Hi Guys, I am going to look at a 70 Ram Air III Trans Am. What do you think of the engine shots do they look correct.

1. Heater hose routing is not correct. That's the wrong holder and attachment point.
2. Should not have a viscous cooling fan being a non air car. 3. Should not be any decals on the shaker. 4. Inner fenders and firewall are WAY too glossy. 5. M/C should be painted black, not gray. 6. Should have an open face alternator.

7. The rear alternator bracket is missing.
8. The underside of the hood should not be painted white. 9. It looks like the radiator is for an automatic. Last edited by eaglesan13; 02-05-2011 at 07:24 PM. |

On the plus side, it has the correct 1970-72 fenders! That's a big bonus.

Headers.
Incorrect temp. sending unit placement. Why couldn't the car have HD cooling and include the fan? |

If this is the car in London, Ontario my friend and I looked at it, has a 69 muncie tranny, 1971 up alternator, timing cover and ps pump, wrong HW rally wheels, dash swirl looks wrong, HEI distributor, too pricey at 59,900 I think.

No cowl seal, hood springs should be black phos not spray bomb with black paint, wrong shifter knob it sports a cheap repop.

10. Missing cowl seal.
And that is the most interesting looking redo of a '70 door armrest I think I've ever seen. Awful... Agree, instrument cluster bezel (the engine turned piece) is wrong. Also, the little bezels where the dash grab bar meets the pad should be blue, not black. Vent knobs are black - they should be chrome. The comfortweave inserts should not be the exact same color as the surrounding vinyl.

Gauge bezels should be chrome?
Seats look like they might be from a 71? BJ

only the RA IV's had 2 snorkles
the center emblem on the horn button is sunk in. i hate it when they mess up the little things after spending big money on a project. a couple more hours and a few hundred more dollars would make a huge difference.

We need to have a NEW section here on the forums.
It could be called the Shark Tank, What's WRONG with this picture or just plain old "rip her to shreds". It IS enjoyable & educational,I'm just glad that MY car isn't the subject.
