This was inspiring, I'm a US veteran living overseas in an Asian country that had many US bases, and so the service members imported/purchased various muscle cars. They were left here after the volcanic eruption and sold as scrap to locals. So, there's some really, amazing and rare cars here. But in 15 years I never saw a Trans Am for sale. As soon is it came up, I jumped on it and bought it from the 82 year old owner who had it twenty years. Before that it was owned by a Korean who got it from the US base. I'm now the proud owner of a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am that is in surprisingly good condition considering this is a 3rd world country without ready access to parts. I'm very excited to get it looking as good as the one in this video. Although, I have to say it's in running condition and newly registered with new paint, interior, etc.

I’m in the middle of the same restoration and I’m only about half way thru this video with my 5 year on it , anybody that critics the slightest part of this video should be ashamed of themselves, the struggle is real and it’s not for the faint . You should be proud of your achievements, hats off to you 😎

[@benedicturiah7037]

@Julian Jackson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@benedicturiah7037]

@Julian Jackson It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@julianjackson456]

@Benedict Uriah you are welcome xD

[@shelbygtsoo]

Great job and thank you for saving her

[@robertbratcher6592]

Thanks for sharing your experience. The journey is long, but so worth it. My 17 year old son and I started a 1978 Y82 a few months ago. Don't listen to any negative comments. I restored a 1939 Chevy truck two years ago. Part of the rebuild is putting your own personal touch and likes.

[@ericmcginnis9413]

My first car was a '77 301 powered firebird! Rotted floor boards along with rot on a fair amount on all the body panels. The exhaust rotted apart and the rear passenger lead spring was pushing up threw the floor board. Living in the Ohio valley these f bodies are rotted and any examples worth having are astronomically expensive but yet I searched every alley, back yard for years. Along the way i passed on an imaculate black n gold 81 because I wasn't a fan of the front n rear nose, even thow they could've been changed. I then purchased a sweet 79 z28. Built , fast and realy too nice but it wasn't what I wanted so after 8 years i found my 78 Firebird T.A. it had custom paint and an earlier 455 with truck mounts of sorts. Unfortunately the car came at a point in my life when I lacked fundamental abilities. Resources for repairs and after 8 years i sold my dream. I have regreted it ever since! Cherish these god knows i will if i ever get another chance! Great job rebuilding this beautiful example!

[@tomkelly7143]

Well done great job

[@albertbrooks8652]

This guy should be Proud. It goes to show you that a lot of blood sweat and tears plus some time, you can bring back the most rusty automobile out there. well done sir. Thanks for showing it can be done.

[@simon.houseaccount4807]

[@Shaqeroni]

Fantastic!! Amazing work

[@MrKodyJ]

8 Track was a nice touch.

[@supernovaallisondunlap4558]

Nice work! Just put a new motor in my 77. Can't wait to go to 2018 Bandit Run!

[@noahsmadness9150]

Great project

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Also my Camaro taught me Connect the flipn frame!!!! Dont let them twist! I ripped the t tops half way with a 406 mated to a turbo 400 and 373's

[@incognito4rico]

Agree with that and t tops on f bodies, good to get frame connectors and/or roll bars to stiffen it up

[@scottyfisher2321]

Love the fire chicken!!!!! I had a bandit car.

[@dianeprice7034]

nice job did you rebuild motor

[@fabiantaylor4334]

Looks good

[@TheMikesylv]

I had a 78 TA 4 speed car black as well no t tops though I so want to get another one there is nothing like the view down that hood with the shaker scoop, such a fun car to drive . the car was so tail happy with the posy rear end I was sideways more than straight

[@samucaspider]

Car show!!

[@ericmcginnis9413]

I watched a vidio yesterday of a 78 with an L.S. and they're great powerhouses but they're restoration had two little tiny things that got to me. I know this is nit picking, and this is just my experience after having owned a 77 firebird and a 78 T.A. but in 77 the dome light was round along with the side view mirror mounts. Where as in 78 the dome was rectangular and so was the side mirror to door mounts. But 5hey had the wrong dome light and it got me to thinking!!! Also I know some of these parts couldn't have been easy to get! When I had mine certain parts were unobtainable. Now after year one stepped into redoing the bandit T.A.s maybe parts are easier but I'm sure you had you difficulties! Looks great!

[@NotDarin]

I work on my 78 y88 here and there. Expensive hobby

[@markarrivi3818]

What do you guys do with the vehicles when they are done. They look great !

[@miabellagsd]

Smokey and The Bandit!

[@joetyner8607]

I'm restoring a '78 Trans Am with Hurst Hatches

[@7gerez]

Same

[@jamesstuart3238]

What did you use underneath for the red oxide primer? It looks extremely close to factory.

[@RestoredCARs]

with what program are you doing this videos ? THANK YOU

[@bradnavratil5502]

So from 1to10 how bad was the rust and how bad was the body work...was the floor pans good quarters good....just wondering I am doing a 80 T/A i don't no if it is in real good shape or not...😎 thanks

[@Wickhaven1]

5 years into my own restoration and there is light at the end of the tunnel! Should be ready in 2 weeks. Just waiting on registration to come back. Apparently, when they sit in the garage for 24 years, they purge your title!

[@fernandoromero3724]

NUEVO OTRA VEZ!!!

[@brand-x7049]

Good Lord, where did they find the factory-option 8-track?!

[@billferguson3029]

Is it for sale and how much. I need a car to put all my Y88 stuff into

[@Monekyslayer445]

Smokey is that you

[@ahmadkw4941]

Ok

[@64oilburner]

Why is it people go as far as putting their project on a rotisserie but don’t get it media blasted

[@PriceyMango]

bring back muscle cars

[@CrankAddict]

Not a real bandit? That was a lot of time and money into making a clone. This isn't a '71 hemi cuda!

[@jeffhouk4768]

under carriage should have been undercoated

[@stealthdmb4866]

watch my channel in the next month or two I will be taking the cover off a 1979 I got from a garage in Illinois it has been sitting since 1993 and has 78,000 miles on it . I am a mopar guy but this car has been in my wifes family for a very long time. videos like yours are inspiring. love the car .

[@liteflexin8129]

who were the 7 ppl that thumbs down..

[@MrAndyLocksmith]

No one bothers with blasting there? Just get the most of the rust n leave the rest.

[@6-Iron]

I would have started with something in better condition. You pretty much built the damn thing from scratch.
