HI, love the work, love the car, do you have a build summary? I have a 86 that I put a lot of work into but has been parked and undercovers for the last two years. I am ready to get back into it.
Awesome video guys , my dad bought me a 75 camaro back in 85 , we spent 7 months rebuilding the car from ground up , we put an 83 corvette motor in it and I took it to Camp Bowie and raced it every weekend , I won 34 races with it , cherish the time with your dad , my dad passed away August of 2022 from cancer , I wish I still had that car and my dad !!
I was at the end before I realized. Thanks to both of you for sharing the "trans"formation of this awesome car. Brought back many memories of my 78' Z28. Man I miss that car. It is so great that a father and son can share a passion, spend time together, and build one hell of a car. The Tom Waits was a nice little nod for the neighbors. Stay safe and keep it at the red line gentlemen.
I graduated high school on 1987, so seeing a whole new generation into Bill and Ted era cars is amazing to see. I love the passion you have for 80s cars.
This right here is what it's all about! I remember when that first video came out when it was purchased. Awesome to see that Jordan never lost focus on the car and is still tearing up the streets!
Super cool to follow this vid. I was supposed to restore an 83 Pace Car with my dad when I was a kid, never ended up finding the time to dig into it and they ended up being scrapped. Now 10-15yrs later, and I just bought an 86 that I'm doing a full restoration on. Finding some time now to wrench on it with the old man - lots of great memories to be had.
Excellent job and vid. You’re lucky to have a father that takes an interest in your projects and supports them ... wish mine did back in my gear-head days. Keep up the great work.
Me too,i had a 67 chevelle,with a 355 with a comp cams magnum 270, my dad never even drove in it with me or nothin.My uncle broke in the engine and did the first hole shot,with a crappy gear from a power glide it still would do a burnout a block long and it was a turbo 350 trans,not a 4 speed,it was all engine,10.5 to 1 copression,and a 750 holley with a fuel regulator,but i would probably still have it if he took an interest
So so cool...... My dad and I built me a 1970 Chevrolet Elcamino SS 396 when I turned 16... Just like you guys we really went all out and got it into the 10 second range on the quarter mile... It's really good to see that this still goes on....Congratulations ! You really turned it into a BEAST...
Such a great project. Watched every second of the video and subscribed. Can't wait to start a project car with my dad when I get home from deployment less than 4 months to go!
Love the car & video. Love the steps you took to get your car your way. Back in 1999 i bought an 85 Trans am & even brought my new born baby girl home from the hospital in it. About a year later, I needed a family car, so with much heartache, i traded my hot rod in for a family car. Skip 18 years later ( yesterday) I bought my car back. Thank you for the ideas, & now my kids are grown, I can have a hot rod project. One payday at a time
About to drop 5k for nearly the same exact car from my neighbor, the interior is a mess and the exterior needs a whole new paint job but The engine works perfectly. I love the car and I can’t wait to see the finished product, you guys gave me a lot of inspiration thanks !
I did the same with my dad, mine was an 86. We couldn't do all the back road stuff you guys do because the cops here kinda don't like it. But a hell of a journey! I look forward to how it proceeds.
I have a 86 red WS6 Trans Am tpi my next project car. The car came with a lot of options back in the day. An isolation relay fixed my pop up head light problems. The motors actually work with the new relay. 86 TA total mulletville can't wait to get into the project.
Fantastic Video. You know to be honest saw it was over an Hour, and thought, just start it and maybe zip through till the end to see the final product. But couldn't miss a second. Had to subscribe, can't wait for more. Really great job.
If you have a car you love never let a sibling use it, I had an 85' loved it, had plans and parts waiting, let my brother use it, in 6 months it was in the junk yard.
Yeah, I did watch the whole video, and the Trans Am has came a long way. The 80's was a bad decade for US cars, but a few good ones were built. Of course that last run sure was a lot faster than the old 305. Enjoyed the memories, and hope you both have a Merry Christmas !!
This video was awesome to watch, and it truly made me smile. Seeing a father-son project on one of my favorite cars was a real treat for me. God bless you both !
Congratulations on that car that is an awesome first car I have an 87 GTA Trans Am 2 for 5 speed with a 342 gear 4-wheel disc brakes the only thing that car cannot have with the GTA Trans Am wheels it had Z28 Wheels 85 anyhow if you go to the junkyard you can find a well I don't know about now anymore but there used to be a lot of GTA Trans am's you can get two seats that are really nice and the rear we which came standard on the 8889 Trans Am. I believe the wraparound and some other parts for his car really cheap I even have an original Indianapolis or Daytona can't remember which decal for the 89 turbo Trans Am along with all 4 emblems on the outside as well as the inside passenger pouch Platt high school buddy dad Ultra today so he got the first 89 turbo Trans Am love you always get extra emblems and buy them and he gave me the turbo ones they're brand new and original General Motors box as well as the decal
you sure have come a long way with your T/A since the initial purchase. I've been following your channel and the evolutionary process. Congratulations ! a very nice father and son project right there that should inspire lots of others. Also a very nice chronology clip right here of the entire process. I enjoyed it a lot !
love what you did here! my dad and i are gonna do a trans am, but we're focusing more on the aesthetic of the car and keeping the old skool alive. historical preservation and all that. got a sweet lineup of parts, and a car getting some preliminary welding done (that's new england for ya) starting this autumn, a week or two from now.
Love the car. I got a 82 bird for me and my son. 357. It’s going to take a wile to finish. Probably will not go all out on the motor like you all did. Manly because I don’t have the money to. Thanks for all the vids and putting all in one.
Just found this video and I love it! This build is what it’s all about. The ups and downs is what hot rodding is all about. Really cool to see the evolution of the car and to see how much more power you were running by the end. Awesome!
