Clean, Mean, LS7-Powered Trans Am
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor-at-Large
With all the 2010 Camaro-to-Firebird conversions floating around the show, how come it hasn’t occurred to someone how awesome a completely updated Bandit-era Trans Am would be? Turns out that it has. This ultra-smooth ‘77 was built by Pinkee’s Rod Shop, and is packing a TRB Performance LS7, 4-wheel Wilwood discs, and one-off billet wheels–19’s in back and 18’s up front. Great, subtle details throughout: I love the Pontiac logo machined into the wheel centers. More pics!

Meh….
Well the engine bay is the only thing I like about it. clean and simple.
The lights though…, uhhhgggg…, bad design call. It looks like some simple aftermarket swap out from square to round. If you were going to do round, they should have used some projectors and floods on the lights.
The original with gold still looks better. Wonder if the center cap on the wheels rattle (click) like they did on a lot of pontiacs from that era. Remember that pontiac guys?

The engine bay looks weird.
Like theres no wired and battery and hoses and stuff. Just the engine itself sitting there. It looks lonely
