Well there is so much i’m doing with this project i’ll just go over the basic run down.
Engine: LS2, ported stock heads, large cam (T3), LT’s etc.
Body: Widened rear fenders, to run 13" CCW SP550 Wheels. Burnout front bumper/fenders. Sonic Blue Pearl Metallic paint.
Interior: Corbeau CR1’s, custom roll bar by me, converting from tan to black, new carpet etc.
This is what it started as:
Stupid Rotary Out:
Real Engine vs. Stupid Rotary:
Stripping Down for paint:
Start of the Roll Bar:
Wider Rear Fender (not molded yet):
Cut out the old fender on drivers side, You can see it goes over the gas filler area:
Welded Plate over gas filler area:
Gas Filler relocation, right behind the tail light; just need to open the hatch:
I’m farther than the last pics, the roll bar is 90% done, just finishing up the removable door bars. Also the rear fenders are prepped and ready for me to mold them in.
Also, here is the front bumper and fenders than I’m using. Gives an idea of what it should look like when i’m done, except it will be sonic blue, better wheels and wider rear fenders.
I seen this project in your signature the other day and hoped to see some progress pics sometime. Very nice start so far. You plan on running an auto or manual? Any ideas on a finish date?
