Dedicated in Loving Memory
10-26-06 Robert Grayson Melvin - deceased
My Uncle Grayson died around 11:30pm from a heart attack at work. Since then I dedicated this rebuild in his name.
Back when he was younger he had an old big block T/A and wanted to see my trans am completed. Unfortunatly he left us before he could see its completion so this rebuild is dedicated in loving memory to him.

About Myself
Hey yall! im Charlie im 16 years old and this is my EIGHTH car!
My grandpa has had a body shop for over 50 years and always promised before he died he would make a repair man outta me! And he has done jsut that for the last 4 years.
I repaired my 1996 Z28 camaro that I have now im using as a DD, and working on my 1999 Trans am now. Pics are up there somewhere. As you can see im not afraid of a little work and im not the average dumbass 16yr old with a riced out civic!
Ive cut frame rails off this car so far, gonan be welding them on shortly and done hours of removing parts, fixing repairable peices, and uptting these cars back together!
Im available to talk to on yahoo if anyone wants to for whatever reason!

Projecy Envy - The Beginning
I bought this car a few months ago from Adesa Impact. Adesa is a car sale for all cars totalled by insurance companies or doanted for charity and taxes.
I was jsut browsing downt he list keeping an eye out for the F-body cars and aha! 1999 pontiac Firebird-V
I already have a 96 Z28 that we rebuild into a nasty lil car, jsut bolt nos but still enough to wipe uot most othert street cars in my area.
So anyway I look at it and asses the damage and decide tis time for the LS1 (im 16 BTW)
Wednesday comes and to the sale with my grandpa. Hes the one w/ the dealers lsicense and such. Row 103 finally!
The bids start off strong at around 800 and the final bid goes to me for $3400
I was so happy i called all my friends and said I finally got me an LS1 car.
Bu the time we paid the buyers fee i walked away with the car for 3,409.00 bucks
