I recently made some research about windcharger alt mode in SS86/ age of the prime, and the current G1 canon say that windcharger is a 1982/83 pontiac firebird trans am. But the problem is that the vehicle mode don’t fit with the car it was meant to represent. Some gonna say that hasbro modified the car mode because of copyright with general motors. Ok. Then I searched some pic of windcharger alt mode in G1 cartoon and I’ve noticed that even in the cartoon the car doesn’t look alike a firebird, but more like a 1972 AMC javelin. Does the animator had been mistaken ? Or am i hallucinating ? Tell me your thought

I just bought a 1999 Trans Ams WS6, 6 speed, T-tops from the original owner, with just under 68k miles, in very good condition. Looking for recommendations on forums to increase my knowledge and help troubleshooting anything. Also, if anyone is in Maryland, that can recommend skilled, knowledgeable, reliable, and respectful mechanics for work I can't do, I'd appreciate it. I'm also the original and current owner of a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and my first car was a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP.

130+ cars. Fun day.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous posts. I listened to your feedback and got Trixie cleaned up accordingly. She got the new top and rally stripes, plus paint touch up, new brakes, schrader valve, plus some other maintenance. I'm very happy with the results, and I hope Dad is looking down and pleased with the results.

Picked up a Dashskins overlay this week. I did a test fit and it's tight!

So tight that I'm worried about it staying down after I install it.

I'm not new to general car repair and using silicone or gasket maker, but this is my first dash.

Should I seal up cracks on the OG dash or just lay this on top?

Any tips and tricks that worked for anyone here?

Thank you in advance

This shot involves rain… which is a dead giveaway that it isn’t real. My GTA doesn’t leave the garage when the pavement is wet. At all.

It was white when he bought it (first two pictures).

Originally my grandfather wanted him to paint it black, it can be seen in black primer in the third pic with him leaning against it. Allegedly, my dad saw several black Trans Ams in the same day and decided to be unique, so he shot it GM code 26 Bright Blue Metallic, the color used on IROC Camaros. Dad painted it in my grandfather's body shop. He hired someone to do the bird and the pin striping.

In talking to dad's ex fiance from when he owned it, it used to be the talk of the Nathan's hot dog stand on Long Island, and when it was originally done people were stopping to stare at it!

Dad told me a story once that right after he painted it, he watched an elderly man in a Lincoln back right into the nose of it, boy was he pissed!

Brought my ws6 in for headers. They did a pre install dyno. The car itself has an slp catback, slp airbox lid and bypassed the throttle body cooling. Makes 340hp. The dyno suggests that it makes around 390 at the crank. Looking forward to see the numbers after the headers and tune are done
