Title: Plan to Restore This Turbo Trans Am Goes Perfectly
Post by: Mumbles on March 04, 2021, 03:31:00 PM: I've mentioned in the past that I have a soft spot for the '80 and '81 Turbo cars.

Post by: TATurbo on March 08, 2021, 07:15:20 PM: Thanks, everyone! I was stoked when I happened across this article. I had written and sent info to Hot Rod earlier this winter but didn't hear anything back. I just happened to go to HotRod.com the night it was posted...Checking out an article on the GM 8.5" 10" Rear end. When I got to the bottom of that tech article there was a pic of MY TA at the bottom of the page! It's 'just' a 'Readers Rides' write-up but still! My car is in HOTROD[.com]! LOL.

I appreciate the kind words, Thank you.

-Tom
