Default MCACN... First Show for the 70 Trans Am

Hey Guys, I just wanted to thank you all for the information and help you gave me for this build. We took the Lucerne Blue 70 Trans Am, RA3, A/C, Sandalwood Interior to its first show after restoration to the MCACN car show. The car was well received and did well in Concurs Judging and it was one of best shows I have ever been to. Over 600 of the finest examples of Muscle Car s on the planet, it was awesome to be able to participate.
Thanks Again for all of your help. Steve K.

I saw you car there and looked over it for a long time. Beautiful car and the sandlewood looked great IMHO. My only complaint was you didn’t have the hood open!! . I went by quite a few times hoping to run into the owner to see under the hood. I also have a ‘70 T/A RA3 A/C 4sp, but in white with blue deluxe.

How did you score?

It was a great show, I was back with a buddy of mine who had 7 cars there.

It looks Immaculate .
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Had no idea they did 600 cars at those shows .
Disney , Epcot , SeaWorld and the GrandCanyon all in one location.

I was with the guys at the end of the row with the survivor 1970 Camaros. Nice TA! It's an amazing show that every car guy needs to put on there bucket list.

Tom, from Muscle Car Alley did the bodywork and paint , then we had it sent back home to us and I finished the 2000 piece puzzle. It was a huge project for me since I di not disassemble the car at the beginning, but hey she's done and looks pretty good.
