Back from Paint Jail!!!!!!!!!!!!
I met a member here last night with a red 98 Trans Am...sorry forgot your name. He told me to update you guys with some pics....this is my car last week coming back from paint....
Yes the car is back! Man does it look better than I thought it would. 
One slight oops taking the car off the trailer, front wheels rub the corner of the fender...made a slight bend in the pasn side fender...easy fix. The fender needs to be trimmed some more. That will take place once I get the front air dam on and more test fitting. Bad dog frame rails were welded on and lots of welding of new sheet metal. So "new" rust free fenders were used in the fronts and tabco was used in the rear to fix that mess I had. Enough of me talking....some pics!
Just getting back to NY:
Front View:
Rear View:
Rear Pasnside:
Rear Driverside
@ the house:
As far as the rear, the ride height will be lowered....so I will post some pics once I get the flares mounted.
Hope you guys like.

Yeah I know, l/r is mounted on the wrong sides, they were just mounted on the car for rolling around purposes

No I am not a memeber with the NJ club, I started a club here in NY- NYZCC.COM
I hope I can take my car for its first drive to the NJ show later in August.

Let me know if you're going and I'll stop by. My father is President of the NJ club so he'll definitely be there with his car. Shoot me a PM about it in case I lose track of this thread.

Thanks! Well I need to clean up the wiring inside the car, under the dash. Car starts and runs. I moved her under her own power few days go. I am changing over to the fast intake and having a hard time locally finding the bolts I need to change the oem valley bolts. I plan on driving her by next weekend! CF hood and hatch should be coming today and will have them installed this weekend.
