Mighty nice!

Social Circle, huh? Not far from where I used to live in Athens. Great dog breeders and an awesome old house to eat Sunday brunch.

~sigh~

I bet the pollen is really flying now in my home state.

I think the '91 is a much sexier beast. Old school and all.

I bet the folks in Walton county don't have a clue what to make of that car. OK... maybe they do.

Ooooo...Purrrrrdy! Not really digging the RA2 hood but good looking none-the-less.

EDIT: Do you have any sort of switch to deactivate the light bar when the top is up?

No switch it works with the top up. you probaly could rig one if you put one in you would have to contact Bruce on that sort of thing.

So does this mean you like it or that you hate it? I personally love it but we all have our own opinions.

[QUOTE 1991 Trans am Convertible that has been totally redone by Bruce Hawkins of Hawks Third Gen parts.
Let me know what you think of her now!![/QUOTE]Love the graphics and the RA hood. Tell me it's functional though. Or is it a giant air scop to nothinness? Are't you TPI? Anyway's, sick lookin bird. What was done to the power train(if any)? I was thinkin bout driving from CA to NC and having the whole thing done myself, but don't know if they will do it all. I've heard nothing but good from these guys. I'd like to have an LS1 w/ a T-56 a carbon fiber driveshaft, and built 12 bolt. Maybe a complete tuular K member as well. Not sure if they'd do the whole swap with CA Smog regs in place.

i am sure he would. Give Bruce a call and see what you can arrange. He does great work. My car is actually on the front of there web page. We would nopt go to anyone else. My husband had a bunch of engine work done on his 99 there and it runs and sounds fantastic. Best of all they guarantee there work.
