Glad you're back nosaint. Is your old site now defunct? I've always loved looking at pics of your car! Wish I could duplicate your wheels too

I always thought the 85-90 GTA gfx were hideous, but that car is gorgeous! I've changed my mind!

Ive been working on a few other projects while the Trans Am took a break in the garage.
Lets see, I needed a car so i played around with a Eagle Talon, Blew that up. Then got a sweet deal on a 90 GTZ. Played around with that for 2 years and just sold it. Bought myself a nice BlaZeR2 and since all my other cars are gone I cleaned out the garage of spare parts and guess what?
I found my TA!!!
The only thing still stopping me is the paint, 5G for a mediocre paint job doesnt thrill me. We really get hammered on paint up here!
Might have to finish up the 4th gen conversion that I pioneered years ago!
Nice to see some familiars in this post. What have I missed?
I lost the web page bug about 6 years ago. I was self taught and really liked playing and creating graphics. Not into that anymore so the site disappeared.....not much to report anyway!

I like the exhaust notches! I looked under my car (87 GTA) and it looked like you couldn't notch them very much...Now I know.
I took a pic of a neighbors car, and mine, from the same distance and point, and had Photochopped this idea before I looked underneath mine...Still wanna do it, just requires a lot more fabbing than I thought.

yah, there is a metal bar that runs through your path. Thats about the most you can cut and use effectively. If you were to trim the bar, you could get about another inch which was my plan just never got around to it.

Got any pics from underneath? Did you simply notch the urethane (bumper), and stop there? Or was there any metal cutting, or reforming of the urethane?
