You guys are like little boys playing with toys and just having a blast. The tire definition of a good father-son relationship. I wish I got to hang out with my dad like this.
Great car to resto. Really good platform to go with. I had a 79 Pontiac Grand Prix that had the 305 and I absolutely loved that motor. Then went on to restore a 69 Chevy short wheel fleet side threw a 327 off in it that was my Hoss! And each one I did with my dad and loved every minute of it great seeing y’all do this together, God Bless and stay safe.
Scott, I'm Scott and I I'm 65 years old.... I would give anything in the world to work on a project car with my dad again. You're both lucky... I'm going to be following you and your dad with a tear in my eye. God bless you Scott
I just purchased a 1985 Firebird. I love the looks of these 3rd gen cars. Especially the Firebirds and Trans Am. I'm looking forward to following this one and getting some inspiration for my own project
I’m so excited about this build!!!! I had one identical to this when I was in high school! It was so funny that as you were showing it and opened the door I was thinking to myself about the smell that my car had! Oh the memories!
OH MAN!!! IT'S KIT FROM KNIGHT RIDER!!! I was OBSESSED with Knight Rider when I was a kid. I had all the toys. My 3 rd car was the 91' IROC Z CONVERABLE, it's brother. A blue one. It would move STOCK, but I put a little grrrr under the hood. I loved that car more than any car I've owned. I always wanted a knight-rider Trans AM.
I got one 10 years ago when I was 15 I fixed it up really good I put a 8 extension on it and a hell cat exhaust so if your wondering it still makes the same. Sound
Awesome car! Belongs in the list of movie cars that I like! Like the Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit), DeLorean (Back to the Future), Dodge Charger (Dukes of Hazard)
SCOTTS, YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS!!! My first car was a 1986 Pontiac Trans Am with that same 5.0 liter (305) V8 and 4-barrel carburetor! T-tops, white, black wing. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PROJECT!!!
That is unbelievable to find that car in that shape it's perfect plus everything stock is just unbelievable also and the miles on it wow u got one heck of a find there can't wait to see it done
I love restorations. Ive had the amazing opportunity to restore a few cars in a private collection, 71 Corvette Stingray, 72 Nova, many many Packards, forgot the year Ford Woody with original wood and a Cobra Kit Car.
I have always loved Trans Am and Firebirds. The t-tops are the best. I'm glad you're going to have fun and not blow it up! Your Dad has good vision, it will be beautiful.
Awesome guys!!! Lookin forward to seeing the process! I have a 86 Camaro that I need to do the same to! Motor is built and in the car just need to finish interior and paint.
Pretty cool you all are doing a 3rd gen. The seats are cool with the color they are. Similar look to a lot of Buick Grand Nationals I've seen. Good luck guys.
Love the idea! Maybe do a couple things to help it breathe better and whatnot like intake/ exhaust, better fuel delivery things like that.... heck maybe make it bad ass and super charge it! Either way you got a sweet idea and I’ll be watching!
I think your going to have a cool little project car. These cars are starting to go up in value. In a few years they are going to be worth a good amount especially a nice clean survivor like you got there.
These videos have helped me through my grandmother's passing it's been rough for me thank you so much for the amazing content scott keep up the good work, I'd like to see some Corvette or some mustang stuff if you do more sports and muscle cars
Awesome stuff guys!!! As a guy that frequently daily’s a beautiful original 89 corvette, I can’t wait to see this one come back to life. It has tons of potential.The 80s cars were not bad at all for their time and make great fun drivers today! Good luck on the build and great job as always!
@@justinweaver8787 Thank you Sir! They are just such fun cars it would almost be a crime not to. Its perfect for it really , great power to weight, good gas mileage, low maintenance, they’re really hard to beat! Only downside is only 2 seats but that’s fine by me😀
@KentuckyKustoms sweet ride bros!!!! be nice to watch the build off for reals! thanks for the vids dudes! :) alll 80's models had the paint oxidation and NO DASH CRACK OMG!!!!
Hell yeah man I'm glad you opened up this channel. Seriously consider signing the RPM act it's the easiest thing in the world it takes 2 seconds to do. It will help preserve and fight for our rights to keep these cars legal, not sure if you know but the EPA is trying to ban any kind of aftermarket parts for cars like these. So make sure you sign the RPM act by sema!
