Project "Nighmare" 1991 Trans Am Convertible

Alright guys and gals. It has occurred to me that I have not started any sort of thread on my car. So I think it is about time that I take a little tie to do so. I have pics of some stuff not everything and a couple of videos of the car running. I will eventually get a good cold start video with some warm up time. Now to go over the stats

1991 T/A Vert
355 TPI
Unknown custom grind cam
T-5 trans which will blow up eventually
Vortec heads, Studded with girdles
Comp Cams 1.7 ratio Roller rockers
36 LB red top injectors
Edelbrock Shorty headers and y-pipe
4 Inch Mufflex exhaust with a Flowmaster 30 Series race muffler (new edition today was straight pipe before and was WAY too loud)
Subframe connectors
Boxed rear LCA's
Adj. Torque arm
Spohn trans crossmember
Spohn Front sway bar with energy suspension end links, stock rear sway bar with enerhy suspension links
KYB shocks and Struts
Adj. Upper Strut mounts
Adj. Front LCA's

That's all I can think of right now. I do need to get a Wander bar, Panhard rod, and a rear sway bar to match the front

Car needs paint, a new top, and a tune pretty bad. the tune will most likely come first then a new black top to replace the tan and then eventually a black interior swap. That's right when it's done it will be triple black.

I know you guys want pics but first I want to thank Dave for the work he did and his help on the car and letting it be at his shop to get it done and then trailering it back home to me....with that said on with the pics.







new used trans going in. original one was toast






new hard brake line going in


and crappy cell phone pics from a maiden cruise today







this is before I put the muffler on. My neighbor complained about it at 4 in the afternoon so I knew I had to do something to keep him quiet



And after I put the flowmaster 30 series on. both videos are hot idle



feedback and comments welcome