My first car was a rusted out '82 Firebire se with a v6. It was uglier than the back side of a dead donkey but I loved it. It wasn't long until I had the opportunity to upgrade to an '89 TransAm. It wasn't the fastest car but she was pretty, metallic blue with the silver airdamn along the bottom. Pretty much same car as in this video and I'm watching it realizing just how bad I miss that car now. More than ever. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I loved these Trans Ams , and Years ago I had a 3rd gen..Z28 H.O. loved it , bullit proof engine and trans. sold to my brother had 195,000 miles. My dad, 86 years old......yeah, and worried about the car... just bought a 2017 LT1 V6 camaro . Outstanding car ! Amazing performance ! I could never go back and drive an older one ...of any year model.
I recently put down an offer for a 86 trans am t tops, auto trans, with a 383 stroker, edelbrock carb and intake, hooked headers and, magnaflow exhaust. Just waiting for the safety to pass (illegal tints going) and getting it insured. This is getting me more excited than I already am.
I'm a new subscriber. I have an 85 Fire Chicken T-Top and I bought last year and ain't nothing like the ole Pontiac. A rare lost division of GM's history. I think if GM brought back Pontiac in a refreshing muscle style to compete in the 2 door market it outdo the Camaro in sales. GM has the Corvette at least let (Pontiac), Chevy, Oldsmobile and Buick all shine like the glory days.
I enjoyed the video. I was cool to see the car evolve, and the bonding experience that you and your dad had is immeasurable. I never was a fan of the third gens, as I have a 2nd and 4th gen.... but you have a very cool car and I hope you're still enjoying it.
Thank you for watching, we appreciate it. I do still have the car and I'm in the process of building another small block for it. It was sidelined for a bit while I built my GTO, but I'm getting back to it now.
This turned out absolutely stunning. The sound is music to my ears. I have an 87 TA in dark blue and she's the Christine to my Arnie Cunningham. Only thing I have to fix is that friggin hatch motor. Why they chose plastic housing for something that some people accidentally slam shut is beyond me.
This is pretty slick dude! I had an 83' but changed the front over to this style after a little crash in the front. There's 2 vids of it from a 1996 VHS in my Cars playlist, one with a 69 Charger RT/SE at the races and another doing burnouts with a 70 Challenger
great job dad i hope jordan understands that he is a very fortunate sonto have a dad who does these kinds of things with him there isnt going to be much jordan doesnt know how to do on cars i really enjoy you guys videos its nice to know that there is still some guys out there showing thier kids how to be men
You and your dad did a wonderful job on the TA. Glad to see your staying with your TA. Awesome car! Would like to see you put some DRs on it and see what she would do at the track. She sounds really healthy I know she would run strong at the track. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you for taking a look. We have some more recent videos on our channel, if you want to check them out. It has 275/60 drag radials on it now and we've run it down the eighth mile a few times. There is a playlist of all the Trans Am videos on our channel.
Very very nice fellas. Jordan if you can't stop putting effort and money in it... Just tell Dad your doing it for him. He seems like the fella who would truly understand. There from day 1. Wish I had a dad for so many reasons. Guys you make an awesome team. Enjoy.
kids grown up .. goos job guys .. cant believe you dont have these front lights motors there in usa ... i did fix mine in kuwait i install new interuor parts inside the motors and they works perfect so far .. or you guys can use the corvette motors if could be .... good luck
Ahh i know your gonna think im crazy but i miss IL, im born and raised in Canton , moved to FL in 04 and miss the hell out of the seasons, this car is badass, i watched the entire video, you guys are awsome.
I’m just seeing this vid now but just wanted to say that is one of the most best restorations and upgraded car I’ve ever seen good job to you guys and hope you do even more. Wondering if you guys have put it on a dunk yet
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! Jordan is currently building a '68 Pontiac GTO as well. We had the Trans Am out for little bit today too. Here's a quick video of a couple of burnouts: th-cam.com/video/k6CJUAOMp6o/w-d-xo.html
My favorite trans am is from 84/89. Also there’s a guy around my block who has an 89 trans am but it’s been sitting there for a long time. I hope in a few years when I’m 16 17 years olds I’m thinking about buying it
Hey guys I love your build and I have a 87 Firebird Formula 305 and looking to swap to a better engine like yours. Do you have a video going over what engine you have o do you have a list of the mods and tunes you have done? Thank you - Eric
Really enjoyed your vid. I thought it would be shit and soon as I saw the car I had low expectations but you guy turned that firebird into one pretty hot car. I just got home today from a big cruise in my noisy V8 Holden and had a big headache from the noise and could not wait to put it away but after watching you guys I wanna get my car out tomorrow
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! Here's a more recent clip of the Trans am at the dragstrip, if you haven't seen it: th-cam.com/video/-ZosJ3r84to/w-d-xo.html
This truly inspires me. I own a trans am gta year modell 88. Stock engine but gearbox is newly upgraded. My plan for the engine is to go up in size and 383. And take off tpi and install efi instead.... Your video did get me ideas what to do...
My son is 5 now but your vidio shows my plan . I wanted maybe a 77-78 ta or maybe a 77 camaro or an 82 - 91 T.A. with the 82 and up trans ams being as light as they are and prices being what they are i figured what yall are doing is the plan. You guys started with a pretty decent starting point! I'm hoping for an Ls but we'll see!
My twin had three 2nd gen's! One had a stroker 406,(79 z-28 was a show car & one hell of a runner!) also, a 78 trans am 455HD W/ new top end, cam, heads, headers, custom 2 toned paint scheme, system, power everything! also a 77 firebird q/301.
Great job fellows !!! Back in 89 had a87 with a 5-speed and ws suspension. Wasn't very fast by today's standards by back then awas pretty fast car and a chic mobile !!!
Here is the car at the track more recently. Thanks for watching everybody, we appreciate it: th-cam.com/video/-ZosJ3r84to/w-d-xo.html

