Quik Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) well i recently purchased a 98 trans am drop top. i always wanted a 99 30th aniversary trans am convertible. so instead of buying one. for some oddreason they are holding their value i deciede im going to build a replica but with a touch to it. the car will stay with the black top for now. im going with the Ws9 outlaw hood by VFN. its a 3" ws6 hood with firehawk heat extractors. I plan to paint the two tone aniversary stripes on it. I also plan to do the Ceta panel in blue. now as for the wheels. i was going to run either C6 or C6 Z06 wheels with blue tint just like the 30th ta wheels. i was thinking of running the 18 or 19 combo for the size. Since this shell is bare im going to run probably all Spoon tubular suspension front and rear. I plan to run a ford 9" with about 4.56 gears. as for motor it will probably be a 11.1 or 11.5 cr 6litre with ported LS6 heads and fast 90/92 combo. as for cam it will be the proven TREX, will use kooks 1 7/8 Lts with true dual 3" with X and 4 magnaflow resonators. will be backed by a T56 and i plan on using the two tone leather as similar to the 30th TAs had. i also will be upgrading to the better 99+ wiring thruout the entire car. Plan on doing the 4pth roll bar here some pics of how it sits now this is a pic of what i plan to make it look similar to [now these are not pics of my car but a car im going to make similar to] youll noticed in the pic of the 30th pace car it has the blue ceta heres a a couple pics i found of the WS9 outlaw Edited May 15, 2008 by Quik (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_bnoon_SS Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 i should of left it stock! Now that's CRAZY talk right there! Have a good time with the TA build. I like the 30th almost as much as I like the 84 15th edition and the same year Recaro edition. Some sweet rides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 cool project, the only thing i hate about my f body is working on the engine. i dont know if t/a are the same but id assume they are and the engine is tucked so far back its a pita to do any engine work like headers or heads and cam. which i what i really want on mine but wont . just becasue i need it to be 100% reliable and it put down 330/350 rwhp on a mustang dyno with nothing but a cai and slp lm. with the m6 and 4.10's is a blast to drive. as for tires and wheels i think the 18/19 look hot and if you do them please run a 335 out back these things look wicked with meats. i just ordered a new set of 17's for my ss. 17x9.5 and 17 x 11 fikse fm5's with goodyear 275 and 315 rears . those rims are frickin $$$ but light as hell any who good luck man.

04CHASE Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I didn't think the 315 or 335 fit a 'vert??? At least without modification. it should clear an 11 wide rim or 315 tire. the t/a are a bit more forgiving on running a wider tire. with the camaro's it barely fits . i dont know how much different the verts are in the rear wheel wells though.
