Ok, i had to make a new account because my old one wont work anymore, some may of heard me talking about making the smokey and the bandit grifter well i finnaly decided to go for it.
The bike is very rusty and many parts are damaged.
Its going to be stripped to bare metal to get rid of all the rust and painted gloss black with gold mudguards, bars and many gold parts and i may be shot blasting the rims,painting and rebuilding with gold forged spokes, then there will be some custom decals made for it.

I have also joined www.78TA.com to get suggestions and advice on this build from real Trans Am Owners in the U.S.A and learn more about the Trans Am.



Tune in next time for more updates

  OH YEAH!    

think this must be one of the most exciting kustom ideas - will definately be awaiting more pics for this one!

Thanks dude, i shall have more update pics for you tomorow night (Tuesday)

excellent! - could have done with that picture of the trans am on my bedroom wall when i was a lad!  

I had this poster on my wall

Don't go off topic please.

I will have updates soon as i did not have a chance to take pictures tonight.

Not sure Blondie is off topic!! She was at her best in 78, in my humble opinion, perhaps like the Trans-Am??

That summer (1978), the band worked with producer Mike Chapman to hone their radio sound and create the album Parallel Lines, with the single "Picture This" going #12 in the U.K. and the follow-up, "Hanging on the Telephone," hitting #5. Blondie had their first #1 record in the U.S. with "Heart of Glass," which also sold over a million copies in the U.K., with the album moving more than 20 million copies worldwide. The fourth single from Parallel Lines, "Sunday Girl," also hit #1 in the U.K.

Looking forward to seeing the bike progress.

still waiting for new pics....

I'm so arkwerd, some guy on here restored a grifter the same as mine and put a book and a spanner on the handlebars and ebayed it for £400 so i decided to restore mine instead now, not for money but since i am keeping all my bikes for the future a custom will be seriously devalued.......ive made quite a big of progress since last pics here but i suppose im going to have to make a restoration topic now :P
