The details...that old saying, "the last 10% of the job is 90% of the work " definitely applies here, looking awesome!

Absolutely correct and it's where most people start getting anxious because it's starting to look like the end is near

Being a former TA Show Car owner, I can tell you those rear spoiler gaps were horrible from the factory. Nice job on correcting that.😅

Thanks, yes, I've restored many on these Trans Ams and your right they never fit properly.

Looking good! Those rear spoilers never fit well, even when these were brand new. I prepped them right off the car carrier, and the fit and finish was horrible back in the day.

You are correct. Sometimes, I think people forget how bad these cars were from the factory

Looking amazing man, great work! Those spoilers are a lot of work for sure. They look great. I want to split the spoiler on my 69 Camaro build because I hate how high they usually sit so they don't bounce off of the quarters if you slam the trunk lid too hard. I seen it on a car a while ago and I liked the look. I was thinking of mounting a spoiler in the stock location holes in the trunk and 3M prime and tape the end pieces onto the quarter in case the buyer wants to change it up. I was thinking of just cutting it, enclosing the ends with metal and fiberglassing the rest. Have you done it or seen it before or do you have any tips or tricks? Or suggestions like don't do it because it's a dumb idea or something like that? lol Thanks again and love the videos!

I'm not a 100% on what your getting at. But I will tell you that I completely fabricated a new rear spoiler for my personal car. Reshaped based off of the original. I built it out of sheet metal and welded on. Now granted it's a custom car, but you could probably modify your original and keep it bolted on.

@@rogersrodworx Exactly, I was thinking to take an original bolt on spoiler, cut it at the trunk gaps to make it three pieces, enclose the ends since they will be hollow basically, and then finish the pieces in fiberglass and shape them correctly. Then the two end pieces I would use the 3M Primer 94 and the 3M double sided trim tape to adhere the two end pieces on so I don't have to drill holes in the top of the quarter panels. You think the trim tape will do or would you bond in some studs to the pieces and bolt it on? Thanks

@adamscustomshop the 3m tape would hold them, I believe. The pieces on your quarters would end up being small, so them in place.

Following your T/A build since I bought a 76 roller that I’ll commence once I’m done with a 69 Camaro, but have a question. I plan on shaving the marker lights which is extremely common on first gen Camaro pro-touring cars, but very rare on T/A’s I’ve noticed. Did you consider that ? It makes the continuity look so much better. Thanks.

We didn't shave them on this car, but on my personal build a 78 T/A i did shave them along with quite a bit more custom metal work.
