UNTOUCHED FOR 14 YEARS! Big Detail Number One in the USA - We revive this Firebird Trans Am WS6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- For our first big detail at Auto Finesse USA, we found a true American muscle car - the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. In a former life, this car was being built for drag racing at TX2K. But, the project was halted and it was put in storage, uncovered, for nearly the last 15 years.
Our friend Autrey at BMP Tuning bought this storage unit sight unseen, and immediately called us up for some help. One trailer and almost 900 miles later, it arrived at AF USA in Knoxville where the real fun began. More than a decade of dirt, grime and who knows what else, and we made it shine like never before. The final touch for this project was the brand new American Racing wheels, the perfect fitment for this custom metal widebody kit.
Alongside our team from Knox Auto Spa, we spent 4 days reviving this WS6 from trashed to trophy - bringing out a level of gloss on the paint that exceeded our expectations. Watch the transformation for yourself and be sure to check out our website afterwards - each and every product we used on this detail is in stock and ready for shipment so YOU can achieve the same level of results at home.

Thanks for joining us on our first Big Detail - we can’t wait to see what you guys submit for the next one…

This is the first time I've seen a bird with a widebody rear panel, a leather based dash interior, and rear seat delete. Absolutely beautiful
I've always wondered what these cars would look like with a leather covered dash. I like it. Though the stitching on his could be way better.
I’d love to know more about the dash. I have my instrument cowl covered in leather that was stitched up by Redline Leather Goods and I installed myself but they don’t offer the full dash cover which these cars really deserve.
Wide body rear panel you mean some molded and Fender Flares that look really goofy
@@neilbrown82 Not gonna lie, personal reference wise it looks pretty cool especially with the wheel fitment as well. I’ve come to find some for the catfish Camaros just the not Firebirds :/
@@Bird_From_HellI’m thinking of making my own “wide body” since the previous owner of my T/A had cut the quarter panel for whatever reason
This WS6 may be the baddest-looking I've seen.
I still remember when these car first came out I was in high-school and thought it was the coolest looking car and it still looks cool today. But I think that engine needs just as much love as the paint
Idk the engines sounds pretty healthy to me. Could
Pro use a re-tune, seems like it has a pretty big cam.
its literally a fully built cammed and heads intake ls1 on nitrous stop talking out your ass that you know nothing about
This car is so sick!!!!! I dearly miss my 1989 triple black TA with the special ordered 5.7 (it wasn't the GTA model, just the GT with the 5.7 ordered). I loved it, never should've sold it! 🏁🏁🏁🏁
As the original owner of a 2002 Trans Am, I am stoked to see content like this for these cars. The market for them has be appreciating the past couple of years and a resurgence of interest in them and it’s always great to know there are new fans of the platform that is over 20 years gone.

Beautiful TA and a great job by your team. black cars are so hard to keep clean, but they look amazing when they are.
02 WS6 is one of my top 5 bucket list cars.
Man that ws6 is nice
We agree!
God F**King damn! This car is so beautiful. The lines, the vents and everything else about it just go so well. Literally has a better look than some of these newer cars. The wide body in the back give it such a crazy dimension to it.
Hell yeah such a CLASSIC and amazing car, I own a 07 Pontiac Solstice GXP and a 04 Pontiac GTO so glad people still love this brand and these cars! you guys did an outstanding job.
That’s awesome! Another late model Pontiac fan! I have a 2002 Trans Am (weekender) and a 2009 Solstice (daily) that I’ve had since new. I knew I had to have the last of the great Pontiacs. 😁
@@BanditJedi Yesss fellow solstice daily driver we love that! Pontiacs are real classic and amazing cars to own for real 🫶🏻
Still can't believe how this turned out!!!
This car used to be one of my dream cars back in the day.. still looking good..
Un-Freakin-Believable!!
Such a great finish. I was worn out just watching those guys “Wax On, Wax Off”. That’s a labor of love right there.
She is absolutely beautiful. I still want to own one of those so bad
Autrey from BMP tuning is an absolute awesome guy in the auto tuning industry!!! Met him years ago at Import Alliance 2011 and we have kept in touch since. So proud of him and his team. And welcome to the USA, Auto Finesse!!! You keep turning them out like this, and you will make yourselves a big name in the states. Amazing job!!!

You guys hit it out of the ball park. Second F-body I’ve seen with a wide body . Who in gods name does such beautiful work and where can I find them.🍺😎
Where can I find you guys to work on my 2000 F-body🤔🍺😎
I love 98 - 02 Firebirds. I've got a loaded, low mileage, garage queen 98 Y87 Firebird. The guy I bought it from had it since 2001 and kept it in a climate controlled garage all those years. The chrome rims and leather interior are 10/10 the paint is 9/10 due to a little bit of road rash on the front bumper and ground effects. When I picked it up from him he said, "I washed it for you and it hit me. I never washed this car since I owned it." 21 years never washed...I believe it as there's zero swirl marks anywhere on the body. I will say though. I'm really starting to wonder if 4th gen Firebirds really don't like to get wet. I wonder if that's possibly where some of their issues start.
Nice video.
The cowl leaks water onto the intake..the door seals leak water into the front floorboards. Gotta park with front end higher so the hatch seals dont leak..still love them.
@@Summonredhellspites I love them too. I just wanted mine a few days ago and didn't let the side windows, rear taillights nor the cowl get wet. The hatch drains worked perfectly though.
What an awesome car, turned out great
I got a 98 trans am ws6 for 10kk in California with original 137k miles blue completely stock it belong to a 61 year old Mexican for 9 years and took care of it very well I am proud of that man who sold me my beautiful trans am

Great job! Wish yiu had more shots of interior work. Love these cars, though had cheap interiors, interested to see to see ideas on improvements.
The rusty bolt in the aftermarket fuel door… 😬. 😂 Great job guys!

Wow these f bodies look good! I can't believe what kind of head turners these things are over twenty years after production ended
Insaneee. I need a couple of those clay bars to decon my wagon.
Get 'em while they're hot! autofinesseusa.com/products/clay-bar-fine-200g?_pos=2&_sid=651d15742&_ss=r
Always wanted to make a drag car out of one of these
Rare to see one with rear flares and it turned out great with the new wheels. Side note what is up with dude with those black gloves all the time? lol
Final cost?
14:30 😮💨😮💨😮💨🔥🔥🔥
James walked that bih right out the parking lot 🔥 lets goooo 😁
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where was the dash wrapped at? Do you know…
Anyone know who does that Leather Dash Kit ? I need it in my baby.
The WS6 is iconic. I can't believe Pontiac is gone forever... 😭🤷♂️
Imagine Hours,Hours& ”HOURS” of Detailing this Beautiful Car… just to drive back out on to Dirty/Dusty Gravel… 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
The lust of car washing bro 💯 a fetish indeed 😂
Crazy how you only have a 100 subs
Any information on where you got those American Racing Wheels and Tires? I’ve got a 2000 Trans Am I like to put those on.
I need this for my 35th anniversary SS but i have no idea who can work on it with the 23 year old flag decals. They could flake off when buffing. 😢
Sad story behind what happened to the car before Autry got it from a storage unit auction. I would love to follow the car if Autry posts it anywhere online
Familiar with this car, it had a decent following on ls1tech years ago.
What does a detail job like this cost?
Oh that is not bad, looks like mine 2 days after I wax it..
Do you guys know what kind of seat are those and difusser
What size are those wheels? Like 18x10s?
You are already into the engine bay with that sprayer near the cowl..they all leak.
Seeing guys wearing beads, watches and hand jewelry while doing detail work on the paint. May want to remove that to avoid accidental damage
Why would you do all that and then drive it to a damn dirt parking lot!!!!
All that work and then u parked on gravel. LOLOL I wouldn’t have done that
Anybody know how much a detail like this would cost?
$2,500+
@@brandonmumford9409 wow
This car was off ls1 forum
Man, what body kit is on that that is sexy
Is it for sale? lol
You guys need a paved parking lot asap...
Who stores a car wit the windows down and t-tops off??
Fella's...sigh...This was a Military Service member's car. It still has the base stickers on the front left of the windshield.
Most likely a deceased soldier's Trans Am. We all put our stuff in storage and volunteered on deployments to come home and mod our cars. If we mod'ded our Trans Am like that (build motor/strange rear end/widebody etc.) NO WAY in hell would we leave it in storage unless we died. Reach out and find the prior owner/family. Maybe offering the family a buyback would be a good idea of the next video also? Awesome detail though.
BMP Tuning made contact with the original owner after the vehicle was purchased at the storage unit auction! Had some awesome conversations along the way as we completed the Big Detail. He helped us greatly in clarifying some of the details of his build so that we could best tackle the job inside and out.
Damn you fantasized a whole story based on a sticker.
A detail is not a restore
God those fender flairs 🤮
!!
Order new tires… 🙄
😂😂😂staged
it looks so good 🥹 I can't wait to see it!
I have a black 2002 ls1
🔥🔥🔥
