Well, finally finished my 76, sorry for the huge pix. What you think?

I like it. :D Those '70 F-cars are really climbing in value and getting alot harder to find, especially in good shape. I want a 76 T/A.:metal:

am I wrong, or are those '74 front and rear facias?
I think I should have kept my '73 split bumper project car - oh well, live and learn.

That particular facia was used from 1974 through 1977.
Sweet LT, by the way. It was the LT Camaro that got me going on F-bodies in the first place. ...and I still miss my '77 LT quite a bit. Nice touch of customizing there with the '77 Trans Am quad tips. I blacked out my headlight bezels, whereas you left them natural. I looked hard at the picture, debating it and I think you made the right decision: It gives the right balance of black and satin aluminum.

thanks for the comments guys! I wanted to remain kinda retro, thus the Cragars... I have always liked the TA tips, but I may modify the rear quarters (later) to allow them to tuck up real tight. I was really torn between blacking out the trim and bezels, but I figured I could leave 'em like they are..and if I didn't like 'em ...then I could always black 'em later...but I like the sparkly chrome. And everyone knows chrome makes your car faster! It took 6 years (and 3 cars) to do this thing! I dropped it with a professional, and prepaid him for the resto (BIG MISTAKE!!!!) he used the $$ to build a shop, and then had to keep back-burnering my car to pay his bills. I tried to be patient, but after 5 1/2 years I got the car back, and he gave me a corvette project for the $$ he owed me. I sold the vette (too much money and work!) and used the $$ to do this car... It took me 6 months to do it myself! I guess all the waiting definitely gave me the burn!! It is priceless, when I am out driving it, to see people in expensive rides twisting their heads to look at my old second gen!:)
