Popped in at Barry to check out if he had sold off the Trans Am for spares.
He decided the Trans Am wasn't looking how he wants it and is basically redoing the whole car.
The bumpers are made of a rubbery material and over years tend to get a bit warped and wavy. The back bumper seemed to suffer quite a bit from this waviness and I see this is being sorted out.
The front nose on these cars also tends to develop tiny cracks as the material flexes. Hopefully it won't happen any time soon.
Will check in with Mr B later in the week to see how it's looking. Can't wait to get it back and try get to the finish line.

I keep looking at this thread and the car and think: Wow, how far it has come since all those years ago when you first pulled the 350 after it gave up. Looks great, good luck with this very important finishing phase of the build.

Thanks man! Wow...I still remember you giving me a lot of good advice when the 350 died.KSF wrote:I keep looking at this thread and the car and think: Wow, how far it has come since all those years ago when you first pulled the 350 after it gave up.

Went past Barry last night and the car was being taped up and getting ready for paint. If all goes well, the car will be getting it's new paint job this morning.
The spoilers have all been secured on to the car and I asked Barry to do the join to the body with Sikaflex instead of with the horrible rubbers you see on some of them. I'm super excited to see how they come out.
Everything else has been covered up.
Whoop whoop
Will check in with GSAB a bit later and see how it's all worked out. If all goes well, tomorrow she can come home and the build can continue!

Black is the colour to be on a T/A. Plenty work went in that car.
