Some work on the quarter panel.

 

[XEO1-]

Got the book on a833s.

 

[XEO1-]

That a real 440 513 manual flywheel and dad says it looks like it’s in good shape just needs to be cleaned up.

 

[XEO1-]

First coat on and out of orange. Sand down to add a second one because of runs. That purple power I got for 25 dollars at Walmart..

 

[XEO1-]

Got it put together and inside. Me and dad is going to get the engine out of the house and cranked up and put the engine in with the transmission. We have to drop the k member and put the engine in after painting. So hopefully we can have the car running and driving in 3 months or 4 months. I have to get a driveshaft made so probably 6 months then after paint the inside and outside again and put the interoir in.. you can see the engine hoist in the house..

I bought a c body am fm 8 track because of the eject knob. I’m pretty sure they’re the same design. A eject knob is illusive.. I bought the radio and throw away the eject knob or it didn’t come with it-wasn’t paying attention because I’m learning as I go so I’m easily taken advantage of and still to this day am when not knowing knowledge in fields of different subjects… I wish someone would bring all Mopar together on one big website-crowd funding for that will get people wanting to learn-all I see when I look up a challenger is it’s a r/t you really have to dig micro on these cars and it isn’t overnight especially me who can’t retain memory well..

 

[XEO1-]

Rear Frame rails I did that I think I did a good job on lining em up the best I could without heavily using a tape measure.. alittle cold that what I’m worried about-I like a almost welded through lap weld where you can see the bottom is warped like a putle of water so that’s why it’s got to be redone..

 

[XEO1-]

Some more pics-still have welding to do on the frame rails. Bolts are all lose.

 

[XEO1-]

Did some more welding on those spots. I use a light to see if I see cracks.

The trans am is rust free,runs,drives, just been sitting up for a year. About to get the car out and wash it. Get the buggy in the shop as a side project. The 250 gmc is the 2500 chevy of the day-rare rare rare, original green paint,a bunch of documentation that’s in my aunts vault.

 

[XEO1-]

62000 original miles.. gauges all work.. I’m going to get it out and wash it again.

 

[Photon440]

Oldsmobile engine in the Trans-Am?

 

[XEO1-]

Oldsmobile engine in the Trans-Am?

Pontiac 6.6 400 I think-not up to par on trans ams.

 

[Photon440]

Okay, wasn't sure. Usually the 6.6 Litre on the hood was for the Olds 403 while the Pontiac 400 would have a T/A 6.6 decal.

 

[XEO1-]

Here’s a picture of the engine.
It needs to be cleaned up. I’ll get it out and wash it,drive it.

 

[XEO1-]

That’s a 403 olds I guess unless it’s been painted dad said it’s signs it was painted he thinks but it’s so hard to notice that we think it’s original-we know it’s matching numbers.

 

[XEO1-]

The trans am was 14000 bought in 2006 I think.

 

[Photon440]

From what I can see of that bit of valve cover, yes it's an Olds engine. Here's a 403 out of the car:

 

[XEO1-]

I might have found my cars door. This is to match with the 318 blue dash to splash with the green.. I bought this because it was 300 and free shipping by ups stealth cloaking… sometimes if your lucky you take a package up to ups that’s suppose to be freight and they will ship it especially if it’s middle weight. This came with a bunch of parts and a glass but it busted and it’s mostly rust free..
