thanks to all for looking and please rate me and my boys new trans am project.
its a 1978 with t tops and has a 350 olds and a turbo 350 tranny, out side waiting for me to start working on it.
something funny..
this was the picture that caught my eye in the ad that was posted on the net one day ,the car was at a scrap yard in kingston ,i never even saw the car i just new it was going to be ours.i took a chance and sent a pick up the next day,payed the guy and had the car shipped to my house,it was a good choice because this car started all what you are going to see......this is the story.
today i had the chance to look the car over the car and found the floors in ok condition.my boy will help along with this car,he is 9 years old.
i pulled the rear carpet and the lower seat and the floor was good here.
this is the driver side floor,some patch work done ,i got the car it was very wet inside ,so the carpet is wet,check page 3 for the complete floor.
the seats are red but i plan to redo or put another set inside.i have a pole question so you the viewer can vote on what look i should do in this car please vote and rate my ride thanks,there are some samples of the seats that i might go with ,keep going.
i found these mags very cheap, funny thing they match the color of the car now,i will redo these in matt black.
does anyone know how to pop the hood on these cars ,were is the hood latch cable,its to cold for me to play with it now and i dont want to break something trying.maybe there is a real easy way i would love to know. thanks


well i finally found out how to open the hood,there is a cable with handle in the front lower bumper.
i also ordered a new set of door locks because the locks and the keys do not work ,on the right rear of the wing extention there is damage so i bought an extention from ebay,more pics to come soon
.this wing extention is very hard to find.and i found it on ebay.pics are on page 2 of the new part.
this is a box of little extra parts that was removed from the doors,and has some other things in it.


as i said i finally got the hood open and here are the pics of the moter,its a olds 350,with a 350 trans,i also found out that the frame on this car is from a original z28,the original owner told me .
here is a pic of the handle in the bumper to open the hood,what were they thinking when they made this car?duuu,gee chuck ive ran out of cable for the hood release i only have two feet left,ok buba put it in the bumper so no one could find it ha,ha,ha burp...there was a shaker hood but now bolted to the hood,like an old dog on a chaine,i will remove this one day and put it in its place .well if you are
wondering what thease things are..........im am to i was not able to open the trunk so i removed the rear seat and took pics to see what treasures wait in the trunk but i cant make out any thing very important..

finally i will keep on moving with this car.


what look do you like?
the bandit or concept?
i found a way to open the trunk,i was looking over the car today and i found a botton
in the glove box...(someone told me) i have no exp with thease cars so i learn as i go...


there is alot of extra trim and dash parts that i found in the trunk.
there seems to be extra trim for the roof liner and the t tops.
maybe from a junker car that was at the scrap yard with the car.who knows



there was 4 arm rests and i found the reason for the metal on the rear window. its for that grill they
had back in the day (louver) (i guess that was the look back then ).


the trunk is solid i will keep you posted.
need to know,post you answers on my guestbook thankyou.
question: does anyone know how much horses are in the 350 olds motors with a 4 barrel carb?
does this olds 350 motor have a 4bolt main or two bolt?
what motor come original with this car?
keep on looking theres more....
