Hello all,

I've started this thread to keep you updated on my new project, I call it Screaming Banshee. The project is to fabricate a new body for an 86 GT (which I'll be referring to as the core) which will be a replica of the '88 Banshee Concept. After the body panels are removed, the core will have it's frame widened and lengthened to create Banshees long wide look and also to accommodate a larger engine. New glass will also be fabricated. The engine has not been picked yet, but it will be a V8. All efforts will be made to recreate Banshees interior, including electronics such as the Performance Information Center and Electronic Navigational Display

Pictures of the starting car will be added later

Well, I've been trying to decide what to do with this 86, I'd rather not part it out because it still has a good frame. And I thought the banshee would look more unique than a Lambo body kit.

Those are a lot of smooth curves on that Banshee. Is it going to be fiberglass?

Naturally, you can work wonders with fiberglass.