I've always wanted to make my own K.I.T.T. but honestly the bandit look is going to be sweet on this. The 305 doesn't get that much love because of the 350 being so easy to get ahold of, but you can turn that into a great engine with a bit of work
Here in Massachusetts it's impossible to find your dream car without rust, bruh I just want a miata, I don't even care about the motor, I'll end up Honda swapping it to be more reliable and moddable for the future
@@zacharytribou2728 My man I live in Jersey, I know the struggle haha. I have a 91 5.0 Fox Body thats built for the strip. Unless it goes for a cruise or whatever, it will stay a garage queen exactly for this reason lol.
AWESOME PROJECT! I have an 85 Z28 with 93LT1, 94/95 4L60E, 01 SS Rear Diff, Aluminum Driveshaft, prostar K&N, 4th gen seats, 4th gen fuel tank, lots of other stock-alike upgrades. Whole car was stripped down to nothing but the interior because it was in great shape and it's not easy to find that in 3rd gen F-bodies, especially firebirds because the interior and styling of those cars was more specific and also generally more complex. It's my 3rd 3rd gen camaro, the end result of years of planning testing and research and easily my favorite car ever. I know just about everything there is to know about them and even went through the work of completely rewiring mine I recently decided that my next project was going to be a firebird of the same years and seeing another KY resident who loves these cars like I do is a very special feeling lol. Good luck and greetings from Lou'ville! If you ever need a hand or obscure question let me know!
Dude I have to state the obvious. Scott Sr. Looks like Arnold man!! Dudes got tree trunk biceps!! Lol Keep up the awesome work guys!! Your channels, both, are awesome!! Great vibes always.
You already have a Smokey & The Bandit era one. Turn this one into KITT! Keep it! Then you’ll have a version of an iconic Trans Am from the 2nd and 3rd Gen. Also…maybe an LS swap. Love Trans Ams. I had a black 4th Gen.
@Marko True, to do a true KITT replica would be a lot of work. I probably should’ve clarified what I had in mind too - I was thinking do an exterior only KITT. As awesome as it would be to take it all the way, the interior would be really involved to replicate. Plus, the interior in this car is in such good shape anyway. The exterior shouldn’t be too terribly much work (compared to what they’ve done before). Especially just to do a casual replica. Heck, I’d even settle for them just blacking out the taillights and adding the red light bar to the front. 😂
As soon as you opened the hood, it made me want to play Car Mechanic Simulator 2021, also I never knew how jacked your dad is, I definitely have to start working out lol
I've been watching Kentucky ballistics for awhile now, I came across this channel a few months ago you have something great going here with both channels especially with your dad incorporated into Kentucky customs i really enjoy both of your channels and look forward to every new one that comes out, glad you are doing better and fully recovered.
My dream car is the 1977 black special edition. I actually bought a brand new black 1996 TA. It reminded me of the Batmobile. And before that I bought a used 1978 Firebird. The guy I bought it from had the engine all over his front yard lol. But the K. I. T. T generation of TAs were really gr8. Gr8 vid as usual. 🚗🇺🇸
What do you think about the new car??? We hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Kitt from knight rider 😳
Its cool, for a chev product, I think a tweaked aspen r/t would be more cool though.
Dooooood!
Mount a couple mini guns etc and make it a mad max car.
My First car was a 86 TA now 25yrs later on my forth TA. Love those F bodies. Have a good one
Anyone else getting Knight Rider vibes? Man I just aged myself!! What a gem you have there!!
Scott, it’s really great seeing a father son relationship like this. Y’all make such great content together please keep it up
They look more like brothers, tho!
damn!... i like it as is... this car has lived a garage life
That TA is in unbelievable shape!
Awesome! Great project car! Love those F bodies, Camaros and Firebirds!
I had an 86 Camaro back in high school, it’s so cool to see people starting to rebuild these
Now that's some serious business! Good luck restoring this beauty!
Scott you are blessed to have such a cool dad.
👍🏻👍🏻 Makes me want to buy a 94 firebird for my girl and surprise her with it because that’s what she had back in the day.
Graduated in '77. Me and dirt! God Bless and stay safe.
You guys are like little boys playing with toys and just having a blast. The tire definition of a good father-son relationship. I wish I got to hang out with my dad like this.
Scott the 30 caliber and Scott the 06 you two got this!
Love it! My first car was a black ‘83 trans am. Great memories!

