Hello everyone,  I'm Claudia and i was looking for technical information aboud how loud my car is to suppose to be original from the manufacturer.  When i bumped into this site, and well...why not?

I have a Pontiac TransAm '86, yes i know the Knightrider,  but.... no,.. this is his brother. 17 years by now, rebuild it and learned mostly all the time out of a book, because some people advise to buy another car to see what went wrong, or another ridiculous advise.  Repainted, twice. First by a painter, second time, what he did i can do that too.... 

Old 5.0 engine out, and overhauled 5.7 back, also did it by myself. But it have a longer story to tell some day, a beautiful one, about friendship. 

I'm a airbrush artist, a welder, learning to tattoo,  and a mechanic.  Mostly because of my TransAm!  Btw, my husband too, but that is another funny story.

Nice to meet you.

Simply amazing.  Beautiful TA.  Welcome to the site. Lots of knowledge from here to try and help with problems. Hope you chat it up with us in the forums as well.

Welcome to FP and the Pontiac madness that surrounds us. I also own an '86 Trans Am, I'm the original owner. I also have experience in airbrushing. Sadly I lost my garage to do it in about 12-15 years ago. I am just now getting to the point where I can think about airbrushing again. I really like your Phoenix and the true flame you used.

Hello Frosty, thank you for your reply.  Original owner? You're 58? If you have the equipment,  you should do it!

Beautiful Trans Am! Glad to hear you treasure and building it

I want to get back into it. Now that I have a garage, I need to figure out a way to manage the fumes/ventilation and manage the over spray without getting it all over the garage and my cars. Once I have that rigged up, I want to get back into it. I have the compressor, my Awata airbrush. I also need to go through my paints. They've sat on the shelf for a long, long time. I will have to assess what needs to be pitched and start over.
