    78 Trans Am getting some love

     



    Christian has got on me enough about the T/A lately that I finally kicked the bird out of its nest.It's been about 4 years since it's last run and it's time for some miles to be put on it, I'm sure most will be by Christian. It does have a list of needs and should be done things to get it back into shape. The first pic is just out of the shed and the second is after a quick bath.
