1977 Pontiac Trans Am "Super Bandit"

[@aquateen77723]

Man....This T/A is SICK! The attention to detail is phenomenal and Mike Lavallee is an amazing artist. Normally I like the stock Bandit styling, but this is one of those times I am just in awe! Thanks for sharing this gem, Scottie! 👍

[@user-df5hr9uy4w]

You know some of these guys think they have to be a critic on every site they look at! You forget one thing when you create or modify your car you design it they you want it.It's called Customized or creative. That's what wins car shows! You guys must drive around in complete stock cars then right! Not everyone is like that they like to put their personality into it. A complete stock car is boring to me! I think that is the best looking T A I have ever seen Awesome job guys!!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on Brother....Thanks for the comment!!

[@blackholeentry3489]

R MAN I've driven a Pontiac in one form or another since 1960. Both of my sons learned to drive on a 57 two door hardtop and my first wife drove it for decades. Currently have a 58 GMC with a 60 Pontiac 389, A v-drive boat with a Pontiac 400, and an 88 Fiero with V6 and five speed. Started my driving in 56, came across a rare 54 Kaiser two door sedan (less then 500 made), bought it for $10 and installed a 60 Pontiac 389. Drove that all around the western USA for decades until one day I was stopped at a RR crossing on Highway 101 in Oregon, someone came up from behind, didn't realize traffic was stopped and plowed into me. Still miss that ultra-rare 'sleeper.'

[@johndayberry8172]

Absolutely superb job of rebuilding that Trans Am! I sure like the electric Hood on linear actuators, that totally rocks!

[@silentmajorityuscitizen9990]

Super job guys! I've been a huge fan of the bandit TA since I was a kid. Bought the 1980 turbo when I was 16yrs old and still have today. Torn between keeping it original or making a mod out of it. Needs lots of work as I had a hell of a lot of fun with it. I first saw lavallee's work when he did the "Hell's TA" some years ago. Awesome job! Need to look him up, especially since I live in Snohomish!!

[@ScottieDTV]

Good luck with Yours Brother...Thanks for checking this one out here!

[@thebacdoc6464]

I would modify it. Those things are slow, but look nice.

[@Newyellowcab]

1st Thank you for the awesome video. You always do a good job. People watch videos as much for the comments as the actual video. We have spoke before so please dont take my criticism too negatively, I love the car and appreciate the amount of skillful work that went into it: I love the paint job and the 77-78 is the best year for T.A's. As was mentioned in the comments I "Also" dislike the head lights. 1st Question: One A.C. vent? Please tell me that its an A.C. car... Straight pipes? Way to loud! Why not go with Electric cut outs ( Dumps) and a tuned H.P. exhaust? So far this isn't looking like a car you can you drive for a long while. The wheels: As somebody else mentioned, I would have liked to have see the gold honeycombs so as to highlight the amazing flames. Most of the interior is amazing, although I'm not big on the diamond pattern at all, (Sorry, that is a tough sale) although I do agree with you on most things, thats not one. I also miss the stock signature T.A. swirl reflective dash, but I do love their choice of the instrument cluster / panel and gauges. The motor and the bay is almost perfect... The HUGH " SUPERCHARGER " Chrome, Billboard under the hood "Not Good." But dont get me wrong...I do love the car and I enjoyed the way you presented it. Thank you Sir.

[@ristin59]

[@siegoldie779]

that would look better with a wide kit on it but still a cool car

[@afreemanreigns]

Just an idea Scottie maybe you might think about it? I have noticed how much difference your still pix are at the ends of your videos compared to the filming video footage, colors are way off and not as good. Maybe slip in a few still pix throughout the video so we can really see the..real colors. Like with Hotrod Joes '69 Camaro the green and the copper jumped out on the still photos, even the grays were so different. I do like that you show the builds like seeing the interiors before it is all finished, this gives us small garage guys idea on how we can build what we can with our limited budget, tools etc...
