A lot of people ask about how Trans Am hood birds were installed at the plant.
Back in 2021 an interview was conducted of an ex-plant worker who had the job of installing hood birds at the Van Nuys plant, An article was written for Smoke Signals magazine.
The GM plants were cranking out 58 cars/hour at the peak of F-body production, so installers at each station had just about 58 seconds of actual working time to complete their task. When Van Nuys first started building Firebirds, decal installation was done as the cars were emerging from the paint curing ovens. Jon said the sheet metal was so hot they had to douse the car with three 5-gallon buckets of water just to be able to touch the surface. Even so, the water evaporated so quickly the decal immediately fused itself to the hood wherever it touched, so the defect rate was over 50%. They eventually moved the decal installation operation further down line just before the doghouse was installed.
Workers pulled a hood off the overhead conveyor, set it on a jig attached to a turntable that allowed them to spin the hood 360 degrees while using a squeegee to displace air and water trapped under the decal. Once the decal installation was complete, the hood was hung back on the conveyor hook (in the same spot) where it would remain in proper production sequence to be mated with the car for which it was intended. The photo shown here was taken at this stage.

Like - Love - Leave?

1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am: iconic early-'70s American muscle with bold styling, aggressive stance, available big‑block V8 power, and collectible appeal—classic lines that turn heads. Is this vintage beast a like, a love, or a leave?

Dope or Nope?

1985 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am — classic '80s muscle with T-tops, bold graphics and V8 rumble. Growing collector interest makes it a popular restoration or restomod platform. Vintage charm or past its prime?
