Huron Speed Products Turbo Trans Am Build

[slideways]

Talked to Johnny last night and he gave me the go ahead to get a build thread going for this, I always get excited when Jon gets with me for a project has has, or has in mind. He has put soem amazing cars together in the past and I love being able to get my hands on them and do my thing with them when I get the chance.


So lets get to the good stuff here. Jon contacs me less than a month ago and we start going over this new project he has in mind, And I don't think it was more than a week or two later he pulls up up the car to have me take a look at it. Initial plans were to just paint the engine bay while he had the motor out to clean things up a bit, But after a little discussion and looking over the car we dicided it could benifit from a paint job overall, So thats what he decided on. He drove the car home and sent me a picture mail a few hours later with the motor ready to drop out of the car. This guy ladies and gentelman... Does not waste anytime :lol:


Now on to the pretty pictures, The car hould be coming to my place this weekend depending on the availibilty of my trailer (Helped moved friends sister and her entire house is currently in storage in the trailer) and then its time to get the game face on. Post will be updated often I would imagine between me and Jon.

I love the wheels!

Yeap it will be getting repainted OEM Artic White. I'm not sure what he will be planning on for wheels, Personally I like the look of it also but I do know he is planning on changing them.

Thanks, idea for the wheels was good, but the quality of the job was poor. If it was done nice and the rears were 17x11 as opposed to the 17x9.5 I probably would keep them.

Huron Speed is my business. We do exhaust for Corvettes and have a single turbo kit for the 98-02 f-body I am going to run on this car!
