Here are some pics of my 78 Trans am and my 74 Trans Am project.

Nice 78......I like the look of the Snowflakes......looks to me like there completely polished?

Very nice '78, I can't wait to see that '74 driving down the road

Very nice 2nd gens! I absolutely love the '78! What a car!

I can't wait to see the '74 done. Before I bought my '79, I went and looked at a '73. The early 2nd gens make beautiful cars and you don't see them much anymore...that goes for all 2nd gens actually.

Thanks for the comments guy's. The wheels are actually a factory matte finish and not polished. I chose the silver inlay's on my car since it is a base black Trans Am and not an SE, although I think the gold would have looked good too. The silver is a lighter shade than the factory argent which was a bit darker, I just liked the look better and I am not a stickler for everything having to be factory correct.

The 74 is a slow project. I knew that when I bought it. It's a very solid car for $1000, The 1974 Trans Am is my personal favorite year model of all the 2nd Gen's. I have had it for almost 4 years and its largely dissassembled and right now in storage while I am trying to sell my house and build a new one, juggle work, and a family with 2 kids, but I believe Lord willing, maybe next year I will really start making some progress on the car.

My plans for the 74 will be an overall stock appearance with a nicely built 455 and a tremec 5 speed with some suspension mods. 7" rally 2's with no trim rings and the original cameo white with blue decals. My car did not come with an eagle and I am still undecided on that.
