Another Bird Flies!!
Well it finally happened, after almost 5 years I am now in the process of only ironing out details on my 1970 Trans Am Basket Case project. What my wife had called "the biggest piece of S#$% Ive ever seen" she now calls "Lola" (walks like a woman, talks like a man). I cannot begin to explain the sense of pride and accomplishment of finishing this beast. Many many thanks to all of you on this forum, without who's advice this would never have happened. To all those guys out there in the process, keep going!! The rewards are FANTASTIC!! If you need anything, I'm out smoking the tires ...

Looks amazing, congrats. We all know the work, cost and dedication it takes to do these cars. You really do need to take a look at that ride hight though.

Thanks all, I'm hoping the front springs will work in some, it's only had a motor in for a few weeks and she's only got a few miles on the clock right now so it's pretty tight.

Pics as promised
Thanks for the kind remarks. Here are some pics of before and after. She ran really nice this weekend. Got some really fun miles on the clock. She hummed along nicely at all speeds, 185 temp, good oil pressure, and best of all no leaks. I probably spent a week chasing leaks! Stopped at a local car show in Milford for a short while. Got lots of looks and compliments. I'll post interior pics once I take some Keith.
