There is a video from Dragzine on You tube where you can get the info from Dean.

It’s gaudy as hell, so it’s perfect for the drag strip will get lots of attention.
I wish he did it in 60s 70 classic lace panel paint personally but still cool . Will bring young people into the Pontiacs. They’ll probably install LS1 engine though (sad face)

It's badass! I like the prismatic bird.

It's always cool seeing another Pontiac racing

That was meant as a HA HA!!!!!!!!!!! I have airbrushed grills, headlights, chrome, and done lettering on fiberglass race car bodies in my 35 years as a custom painter and pinstriper. I never had a chance to do T-tops, though.

Very cool looking car. But in the wrong section.
No Pontiac in it, not in the Pontiac Race section.

Ive always said if you have a 77-78 Trans Am that is not black and gold then you are wrong.... But I gotta admit that's a sweet looking drag car.
