[72TAMAN]

QUOTE=71GP76TA;4233475]I admire your dedication to hanging on to this car. I have a couple of friends that have had the same car(s) for 25-30+ years.... Me? I've had so many cars... I lost count years ago.... wish I still had them though..[/QUOT

The Trans Am was my first car and will always be mine, for whatever reason I will never sell the car. It changed name once because of a separation,for about a year or so .Look now I have all the place in the world to work on it now so I'm glad it was never sold. The car parks in the paint booth and when I want to work on it it's not a problem anymore

I believe someone said the striker plate portion is different too? It was a recent thread in here with this info.

Yes I would be welding the 79-81 bottom of door only to the 72 doors

Is this what you or talking about the rear tail with rear valence. The one on the Trans Am is new ,well 26 year old but never on the road ,so I don't think I will replace the complet thing except for the rusted part
