"UPDATE FEB 19, 2008"

Found a great MOD Add-on for the game Nascar Heat from the last 1990's. The game had great physics for not just racing, but for hours of countless F'ing off periods of donuts and crashes.

This new mod though replaces the Stock Cars with 1st and 2nd Generation Camaros and Trans Ams, Cudas and Mustangs. I figured I'd make a silly Fix Or Repair Daily Ad with it Tongue

New Pictures tonight as Jeff Goss (www.jeffgoss.com) took some shots of the car on a back road. Beefy!

New Hoosiers and Draglites fitted on the Trash Can today! Also this week the interior has been outfitted with newly wrapped front and rear leather seats (1978), new carpet, new dash, door sills, and trunk lining. Pictures of all this to come!

"UPDATE DEC 13, 2007"

Well, our badass video didn't even make it into the top 5 selections for the Burt Reynolds Contest, so I guess the video with my TA will just have to make it's fans on Youtube and Fquick! On to 2008!

"UPDATE NOV 13, 2007"

We've entered the "DIY NETWORK" Network contest "Win Burt Reynolds Bandit". The contest requires the entrey to be a 3 minute movie about Smokey and the Bandit or a good video declaring why you should win the prize. The prize? A fully restored 1977 Special Edition Bandit with an LS7 Drive-Train.

Below is the video entry starring my 78 Trans Am, and Jim Goss as "The Fan".

The car was produced out of the Ponticrap Plant in Van Nuys, California.

I bought this car in 2007 as a new toy. It's taken the place of my 1995 Z28 that took up my time for 7 years. Now it's time for the Bandit. I bought the car at a beautiful price of $10,000 flat. No rust, great miles and I've been restoring bits and pieces ever since!

The car just recently got new front and rear suspension (shocksspringsleafs), sway bars, and sub frame connectors!

I get most of my info and all of my support and insight from Hitman's awesome 2nd Gen Website and Forum at www.78TA.com
