pretty cool these guys show up to the events. which one was this? did you ask him what his favorite cars were/are?

 

Trans Am Nationals in Ohio, 485 cars registered this year. I try not to take up much of their time because they are sooooo busy with the show things..

 

Awesome stuff!!

 

Man wish these events were closer not that I have a decent running or looking third gen at the moment and you cant do these down here with summers we have - well we do have Pontiac Southern Nationals on 9/21 gotta get one of my cars presentable and drivable for next year and a road trip! sounds like something to take a drive up for I didn't recognize any of those guys but have seen Wangers down here before.

 

Great autographs Tony! I'm sure they enjoyed seeing what you are doing with the car. It was fun watching people check out your ride, and their disbelief at the treasue trove of super rare parts.

 

Great to chat with you again Dave, good times!!

Hope I have more of it finished for next year and can stay a bit longer..

 

Man, I sure hope I can attend again next year, WITH the car this time!

Did you go to the cruise in Tipp City?

 

Naw, car needs tuned and I put on period correct tires for these shows soooo no driving that lol.

 

Yes, I saw the extra cooling grooves in the tread. Probably a good choice. It's a lot of fun...hopefully you can include the cruise next year.

For everyone looking video of TTOP350's Formula starts at 27:26.

 

So little respect for third gens! I have to say not much love for the Corporate engined cars. I liked the 3 1969 Trans ams one was a vert wonder if all real

 

Thanks for the awesome footage!! Man if these were all for sale it would be like walking through at Firebird/Trans Am/GTA/Formula/Firehawk brothel lol

 

Guess I should say, I didn't shoot the video and I'm not sure who did but it was on the T/A Nats page on FB. Just thought I'd share

 

Video?

 

In post 411

 

Anyone know if this decal is repopped anyplace? I've looked a little bit and haven't seen anything. Don't have any good samples of it here to get scanned either.
Is there a date code on them or not? Have an LU an PD code decal so far

 

I have quite a few decals that remain, but don't recall that one. Will look later today. Power washed my engine too much back in the day, before stuff like this became a thought. Most of my paper tags are long gone.

How do you go about duplicating it if you only provide a photo? Do they also need dimensions?

 

I'd think having dimensions would help out.

 

looked, but no sign of a sticker ever being present on my 90

 

Yeah, the PS fluid heat really takes them out fast.


Anyone have an NOS rear bumper cover for a 92 formula?

 

Another shot by shutterfuel.

 

I noticed a shot in the video you posted of your car where the camera accidently caught it from behind. The stance/wider tires was a great shot.

 

Really love how the wheels look without the caps. kinda prefer it honestly

 

Looks more like a track car without them to me. I dig it both ways.

 

Tony this is such a sweet sleeper
bit disappointed there's no burnout pics or VIDEOS
show us all, you know we want it !

 

Yeah I know, I'm a bit disappointed in my 16yr old self too. A few things are preventing that kind of hijinks right now.
My phone sucks, the tires are from 1994 and I really need to get it tuned because it runs like poopy. It runs, just not the way it should but she will soon.

 

Uh, yeah, because I need something else to do. 82 meet 92.

 

Have you sourced the mini cross fire Injection yet? Lol

 

Did you buy the matching one I sent you a link to? haha!!

 

I want to see the go-kart with a T-ram topped small-block.

 

now I know where you get all those parts.....

 

I just gotta go to this thing....

 

A few more random pictures and for those that have asked about the EGR tube, I did take some! Didn't remember doing that but found them going through the pictures.



Natural metal finishes cleared with a flat clearcoat after a de-rusting.




Original headbolts used. plug wire bracket bolts are GM correct but firehawks Ive seen used hardware store type bolts


Fitting the EGR tube. Mine is a bit different in size than SLP used but idea is the same.


Drilling a NOS slp tri-y hurt a bit.



I've seen several different types of bolts used in these adapters. A gasket was used on final install.


Not perfect but most will be covered

 

NOS cats and SLP Tri-Y y pipe.


Original low mile formula wheels and tires plus low mile firehawk tires


Cool shot in the trailer heading to Norwalk OH for Aug 2019 show. The tape is locating small dents and places that need work on the aluminum hood

 

You grafting the Tri-y into the N10 setup?

 

Yes I did. That's how it was designed to be done.

 

That egr Tube looks familiar lol

 

It could be, I ended up with a few extras to account for my screwups. I needed them lol

 

Man you have some cool **** 😎

 

Distributor adapter harness.


A lot of this got cleaned up better as it was going together





SLP sprayed black or gray paint over the worked areas. I know It looks sloppy but I'm going for a "how SLP did them" look.

 

Long nights = fuzzy pictures and burnt cardboard pizza



long nights part II

 

LMFAO

 

Man strippers looked waaaaay different when I was in my twenties

 

Pizza and a stripper in the shop....you'll never get your projects done working that way.

 

does your lift get moved when dropping the motor in?

 

As in the 2 post lift or engine hoist?

 

2 - post. Was wondering if you were using the 2-post and hoist in tandem to maneuver engine into bay

 

Since I have had the lift, that's how I've done them. In the old days, jack stands always seemed to be in the way of the hoist wheels. The lift is a big help with a lot of things.
