    The only thing wrong with it IMO is the stearing wheel, althought it'a a pontiac wheel it should be the stock one.

    I don't mind the Trans Am steering wheel, except it should be beige.......
    They are cool wheels.

    I guess thats the point I was trying to make....it's Pontiac but it's the wrong colour. At least it's not a stearing wheel like in the "Oh The Horrors" tread,,:slap:

    i think in 71 the t/a wheels were all black.....not into the mid 70's they were diff colors. i would say that's right, just paint the rest of the column black.

    AWESOME WAGON!!!!!!!!!!

    So much detailing.... I would have tried to end the resto as close as I could get to original.....loosing the steering wheel, the intake etc

    A hood tach??? Was that an option?
