Nice job- Any work on the taillights?

Very cool!

Prepare yourself for the morons who feel the need to tell you it's not a real Pontiac. There's a lot of em.

Of course - but I don't care. I have the real deal also. The will look great at car shows side by side.

Very nice Hesster. I like it!

Update - warmed up and Bird is on the Hood finally. Custom made by Da Vinci Wraps, and I had him redesign his template to turn the 'Birds Head so it was correctly looking towards the Driver. The Car is ready for the Cruize's and Car Shows.

I don't know why anyone would say that. It's the correct engine family for that generation F body. Looks nice and better than any Camaro I can recall. Has a kind of natural look to it. Enjoy the ride.

any cruises in Michigan i might see this at?

tastefully done good job!

Thank you Kindly for the positive comment!
There is the Lapeer weekly Monday Cruise and the 1st one is 5/6. I will show it for the first time there. Then at the Funtime Cruizers event every Monday at NAPA on Van Dyke and 21, 1st one is 5/12. Then prob Flint Dust them off May 18th. And selected Car Shows in the Metro area, even though those are a longer drive for me from Imlay City.

Oh - there def is the Vintage Camaro haters for sure, I won't post on those sites. They can KMA as this car will draw plenty of attention, hopefully most of it positive.

I've watched the TV series called "TransAm" and yep, they make them, or did at that time. They are the high end "Pro" built cars at $100K and up. Mine is a ZTA Kit from PMD in Pontiac MI, and it is the F/R Fascias, Hood, Fenders, Shaker Scoop, etc. They are RIM and Fiberglass. You have to fit the panels and Paint them. It was a extensive process but I took my time to ensure good gaps and flushs, and the Black BC/CC which is not easy to get a show quality finish painting it in a Barn. That took all Summer.

First Fun Time Cruizers Car meet was Monday May 12 in Shelby MI. 374 in attendence. My recently completed TA Conversion took Best of Show.

[srmmmm]

Better looking than any 5th gen Camaro I've seen. The wheels make for a nice, modern, updated snowflake. Well done and congrats on the award.

[Hesster1977]

Hit many a Car Show this year.

Yeah Brother - there are some downright Haters out there. The Hell with them, as I know the car is a huge draw at car shows. Who cares if it is built off a Camaro, it still embodies a Pontiac Trans Am, just a "modern" version. Prob the last big Car Show is this Saturday 9-20 in Almont MI, and I will take it there.

I was recently sent this image of a different Bandit conversion.

I like the recessed grills