The 3erd gen firebirds and camaros are some of the best looking car ever made imo!
Really enjoying the Kentucky Kustoms videos lately! Thank you
Scott, I'm Scott and I I'm 65 years old.... I would give anything in the world to work on a project car with my dad again. You're both lucky... I'm going to be following you and your dad with a tear in my eye. God bless you Scott

Really glad to see you’re doing a Trans Am project. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
70s-80s Trans Ams are some of the best looking Pontiac cars that I would love to own
I'm a 70s kid and I think its a great idea and throw back.
I’m so excited about this build!!!! I had one identical to this when I was in high school! It was so funny that as you were showing it and opened the door I was thinking to myself about the smell that my car had! Oh the memories!
I love it! I currently have a 1994 Trans Am that my son will eventually inherit.
I really love the fire bird, I can't wait till it's done
Can't wait to see how you do the work, it's great seeing father and son working together!

Y’all really need to make a tumbbulance that would be awesome keep up the good content in the good ole state of Kentucky
A ‘91 Firebird was my first car also. It had T-tops too. Awesome!
Whatever you do, I bet you two will do right by this beaut. Go Scotts!
1986 is my birth year!!! 💪 Yes!
KEEP THE CAR
I had a '68 Firebird. Loved it, miss it.
This is interesting, gonna watch soon at work now. I'm also in Kentucky and restoring a 71 Nova, I love these trans am's.
That is a SWEET car, dude
Hell yeah. Favorite car ever made!
I daily a 92 with cam and alum heads!
Nice car to start with
Can't wait to see it to fruition
Cool Car. Cool dad Son relationship. And no need to put any thumbs innit.
I am excited to see what the finished product looks like - love the 79, 77 is my DREAM car for sure!! Really enjoying the channel!
That's a Big 10-4 on the 77' Good buddy
That is unbelievable to find that car in that shape it's perfect plus everything stock is just unbelievable also and the miles on it wow u got one heck of a find there can't wait to see it done
Classic industries!!!! they have the majority of parts needed for this
Your dad reminds me of my step dad. He buys some of the most awesome stuff and sells it months later.
I love restorations. Ive had the amazing opportunity to restore a few cars in a private collection, 71 Corvette Stingray, 72 Nova, many many Packards, forgot the year Ford Woody with original wood and a Cobra Kit Car.

Awesome guys!!! Lookin forward to seeing the process! I have a 86 Camaro that I need to do the same to! Motor is built and in the car just need to finish interior and paint.
This is gonna be a wicked project
I had an 88 TA many years ago. They're fun for sure.
Cool build, guys. Can't wait to see the finished product. My first car was a charcoal grey '83 Firebird with a 305.
I just bought a 1986 Firebird SE that I'm restoring / converting to a Trans Am. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Awesome car. I'm pumped for the restoration!
Good looking old car , surviver , dude big Scott s arms are huge , y'all getting it in down there , can't wait to see it s restoration
Had one just like this one 20 years ago. Can't wait for this build!!! Gonna be amazing!!!!
Yup
Absolutely love the 80 style trans ams actually I like all of them lol
Awesome! I remember when these came out, I wanted one so bad.
Pretty cool you all are doing a 3rd gen. The seats are cool with the color they are. Similar look to a lot of Buick Grand Nationals I've seen. Good luck guys.
Awesome! It really isn't in that bad of shape overall. Even so, I know you guys will do an excellent job restoring it.
Love the plan you guys have for the trans am. I do think your next project should be the Kentucky Kustoms version over a mad max car
I'm excited to see what you guys do for this one! ! ! !
I love this channel you guys are so much fun to watch.
Love the idea! Maybe do a couple things to help it breathe better and whatnot like intake/ exhaust, better fuel delivery things like that.... heck maybe make it bad ass and super charge it! Either way you got a sweet idea and I’ll be watching!

Kentucky kustoms that's awesome I just recently got my hands on a trans am ms6 1996 model and they do ride and run so nice
Sweet!!! Excited for this one too...

Looking to forward to this project!
HOLY C R A P!! IS THAT KITT??? KNIGHT/RIDER???? SOOO COOL!!!
I’m in Kentucky as well . Just now seeing the video I got a 88 firebird 2.8 v6 automatic

I'm with the KITT cam, do a KITT! And then put on a nice The Hoff attire (and yes you will need a wig!), PERFECT!

Can't wait to see it done!
Love the car had one love it had lost of fun with can't wait to see it 👍👍👍
hey it looks like the knight rider car cool video PS you have good dad it seems
You could do what nobody had done before put a Pontiac 400
With EFI and manual transmission Don't forget Hurst shifter 😎👍
Awesome car can't wait to see how it turns out
You already have a Smokey & The Bandit era one. Turn this one into KITT! Keep it! Then you’ll have a version of an iconic Trans Am from the 2nd and 3rd Gen. Also…maybe an LS swap.

Smokey and bandit 3 had that style trans am in it
@@daleskelton8963 True. But it didn’t have the Special Edition graphics. 😂 And Part 3 is the one that is best forgotten.

My brother had one, I've thought about getting one, these are fun
I would love to build a car with my old man. Jelly!! 🤘
