1980 Trans Am 
This is my Trans Am. Ive owned this car for about 12 years. And its been an on going project for that many years. Just like any other car guy, the car is never quit finished. There is always something you find to change, modify or adjust.  My next plan for the car is some new upper and lower control arms with adjustable coilovers. Bottom line is that i love driving this car. This car is meant to be driven, not one of those garage sleeping beauties.  Its hard to tell from the pictures but this car is very low, which think is awesome. it makes it fun to drive, Once you see the bottom of this car you can tell that its driven allot,  Here is a list of mods that is done to this car..... and more to come
