So I know its been a bit of time since the last update: Bad weather and Grand theft auto keepin me up at night.. Oddly enough his name is Niko(in the game) eh.. eh.. ahhhhh you get it.
Im almost ready for paint,silver, I want to go back white... but I have the silver sitting here hanging out in the bedroom so Its something I dont have to buy and if it really gets to me down the road... Ill just repaint it, since Im doing it myself. Anyways, heres whats been done.. enjoy doods. This is the rear quarter (in front of the drivers rear tire)..before the surgery.
This is when I got the fiberglass work done and some rough sanding..I hate sanding fiberglass...
DONE ! ..I had to make the whole corner out of fiberglass and bondo... not bad for a not-so pro at this eh..I was impressed 
Behind the wheel This is after the fiberglass work,but you get it and can see the hole in pictures above if you must
This is it done Again Not too shabby huh?
Tribute to W.C as you can see the body line.. wait ... No you cant
ahhhh exactly.
The other side looks the same as well
Booty shot like an 18 year old ( no wrinkles )
Fenders Shaved and hanging out.
Fluid jet be gone Nice and smooth. 
New project Interior. Making it nice and up to date. This is after i pulled the fabric off... got some work to do... stay tuned for that 
Here she sits.. waiting for her big paint day (soon stay close)
Thats all for that..I hope you boys are enjoying this as much as I am.. and I wish you could share some of the cuss words as I go along, but Ill settle for nice comments.
oh, What the hell is this.. I found this as I was putting some fluids in her.. 
You can see where it goes into the harness right under my thumb.
Have no idea... and everything was hooked up when we put this motor in..... so Im kinda wondering here. help?

if you can put them on the inside. where the wiper was.. its on the inside.. but the others i couldnt really get to them so theyre on the outside...in which i ran into some troubles getting it nice and smooth without taking too much of the fiberglass off... but i managed to do it.. carefully without weakening it. But if you can do it from the inside.. do it.

I dont want to build it too much I just want to push around 225-250 rear wheel horse...cuz I have a trans am Im starting on after this. And that motor will be pushing around 325 rear wheel horse and over 400 lbs of torque (the motor stock is 220 horse and 320 lbs of torque)

trans am? i approve as long as you dont sell the 240 or something, because that'd be very lame.yeah man, lemmie know whats up when you get into charleston. HOPEFULLY, within the next few weeks i should be rebuilding my motor (again) and swapping it into a new body, swapping over all my aftermarket suspension, all of my interior, etc. cant wait til your cars all nice and rb'd, and mines all nice and kat'd and noice. we can go roll up 240-steez and be all super cool and stuff.

So here are some new pics of the car.The body line is filled and smooth a lot better than it looks in the pic..
Remember The non existant rocker ??
I even had to shape the inside of it that wasnt there, and how the outside flowed with the body..
This is the color that went on the car that I didnt care for.. it looks better in the pics than what it does in person.
NOW FOR SOME GOODIES
This is my next project:1978 Trans Am 400 auto. If any of you all saw my introduction thread then you saw the other my dad has (this one is mine)
You can see door damage(I have a new door) and rust.. mostly on the surface
The motor is in need of a lot of love.. it will BARELY move on its own power.
So instead this is the motor thats going in it (the motor out of dads car). Dont worry it isnt the original motor in his car either.. that original one is sitting in the garage and is getting rebuilt to keep that car numbers matching.. which is something Im not too concerned with that. The motor Im getting (currently in dads car) is out of a 69 Gto with 6x heads that had the bottom end rebuilt and an Edlebrock Torquer intake. Before I put it in Im going to cam it and do a few little things to it to give it some more pep. 
And here is the SSEI running on 12lbs of boost about 260 whp that my mom wrecked. It still runs awesome.. just ... as you can see it bent the control arms destroyed the doors, and buckled the piller between the front and rear doors on this side. could be fixed but instead Im selling it.
Any Buyers? $500
So there you go .. theres some pics for you to chew on for now until I get can some white paint and fix the compressor. Enjoy!

Oh yeah man. But if its a Ram Air 3 and you replaced the cam... its no longer a Ram Air 3 ... right? I thought that was just the cam. If im wrong please tell me.. i know trans am's like the back of my hand, not Gto's though. All I know Is the ram air 3 and 4 are pretty powerful motors out of the box

The engine is a 6.6L 400cid frankensteiner out of his old grand am it has the ram air 3 hood and headers. The engine is bored .30 over. He bought the car wrecked with no engine or tranny for 150 bucks, his friend tied it with a chain to the back of his 69 camaro and towed it while my dad steered. Lol He bought it when he was 18 he's 46 now. About two years ago he gave it to me. He dropped a whole lot of money into it though. The trans am they sold, it was a shame that car was sweet. here's some pics of the GTO
 
it needs a cleaning it's been sitting around for awhile

yeah I have the same motor. Not ram air 3 but the 6.6 400 in both cars. The one Im putting in is just going to get a decent sized cam and maybe a few other things. My buddy can get all the surfaces decked and planed for like 100 bucks. so i may do that.
