1933 Plymouth prowls the streets of Pennsylvania

This 1933 Plymouth belongs to Norman S. of Port Allegany, PA.
Norm had spent years building this dream car from the ground
up......creating a beautiful street rod out of a basket case. When
the time came to apply a finish that was as nice as the car, Norm
contacted us. This masterpiece now reflects the pride that Norm
takes in the time and effort he put into his car.....and we are
honored to be able to say we helped him achieve his goal. Watch
for this one on the road or at a show near you!

Making more dreams come true..........
In the summer of 2009 Jim N. from Wilcox, PA came to Transformation Restorations
with a beautiful, show winning 1979  Pontiac Trans Am. Jim and his wife both loved
the car and enjoyed it to the fullest.....but there was one thing missing......T-TOPS!
As beautiful as the car was, nothing compares to driving in a classic Trans Am with
the t-tops out and the wind in your hair, and Jim knew this, so when it came time to
have somebody perform drastic surgery on his baby......he chose Transformation
Restorations.

Replacing a roof on a classic Trans Am is a challenging task. These cars
are unibody construction, so the roof is an integral part of the structure and
strength of the entire car. You must possess the right equipment and the skills
required to even attempt to do a job like this. It's hard enough to change just
a hardtop roof......but going from a hardtop to a t-top roof is even MORE
difficult. Everything must fit perfectly.......... down to the millimeter.

"You can't even tell where it was done. This is a beautiful job!"
That's what Jim said the day he came to pick up his newly transformed Trans Am.
He knew his car was a show winning car before, and he expected it to remain that
way. The only difference is now he can drive and enjoy his car even more now that
it's the way he always wanted it to be. "People look it all over and they can't tell
where the work was done. They just think it came that way. It looks factory. You did
a great job on it."  ---Jim N.  Wilcox, PA

Introducing the latest show-winning restoration from Transformation
Restorations. This is Adam B. and family's 1979 Pontiac Trans Am
from the great state of Kansas........

Adam brought his 1979 Pontiac Trans Am to us in running condition, but the car had certainly seen better days. Years of use and misuse by previous owners had taken it's toll on this once proud Pontiac. We tore the entire car down to a bare shell and carefully resurrected it, piece by piece, nut by nut, bolt by bolt......until it roared to life again like the Phoenix rising out of it's long, black, beautiful hood.

This car was completely restored by Transformation Restorations, and it shows. If you happen to see Adam at a car show or on the road, make sure to say hello and hope you don't have to compete against him.....because from the mirror-like paint to the smooth rumble of it's engine.....this Trans Am is now ready to enjoy for another 30 years and beyond. Thanks to Adam and his family for allowing us to build his dream car.

Introducing one of the latest members of the Transformation Restorations family.......John and Jan from Odenton, MD and their beautiful 1975 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am!
John and Jan contacted Transformation Restorations and wanted us to come to Maryland and check out their 1975 Trans Am. We went down and found the car in decent condition.....but like many old Pontiacs, it had seen better days. Although it still ran and drove well, the body and interior were showing major wear. The old acrylic enamel silver paint was literally falling off in some spots, and the interior was suffering the wear and tear from 34 years of use.  It was time to bring this Firebird back to life! We decided upon a full restification of the body, paint and interior.

After disassembling the entire car down to a rolling shell, we stripped the entire body down to bare metal and started from scratch. There were lots of dents and rust to take care of, but we soon had the entire body smooth and solid again. The car now sports a full, state of the art, DuPont urethane basecoat/clearcoat paint job, which will last forever if properly maintained. Silver is by far the most difficult color there is to paint because of the metalflake content......but once again the DuPont Chromasystem showed why it is the choice of the true professional because the paint on this car is stunning. The interior is beautiful and actually even smells like new again. This car is going to turn some heads.

John is an aviation enthusiast, so when we decided to do the photo shoot on this car, we took it to a local air strip and took pictures of the car right on the runway. It was a beautiful April day and no planes were coming in......so we got some nice photos. Keep your eyes peeled in the Baltimore area, because John and Jan plan to enjoy their Trans Am once again.....and you might just have to compete with them at a car show or two! If you see them out and about, make sure to say "hello".
