Just saw this thread. Loving it. Been a F-body forever- had a 93 Z28 ans still have a 96 Trans Am. Also work in the auto body industry- so I love the panel replacements.

I'm pretty sure if you said you were walling it this thread would blow up!

Wall a convertible. Dam ive heard it all. I had my fair share of car audio builds when i competed and ive done builds for a few friends. I still have love for car audio, but these cars is where my heart is. The knowledge ive gotten through the years of welding , metal fab. Plexi and fiberglass experimenting. I can build anything these days.

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn, you do some amazing work bro. Keep the pics coming. I dont envy the work going into this thing but I sure wish I had it once done, LOL

Definetly, im getting excited. Going to be putting my motor back together this week. Found a deal on a rebuilt th400. Hope to be picking it up soon. Paint and body are next after it runs and drives down the street. Mayfair maize yellow is factory color so ill be going with that. White convertible too which ive already purchased. Black dash, black carpet. White seats ( houndstooth ) if i can find them and white door panels. A very tasteful look for the bird. A little more ordinary than black, red, blue or white green. Which is the only colors ive seen in person

Ive only been building this car for a little under a year. I did the back half on my nova and front suspension prior to building this. 200+ hrs on each car. With some help from pops who is about to touch 62 yrs. His 68 camaro 4 speed is next in line to get some cool shit as well. Ill try and make a build log for that as well if i see lots of interest.

Dont talk about it, be about it.