Where did you get your paint from? Thanks!
HI, love the work, love the car, do you have a build summary? I have a 86 that I put a lot of work into but has been parked and undercovers for the last two years. I am ready to get back into it.
At 4:00
What kind of shifter is that and how do I install that on my automatic Trans Am?
Awesome video guys , my dad bought me a 75 camaro back in 85 , we spent 7 months rebuilding the car from ground up , we put an 83 corvette motor in it and I took it to Camp Bowie and raced it every weekend , I won 34 races with it , cherish the time with your dad , my dad passed away August of 2022 from cancer , I wish I still had that car and my dad !!
You guys are lucky to have all those back roads to run on with no other traffic on them.
It really is nice living out here in the country. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

Thank you very much, we appreciate you watching the project along the way.
Started the video he looked like a kid, end of the video he looked exactly like his dad from the beginning. Should have kept my 89.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Most people just say they’ll put this kind of time into a car when they first buy it. Y’all did it. Well done fellas!

700r4 transmissions are weak,just sayin,with that engine,it needs a turbo 400
Hope my son and I can do the same some time, hes 9 months right now : )
Yeah, I guess you have a little while to wait :) Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

That Trans Am is a great car, Jordan has done awesome work on it:)
Thank you Don, we appreciate that!
I had the same wheels on my midnight blue 87 350. Loved riding around at 149. Amazing accomplishment, that’s what Muricas about.
I did the same with my dad, mine was an 86. We couldn't do all the back road stuff you guys do because the cops here kinda don't like it. But a hell of a journey! I look forward to how it proceeds.
87 trans am 305 TPI was my first car miss that dang thing great vids have me remembering my younger years thanks a lot keep up the great work and vids
Glad it brought back some good memories. Thanks for watching!

I would do anything to have gotten to do this with my dad or a buddy. Someday!
If you have a car you love never let a sibling use it, I had an 85' loved it, had plans and parts waiting, let my brother use it, in 6 months it was in the junk yard.
My brother used my '82 Firebird one night and crashed it. Never the same after that. Kept it in storage for years. Had to get rid of it for scrap.
I just bought a 85 love it
Yeah, I did watch the whole video, and the Trans Am has came a long way. The 80's was a bad decade for US cars, but a few good ones were built. Of course that last run sure was a lot faster than the old 305. Enjoyed the memories, and hope you both have a Merry Christmas !!
I don't think I've even watched the whole thing yet :) Thank you my friend, hope you have a Merry Christmas too!
nobody will ever be able to complain about how it runs !!! great job!!!!
Thank you, we appreciate that!
That car is close to the 85 Trans Am I used to have and that car you have it's transformation is badass! That thing eats bro!
This video was awesome to watch, and it truly made me smile. Seeing a father-son project on one of my favorite cars was a real treat for me. God bless you both !
Cool fast car with a cool journey!!
Thank you, we appreciate you watching!

