If TGO is going to ask us to vote, then TGO should provide more than just a single pic. Or is this a "beauty contest"? I had my vote based on only the pics that TGO posted until I saw pics by one of the other owners. But based on that, I would still like to see the info on the other car as well. Basically....Give us info on ALL the cars or this is merely a beauty contest & not actually about the car.

Re: April COTM ** VOTING **
At this point it's not 'officially' TGO putting all the pictures together it's still just BADNBLK. He's just one guy trying to build the camaraderie of TGO. Demanding pictures/info of every car would be kind of difficult since the nominations aren't made by the cars owners and he'd have to go track down build threads or try to get ahold of each member which could take a number of days. I know I have a build thread somewhere on here but it's by no means complete. Just my .

Yeah that dash looks nice. Although I am not a fan of 4th gen interior plastic's seem cheaper than third gen to me. But all beautiful cars none the less
