Hello everybody!

My name is Louis and i'm from South Texas! (RGV) and I am on my 2nd Trans-Am 4th Gen. My first one I owned for a while (7 months roughly, I didn't complete it) til I realized I needed money to pay them bills... But now I got things settled and I'm back on the new Trans-Am I got... I want to actually complete it and keep it!

Here are some pictures of my 1st Trans-Am.. I paid $1,000 w/ just a bad transmission. (1995 Trans-Am Stock LT1, 1.6 roller rockers, 700r4 w/ corvette shift kit & servo, Lock Up Kit, 2.83 gears, Beehive taillights, Magnaflow Exhaust, and Corvette Rims) Unfinished, I still wanted to paint it Electron Blue (Corvette blue)
9600 9601

Here is the current project that I have 2nd Trans-Am.. I paid $500 w/ bad motor (1993 Trans-Am LT1, 700r4, 3.23 gears, Ram-Air Hood, leather interior, and hard-top)
I have so far got the motor up and running, new Optispark, rebuilt motor, fixed & cleaned radiator, new fuel regulator, new timing gear set, new battery, new thermostat, new heads, new spark plugs, new brake pads and drums, new water pump, new gm coupling for water pump, new brake lines, and new serpentine belt... and the list continues to grow...

This is the Paint job I want to do to it (Of Course Electron Blue) and those C5 Deep Dish Rims Machined Face w/ Black Background :)
