HAD A LOT OF FUN AND A LOT OF HOURS INTO THIS ONE. WHILE WORKING WITH OLD ANVIL WE EMBARKED ON WHAT WAS GOING TO BE A GIVEAWAY CAR PROJECT. WE WERE TEAMED UP WITH A COMPANY AND WERE TO BUILD THIS TRANS AM WHICH WOULD BE SPONSORED BY (An internet influener WE WERE SEARCHING FOR), THEN be RAFFELED OFF AT THE END OF AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.
the design itself incorperates elements of my favorite "real" trans ams, 69-79. its the late 77-81 big rear window body and t-tops, 71 style nose and tail, 69 side scoops, and a bird done in the 71 style but 79 size, in flake!
THE RED WHITE AND BLUE "CHAMP" WAS the first CONCEPT with iRON MIKE TYSON in mind. WE WENT THROUGH A STRING OF OTHER POSSIBLE INFLUENCERS ALONG THE WAY FROM A MIAMI FOOTBALL PLAYER TO THE WU-TANG CLAN (MY FAV!)... LASTLY I REDRESSED THE IDEA AND PROPOSED IT TO CENTERLINE wheels, PROBABLY THE BEST LOOKING VERSION... CHECK OUT THOSE DETAILS, I STILL DIG IT AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME OF THESE IDEAS ON THE STREET!
