My 1988 Trans Am, 357 Vortec/Built 700R4 and much more
Ive been on here for a few years now but never have posted much pictures of my Trans Am. Ive owned it for almost 3 years now, just swapped in a new motor last winter along with a ton of other go fast goodies. Let me know what you all think, Ill post up more info later. The top pics were taken just this weekend during a slight snow, had been 60+ all week then dropped into the 30's and snow. Should be able to hit the track in the next 2 weeks!!!
Picture of after I painted my GTA rims back to factory color, they were charcoal when I got the car but were Gold before that.
The new motor
Ill post more pics when I get back a little later tonite!!!

I also had a hard time making up my mind, but I saw a ram air hood in person and actually didnt like it that well because it just looked out of place and didnt flow well with the rest of the body. Also I only paid $150 for the Harwood 3" cowl hood brand new from some seller off ebay !

Your hood fits much better than mine. I have been thinking of putting the stock hood back on for paint and body work. My body man looked at the Harwood hood the other day, and said it was going to take a lot of work to get it right. Not really on a budget, but I'm not sure I want to invest that much more into having the Harwood corrected. Rather spend the money on smoothing my firewall out to match my new motor build.
Your car looks good, gonna be sweet when finished.
As far as door molding, I left mine off also. Liked the look, and honestly, I have found that if someone swings a door into the car, the dent is always up by the window, not low in the door.
