project

Lots of AWESOME garage setups here!

This is my Project 15th Anniversary Trans Am in its temporary home:

My buddy Ricardo's back yard under a car tent!

The broken baseball bat came with the car... I use it to hold the hood open for now...

Evuntually it will get a better home and maybe even be finished someday.

Here's mine.

That's right folks. It's in a barn. It's an 83 Z28 which I bought as a parts car in 98. I used it's parts on an 87 Camaro which would later have the misfortune of being T-boned by a tree, leaving me with all the required parts for the "resurrection" of this car. Given the info I got from a carfax report, the chassis hasn't seen the road since 93.

and here she is again, in her new home (my garage). Thus far, just about everything is done except paint and body work. While road testing, I actually drove her out to the barn where she slept....no make that was dead, for 5 years. The car stalled when it got near the barn, like to say, "nope...not going in there again".

pwdbychevy do you have any front shots of your pilot light setup? I saw a pic in an older thread while I was searching and it looked sweet.

Those are AVS tail light covers. I like them better because they give it a bubble appearance.

It lights up pretty nicely. Not as good as the stock lights because they don't disperse the light as much. I'm thinking about switching back to the stockers.

It'll be kinda difficult to do three lights without any serious hacking of the headlight bar, but that would look cool

I just want to say if you dont have a garage and you dont drive your car much dont leave it out with a cover on. I did that for 2 years and it rusted every thing over I now have it all apart redoing it atleast it has a garage now.

Well, here's where mine stay, along with my truck and my wifes Bonneville, and 4 motorcycles.

It's nice to have a big garage, it's 28' deep, and 48' wide

TPI383, I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how that 'vert comes out! it looks like it'll be killer. Here is how mine looks right now. I just got a nice propane heater that puts out 80,000 BTUs, so I'm looking to get a lot done this winter!
