Hey guys,

Wish me luck tomorrow! A prospective buyer is coming to take a look at my '78 Pro-Touring Trans Am and appears to be very serious about buying it. If this thing goes this weekend then the W-31 is going to be going over to the Paint Booth next week. My spot is reserved so :cross .

I love the car but love this racing a little more :drive plus if this finds a new home then my Cutlass goes from this:

To THIS:

Much more quickly!

Here's a few shots of the TA:

Thanks guys!
Dave

Thanks Mike. Did you ever get that carb figured out? I am sending mine to Dean Oliver as well...his prices are ridiculously affordable for what he is doing for you and have seen his work. It is not 100 pts restoration perfect but looks fantastic for what you pay. And it is plated properly, not sprayed from a can.

Dave

I like the 77-78 beak on those cars. Heres a 79 I did. Was a real 10th anny car with a 403 olds. Blasphemy for not restoring silver on silver? Perhaps, but thats what the wife wanted and all that TATA stuff is $$$$.

Hi Dave, I think I got the hole package figured out :stir , the carb from DEAN'S seems NASTY. I cannot wait too get this thing down the track :drive . last november was the last time I drove the car, seems like its been years. It went from the trailer to the garage then into pieces......and yeah Dean was very affordable :aok
