Just Got Carried Away with the Family Project

X2 it would have been tough for me to cut that lid up the non WS6 lower isn't going to hurt your car in any way.

Yea, I was going to put my old lower on there, but it would have defeated the look that I'm try to get through the "snout" openings in the hood. I made the openings large enough to fit the WS6 lower box.

Plus, to make the old lower box look like the one I have reworked would have required more work than I'm doing on the lid.








Fit, now to make it look like something.

It's almost like a birth but without the pain! (short video below)

Managed to squeeze it out of its birthplace for the first time today.

A few more parts need to be installed but it is pretty much all there. Next move will be to see the fine doctor (aka Phil)

That first movement under its own power is always a special event.

Congrats!

What exhaust is on that rig?

Man my stomach was sinking as you were first backing it out - I was like "OH SHIT HE'S GONNA SCRA-- Oh phew, he straightened out..."

Eh, headlights/wipers, they are overrated.

Congrats!

What exhaust is on that rig?

Kooks 1 7/8 with Dynomax axle dumps. We'll see how long we can put up with that! Although, it is not a daily driver.

What about a Trans Am spoiler?

Good eye Ryan!


I'm going to run this spoiler for now even though I have a T/A hatch in the basement. It needs to be painted, glass installed and tinted which I will probably do this winter.

sounds great- looks just as good!

to be honest, I've always thought the Trans Am rear bumper looked weird without any exhaust tips. But I like the V6/Formula spoiler and bumper better in general anyway.

Congrats on getting it going!

My thoughts exactly!


That is why this is just a temporary exhaust set-up until I spring for a Kooks 3" tru-dual all the way back next winter. This was suppose to be an economy build.

One hell of an economy build
