i don't really mind it either. Looks like a fun driver, something you could drive everyday and enjoy without worrying to much about the paint.

Re: the amazing world of people

We need an official thread for stuff like this lol. Like the tribal Camaro with a Corvette rear end and the limo IROC.

Re: the amazing world of people

I think it's a waste of a Trans Am.

Re: the amazing world of people

I kind of like it, though it'd be better without those little fin things on the front fenders IMO. ...Kind of reminds me of the '79 Trans Am from that one My Chemical Romance music video.



...maybe I should do my POS Caprice up something similar, with the burned look and just overall wear instead of just a fresh coat of white lol

We could call it the thread of oddities.

That is my car...1992 Firebird Trans Am..It's gone much further. I'll post more pictures when I get some more work done. Needless to say it's looking less and less like a Firebird every day.

Re: the amazing world of people

To expand on my reasons for doing this. I picked the car up for 1500 bucks and probably overpaid for it. I decided that it wasn't worth the effort to fully restore it and decided to have fun with it. The drivetrain is in okay shape and I drive it often. I love F-body cars...Well Firebirds anyway. I also am a Star Wars geek. So I decided to make something unique. It's far from finished and I'll post more pics as I get more work done, but in it's present condition after some recent work, I think some of you purists would have a heart attack. So until then unless you guys are in the Ocala area, it will stay un wraps. To make up for it, I plan on buying another one to completely and properly restore.
