Default a new build

Well i have started my 1979 Trans Am project. This car has been sitting on the back burner for about 6 years now and i thought i would get at it this winter. I have enough part that i could build 2 of these cars so it should be a ok build.

The floors are all solid the spring pockets are like new and that's the reason i have decided to Finnish this car.

The car is a 1979 T/A with a 1978 front nose

Wow thats in great shape. I have a 79 too. But I can't see it ever being a nice car. Drag car maybe. I too wanted the 78 nose but need to focus on one car at a time.

Great engine, but particularly spendy to build when compared to a Chevy small or big block. Of course if you want to keep it all Pontiac you'll have to bite the bullet and spend the extra money.
