Well, that went quick!

Today marks one year since I purchased my 1982 Trans Am. Progress has been next to nothing since we sold our house and I had to put the car in storage until our new house is completed. That was February 2009. In the next few months, expect more postings as the project is restarted!

Making It Authentic...

In my quest to build the most authentic replica possible, I have been trying to track down original PMD seat material. Unfortunately, there's no NOS fabric to be found...so I have to resort to buying up used covers, cleaning them, fixing them and dyeing them back to their original color. Here's my collection so far - what you see is enough for a complete rear seat and one of the front seats. Lots of work to do!

New Year's Knight

Happy New Year! With this new year comes big goals for my replica in 2009! Paint! Engine! Transmission! This car WILL move under its own power by the end of this year, something it hasn't done since 1997!

One small update - I received my voicebox bezel the other day - it's amazing! Take a look:




Not much new on the front nose, but I did push the car out into the driveway to get some better angle shots. I'll be starting the sanding very soon!
