1973 Trans Am updates
 
New Paint Job, Total Rewire of car, bigger cooling fans that you can hear go on when I go to the front of the car. Both fans are Rallye 16" and pull 4,000 cfm. New overflow reservoir for radiator was installed along with Autometer gauges for oil pressure and water temperature. The gauges were installed in the spot where the 8 track tape player would go. Dynamat was installed for sound purposes. Last item was a Ridetech bolt in 4-link installed to run coil overs and BMR anti-sway bar was installed upfront. A Ridetech rear sway bar was installed as part of the 4-link kit. Also, major work was done on the rear exhaust so the tailpipes would look stock placement.

Man, that thing sounds tough!

Only other item that might be changed is the steering box. With the change to the back it makes the front seem loose now. If I'm not mistaken the '73 steering box is 3 full turns lock to lock and the WS6 is 2.5 turns and should bring back the quick response. Only have to see if the WS6 steering box will clear the new fans.

Kingbuzzo,

Thanks for the comment. However, not realizing what you said confirms what I have been trying to do with this car and that is to keep it looking as cosmetically stock as possible with a lot going on underneath.

Here is a link that will show you what I'm talking about:
