    First off... I LOVE what Papa Scott did with the Trans Am!!
    2) My favorite Trans Am's.... are from 1976 through 1981.
    3) I grew up around A LOT of General Motors automobiles, between the 70's and 80's.

      @@lorditsprobingtime6668 no just speaking truth. Was it a Sleek car? yes absolutely, but numbers don’t lie. the car was 237hp 320tq with a zero to 60 in over 7 seconds. My man the TA wasn’t even in the top 200 fastest cars of its era in foreign and domestic auto production. As a example a saab 9000 was faster by a long ways, a lotus Elan with 160hp was a much faster car, dodge stealth RT, Buick regal t type, Chevrolet L98 corvette, Camaro, the list is absolutely endless.

    That's a fantastic TA. Love it!
    Flipping the air cleaner cover does the following:
    1) defeats the cool air induction, so now you are sucking in hot engine compartment air, robbing power.
    2) defeats the hot air induction on startup. This is designed to take in hot air from around the exhaust manifold to bring the engine up to temp quickly ... the number one issue with long term engine wear.
    3) Sounds better, I suppose.

    the 1979 black and gold is one of my favorites. I have " East bound and Down" by Jerry Reed in my daily playlist. Then it goes to a 2002 era Trans Am. I'm not sure if its as much as the Camaro's of the era sucked , or Pontiac just nailed the design better as to why I like them so much. I would never build a 4th Gen Camaro, yet some day I want a black 2002 Trans Am t-top, ram air, 6 speed manual.

    I would say my favorite generation is the 2nd I guess it’s called ‘70- ‘81. I definitely love the ‘70-‘74 when they had the big 455 engines in them, (unlike my ‘86) also like the look of the ‘77& ‘78.

When i first saw it sitting in your yard i thought man that poor car doesnt look like its moved in years, it sure would be awesome if someone fixed it up!!!
    Scott Sr it was an absolute pleasure meeting you today, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me.
    Scott Jr hey brother I met you by chance getting a haircut one day. I gave you a pocket knife. You live right down the road from me. Long story short my wife is 33 and has stage 4 brain cancer and we only are going to have her until around Christmas. I have a 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter. As bad as times are my son and I bond over your videos, we watch them all together. If there is any way possible he would absolutely love to meet you. As a father it kills me knowing that my children are fixing to lose their mother and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm just trying to do whatever I can now to create positive memories in this horrible time. I pray that you get this message you can contact me I gave your dad my phone numer today. I work at Quality Plus Auto you drive by all the time. I waved at you last week.

    Scott (Jr/II) you need to start a KB video by pulling up in your 79. Introduce it as a project you built with your dad, not just a very expensive hotrod you bought, and ppl will wanna check out KC. Folks don't wanna think of you as a wealthy guntuber, so make sure to emphasize that you bought it in disarray, then Kentucky Customized it. Bet that Bandit will lead some folks on a high speed pursuit of good content!

    Gotta say a TA is so much better than a plain old Firebird. I pictured you as a Fiero guy personally, but thankfully I was wrong. Of course the original Bandit is the best TA, but for me personally I’m more of a Monte Carlo or 442 guy myself. Even the Dale Earnhardt tribute Monte Carlo looks good to me, somebody around here has one & it just looks sharp. Keep up the great work, loved the Knight Rider light bar, that’s a subtle touch to a great car.

    Had a 78 Trans-Am, 84 Recaro Trans-Am (Still hate myself for getting rid of it!) & a 88 firebird. Currently looking for another 3rd gen Trans-Am.
    How about doing something with a 1st Gen firebird or Trans-Am. Don't see much about them as much as you do a 2nd ,3rd or 4th gen these days, plus I always like the 1st Gen Pontiac better then the Camaro's.
    What about finding a 1st Gen firebird or Trans-Am and start building a drift car out of it!!!
    Also from Kentucky guys around Paintsville Ky, maybe we will run into one another sometime.

    My favorite car since a kid is 1978 Corvette Indy Pace Car or 25th anniversary edition (same colors). Never owned one but love the 2-tone. Also lots of dodge muscle cars 68-72
