'78 T/A 6.6L

April 5, 2009


Next step: Body Prep

After the destruction of Black Betty by a soccer mom in a Suburban, the quest for a replacement ensued. The find: a ’78 Trans-Am with a 400 big block was purchased in March 2009.

This page shows the progress of the T/A after some exterior sanding and reupholstering the seats, replacing the headliner, painting some interior panels and replacing brake pads and the master cylinder. Parts that are waiting to be installed are a new front spoiler, grille and electric fan upgrade. For bodywork, more sanding, weld in the holes where side molding was attached and patch a few rusted areas before applying a full coat of gloss black along with the famous bird on the hood and 6.6L T/A decals. The engine will get exhaust and a K&N filter for a mild performance increase and to get the muscle car sound.
