Well guys, it's about my time to chime in here.

First, I would like to apologize for my absence during the month of February. I was not even aware that my car had been nominated, much less made it to the voting stage. February was not a good thirdgen month for me. I had been working on my car SO much non-stop that I actually became frustrated with it and for roughly two months lost interest and did nothing but drive it. That however, will lead me to sharing the very shortened version of my car...

I have owned this car for 5 years now. It was the first car I ever bought with my own money working part time hours at a pizza parlor in the spring of '08. It has probably spent 1/3 of the time I've owned it parked because it used to always act up and break down. Somehow I couldn't bring myself to part with it, though. I got another daily driver and it sat with a dead transmission, waiting patiently for almost a year until the time was right. In June of 2011, that time came. The tables turned and I began what I had been dreaming of for the past 3 years.

Here she is in another life. We had a few bumps, scrapes and a near death experience along the way but we lived to tell the tale.



Laid up for almost a year. Front end not looking so good






Now, about that 2011 business. Finally the time and money were right and I said enough is enough. Spent nearly two years hard at work nonstop. Transmission and rearend got fully built. Interior got custom restored. Spent a couple months at the bodyshop. All the weatherstripping and windows sweeps were replaced. Full intake, exhaust, a few other goodies and some free mods. I made custom taillights as well as retrofit HID hi/lo projectors. I've gotten my hands dirty and bloody more times than I can count but in the end it was well worth it.

So much has been done I honestly lost track. But, when the dust finally settled I had taken the car in the photos above and turned it into...













For show:



For street :

 

Full manual valvebody

Right after I finished installing the retrofit HIDs:





A little engine bay stickage




Here is the full mod list on the car in a nutshell. It really doesn't emphasize all the work put into it:

For now, this is my daily driven street vehicle. I want to take time to enjoy my work before it gets retired to weekend warrior.

I feel very grateful and honored to even be posting here right now. It's been a long hard road getting this car to where it is today but thanks to this site and perseverance it's all paid off.

 

BTW I forgot to mention, I have DSLR

All very nice cars, but I was very torn between 2 cars for sure, but had to vote for one. Good luck to all.

 

I think its time a KITT clone won!
KITT_2000 got my vote

 

There are MANY nice cars here on TGO. Thanks for considering mine to be among them!

Enjoy!

 

Awesome car OUTATIME GTA, any engine bay pics?

 

God this is a hard month. Every single car here is frickin awesome!!!!!

 

It was hard for me too. But I wouldn't feel right about voting for my own car so camaroguy18 has my vote. There's a few things on his car I personally wouldn't have done to mine but as a big picture very clean ride. I like it best out of all the COTMs excluding mine of course

 

Thanks! Here's a couple of the engine bay. Nothing fancy, except for the 'ol ProCharger and awesome MSD placement.

 

It looks very nice Del. Awesome job, as with all the cars nominated.

 

You got my Vote!

 

awesome cars guys!!

 

Wow! What a tough month this is. Good luck everyone!

 

hey guys.. so i finally got some pictures to add here.. Ive gotten several msgs to add more pictures of other parts of the car.. so here you go. The car is filthy and havent had the car detailed yet this summer. I need to have it detailed soon as I am taking it to some car shows and cruises. I got it 2 years ago and it was in really bad shape. Ive done alot of work to it to get it to this point. Some key things i want to mention are the front headlights are also my turn signals. I used rear mustang sequential lighting to work in the direction im turning.. That was a headache to wire up and many relays work to get this done lol. I will make a you tube for it soon and post it here when i can. Thanks and enjoy! There are some really nice rides in here with some good workmanship fellas !! keep it up !! long live the F body!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously K.I.T.T. Has my vote !! I LOVE THAT CAR !! Turbo BOOOOOSSSTTTTT !!!

 

as much as I love KITT I have to vote for OUTATIME GTA because His Trans Am just Stuns like a Ghost

 

...

 

Once again, a lot of great cars here! My vote goes to motobooks-my favorite 3rd gens are the stock appearing early TA's and birds. Good luck to everyone!

 

Wow, lots of nice cars this month indeed. I too went for motobooks That car is so clean.

 

...

 

Thanks!!

Here's a rendition I got waaay back in the day from a member here.

 

I like a good looking stock car as much as the next guy.. but it takes a lot more effort and injinuity to build something custom and make it appear like it came from the factory compared to factory / aftermarket off the shelf parts.. custom homemade gives more character to the car and makes it way more unique

 

Congrats DBLTKE!!!! Reply to my PM if you have any changes you need made in your winners thread!


Thanks again to everyone that nominated and voted for their favorites!
