The best present/ thank you ever.
 

Well the best ever i hope, my best friend has been in iraq over a year now and in 6 months he will be home hopfuly for good. So in the process of his deployment ive been working on a little gift for him. he alyayws wanted a 93 trans am, when we were in grade school he loved this car to death and still does. Well i accuired the car and am getting it painted, and getting everything he always had chosen for it bought and installing it myself. Some of the things so far is an lt4 cam clutch kit and aluminum fly wheels 3:73 rear end, wheels, paint, headers magnaflow exhaust fully polished and many other things. When he gets back we are going to pick him up in the car at the airport with a huge bow on top. Hope he likes it.
Enjoy
Then me and him can cruise together me in my chally or nova or camaro, and him in hi 6 speed trans am!

That is just so cool......................what a welcome home for him......good for you.....

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

i don't why, but when I was like 10-15 i thought trans-ams were the sickest cars ever made haha

cool present man! I'm sure he'll be stoked.

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

That'll be a tremendous well-deserved tribute. I've still got my 78 Formula (remember those?), I've always had a soft spot for the GM F-bodies.

I'm curious to ask... what's special about a 93 Trans Am in particular to your friend? The styling stayed exactly the same from 93-97... is there something sentimental about the year of 1993 or something? Just being nosey. :D

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

That is totally awesome! I wish someone would have done that for me when I was over in Desert Storm l. World needs more people like you, keep up the great work!

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

Nice car that you made all the nicer. Friends like you are a treasure. He will be suprised:D Thank him for us, for all that he did over there.

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

I'm sure your friendship is a gift in itself, but that is a beautiful thing to do.

Be sure to tell him for all of us how much we appreciate his sacrifice.

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

Well when we were in grade school together 1993 was the first year they changed the body dramaticaly since we were born in 1983, his dad owned and still ownes a 1982 firebird se. He thought the new style was awsome and still loves the pointy nose rans ams today. So i cant wait to see his face when he gets this car. Ill post more pics, its going for paint next week.

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

Update, he is comming home in april and the car is almost done! Paint this week and the new foose wheels next week, then its on the lift for an underbody overhaul.

108,

YOUR TOO COOL, MY HATS OFF TO YOU.

RE: The best present/ thank you ever.
 

This has been a fun but so far expensive project, Luckly news started to travel around town of this so a local collision shop actualy offerd to do the paint and all the body work for free! Yes i didnt have to pay a dime for the paint, materials or the time. AWSOME! Thanx too carubba collision. Also my friend who owns a local tire and wheel shop gave me a killer deal on the wheels. 18x10 foose nitrous 2's. So thats going to make the car pop. And to top it off all 3 news channels are now involved and we are going to do a huge reveal when he gets home in april. This turned into a mini overhauling, but im no chip foose, so i guess buying his wheels for the car makes up for it haha. More pics comming, this car is looking awsome.
