Watched American Choppers last night. Have already seen pics of the cars (courtesy of DTB). Thought they did a good job of promoting TAD, but wish they would have shown the graphics on the "FireHawk"! That car is sooooooo awesome!!! Hoping they might show it next Monday!Last edited by elcaminogirl59; May 10, 2011, 07:56 PM.

Sorry I can't resist captioning this picture. From left to right.
Kyle, "yeah, I didn't have to wrench this SOB out !"
Troy, "yeah, it wasn't my motor that let go !"
Jerry (I guess) "Yeah, it didn't break on my Dyno !"
Scott, " S*** I have to pay for this. Hello, is this Driveline Specialities?"
Great pic Found Soul
Just another day at the shop eh.
Not so twisted DTB

I've got a pic of the twisted driveshaft somewhere from the white car, apparently first time they tried to launch it it pretzeled and the car moved maybe 2 feet. I don't think Government Motors designed it for that kindof torque ;).
Lemme go try and dig that pic up....

Jerry, I heard ALL good things about y'all. You are a first class outfit !
If I was the owner of Trans Am Depot I would have been very happy with last nights show. They mentioned the TAD name about 15 times and showed the logo A LOT. They showed the old shop too, which is pretty impressive with a bunch of cool muscle cars stored there.
Next week's should be the good episode, especially since they didn't show any of the drag testing, so I am sure it will be on next Monday night. The White car proved that 1100 hp is a little much for a street car and slung the driveshaft all over the track . . . Right Jerry? DTB wasn't there but did see some pictures.
Jim is still thrashing to bring his new Trans Am to the first 3 stops of the Tour . . . and the Starting Line Party. Custom Cars never fall together, keep wrenchin Jim and crew !!! I have a feeling y'all are going to be much busier, very soon.
Cheers TAD, DTB

Here's the dyno graph from the white TT Trans Am: http://www.diyautotune.com/american_...yno_graph.html
We brought our dyno down to assist with the tune and the shoot -- played a pretty small role and just got a couple banners on the show. Figured people may enjoy a look at the dyno graph tho!

I saw the cars at the Charlotte Autofest last month. I actually think the GTO has better proportions than the T/A, but I may be biased (owns a '04 GTO).

We tried a twelve flat too at 55 Summer Street but ran out of room by the time we reached Main Street in downtown Sopchoppy Thank goodness for the big ass Brembo brakes !
We will have one at the Starting Line Party . . . so says Jim. He will be driving his personal T/A. They are assembling it now. I say, "they have a lot of work to do in just three weeks" But hey we have all been there ! Good luck Jim and crew !

Some how my "expert" computer skills allowed me to CUT OFF the last part of my post ?
I'll try to fix the original post !