Awesome to see the progress on the Trans Am. That thing sounds nasty 👍🏻 lots of time and effort went into this car and it shows great work
Just found this video and I love it! This build is what it’s all about. The ups and downs is what hot rodding is all about. Really cool to see the evolution of the car and to see how much more power you were running by the end. Awesome!
Again super nice job I hope you put a 4 or 5 speed manual on it it would be real bad ass
love using this video as a reference
Your a great dad!
I was very impressed how the car became more powerful with all the additions you did. Great video and job👍👌💪

Ahh i know your gonna think im crazy but i miss IL, im born and raised in Canton , moved to FL in 04 and miss the hell out of the seasons, this car is badass, i watched the entire video, you guys are awsome.
Whoever installed the new transmission HAD THE BEST APPROACH! Amazon video though. Can't wait to do this with my son
B&M Mega shifter! I had that exact shifter in my 79 Z28 Cool car!
Awesome father and son project!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Bad ass car! My daily is a 89 trans am 305.
Thanks man, we appreciate it! That's cool that you have an '89.
same here , same year and everything
305 is such a boat anchor. I gave mine away when I built my 355.
Just get a repair kit from Hawks for your headlight motors - easy and cheap fix
I’m just seeing this vid now but just wanted to say that is one of the most best restorations and upgraded car I’ve ever seen good job to you guys and hope you do even more. Wondering if you guys have put it on a dunk yet
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! Jordan is currently building a '68 Pontiac GTO as well. We had the Trans Am out for little bit today too. Here's a quick video of a couple of burnouts: th-cam.com/video/k6CJUAOMp6o/w-d-xo.html
You guy's are an inspiration! Appreciate the content! Keep it up! Justin.E Columbus OH
Thanks Justin, we appreciate that!
3rd motor sounds much more righteous then the 2nd one. I was A bit disappoint in the 2nd 1 the 3rd one made up for it sounds great
My favorite trans am is from 84/89.
Also there’s a guy around my block who has an 89 trans am but it’s been sitting there for a long time. I hope in a few years when I’m 16 17 years olds I’m thinking about buying it
I love watching people reseruct these old monsters. I find myself watching these videos more than i do regular tv. Love this.
Hey guys I love your build and I have a 87 Firebird Formula 305 and looking to swap to a better engine like yours. Do you have a video going over what engine you have o do you have a list of the mods and tunes you have done? Thank you - Eric
Really enjoyed your vid. I thought it would be shit and soon as I saw the car I had low expectations but you guy turned that firebird into one pretty hot car. I just got home today from a big cruise in my noisy V8 Holden and had a big headache from the noise and could not wait to put it away but after watching you guys I wanna get my car out tomorrow
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! Here's a more recent clip of the Trans am at the dragstrip, if you haven't seen it: th-cam.com/video/-ZosJ3r84to/w-d-xo.html
Jesus Christ this cat made a beast. Always did like the 80s Trans Am.
Makes me remember all the wrench turning I did on my 78 T/A. Now my trans am is most likely 1 of the baddest Trans am in the world.
This truly inspires me. I own a trans am gta year modell 88. Stock engine but gearbox is newly upgraded. My plan for the engine is to go up in size and 383. And take off tpi and install efi instead.... Your video did get me ideas what to do...
You know your cars bad ass when its fast enough to suck your windows out
This is an awesome video. I hope to one day do this with my son. Thank you for sharing.
My son is 5 now but your vidio shows my plan . I wanted maybe a 77-78 ta or maybe a 77 camaro or an 82 - 91 T.A. with the 82 and up trans ams being as light as they are and prices being what they are i figured what yall are doing is the plan. You guys started with a pretty decent starting point! I'm hoping for an Ls but we'll see!
My twin had three 2nd gen's! One had a stroker 406,(79 z-28 was a show car & one hell of a runner!) also, a 78 trans am 455HD W/ new top end, cam, heads, headers, custom 2 toned paint scheme, system, power everything! also a 77 firebird q/301.
I always miss my 3rd Gen T/A and Camaro...
IVE JUST FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THAT CAR
Great job fellows !!! Back in 89 had a87 with a 5-speed and ws suspension. Wasn't very fast by today's standards by back then awas pretty fast car and a chic mobile !!!
