    Thank you all!

    First, I didn't take any interior shots, but Kevin I am pretty sure can provide you with some.

    I used

    HD FREE
    HD NANO TOWEL
    HD UNO
    HD POLISH
    HD SPEED
    HD POXY

    I agree, this car is so perfect looking.

    I regret not recording any audio of the engine. It is a monster!!!

    Engine is a 383 stroker with Tremec T56 6sp to 12bolt rear end. DSE 4-link rear end with mini-tubs (335/30/18 rear tire) and weld-in subframe connectors. Front suspension is a modified stock subframe with GlobalWest tubular upper & lower control arms. QA1 coil overs with Wilwood drilled/slotted rotors on all 4 corners (not sure the size of rotors) - but with the Hydroboost power brakes, this thing stops hard and fast
    Interior is kinda modified stock - corbeau seats covered in houndstooth pattern and Covan's dash with Autometer gauges. Awesome stealth-looking stereo was just finished this summer - this thing sounds good when driving but once car is off and not having to battle the engine/exhaust noise, its impressive how much clean thump it puts out.

    thanks to everyone's praise of thomas' outstanding work - he deserves all the praise!!

    Second, beautiful job, Thomas. The paint looks phenomenal and every little detail was attended to. Can you share any interior pictures? I can't get enough of 1st Gen Camaros.

    I have owned '96 and '99 Trans Ams, both bought new and I plan on owning a 1st Gen Camaro one of these days. This one is a beautiful example.

    Nice, that's pretty much how I'd mod mine except I'd go for a 454ci LSX!

    I loved launching the '99 Trans Am at the track on ET Streets with the T-56 and Moser 12-bolt rear with 4.11s and a 5500rpm clutch drop!

    Thanks everyone! I am hoping the shop is careful and doesn't scratch the paint up too much. Hardest paint I have ever polished.

    Wow! That's one of the most impressive details I've seen in a while, and that's saying something with all the eye candy around here. Wonderful work.
