10th Anniversary Trans Am by Opher Auto Wurx

On 02.23.11, In Custom Work, By Opher Auto Wurx

After sitting outside for nearly 20 years, this 1979 Pontiac 10th Anniversary Trans Am received a fairly extensive restoration when it was discovered by its current owner.

Sheet metal replacement consisted of a  driver-side door skin, driver-side door shell repair, a passenger-side quarter panel skin, and rear body panel repair.  The bumpers and flares were repaired as well.  All the body work was completed and the car was  primed and blocked several times, to assure the body was straight.  The  car was repainted in its original two-tone color scheme and received an original style graphics kit.

Transtar products were used throughout the  job due to their user friendliness.  The Transtar products used on this  project consisted of epoxy primer, Euro Classic Primer, Hydro Flex Waterborne Primer, No Mix Low VOC Basecoat,  Euro Kwik Clear, SCAT Wax and Grease Remover, Urethane Grade  Reducer, Kwik Seal 2k Urethane Sealer, Transtar Seam Sealer, and the complete  Transtar Ultimate Finish System compounds and glazes.  The results speak for themselves.
