This Trans Am came from
the Van Nuys plant, in California , as a Chesterfield
Brown Hardtop coupe. At the dealership it was converted to a Cars
& Concepts t-top car with a sawz-all and some self
tapping screws. C & C gaskets and tops are hard to
replace, so Chris is having the top converted to a Fisher T-top. |
 |
| It was also originally
a Olds 403 car, which makes it more unusual for '78. But that's
just the way Pontiac, and the dealership built it, the car belongs to
Chris now and he plans to replace the engine with a Poncho 455. |
 |
The Cars & Concepts roof was cut off
and replaced with a Fisher top from a Gold '79. |

The bottom edge of the replacement roof was measured
and cut. The two edges were stitch welded together, then a narrow
strip of sheet metal was welded into the gap originally filled with
body filler. Later the surface was ground down to match the
contour of the B-pillar. |
