I guess this is as good a time as any to start posting my build project and let everyone know where it started form.
In November 2007 I got this 88GT and it looked nice but needed work.
some things I have done so far.
new poly motor and trans mounts ( they were all Broke in two !)
new poly suspension front and rear.
fixed all of the v6 and auto trans. leaks (nothing bugs me more than oil in my shop)
did the s-10 booster upgrade and started on the body.
I am making a one off fiberglass body for the whole car. I started with a 355 front facia taken from a real 355 and cut down 4" I made a top cover for it using the stock GT bumper as a mold then made molds off the stock front fenders so I could make them wider to fit the new front end and cover the front tires better.
I also vented the hood.
this is where it is at this point. I talked to Archie and I am going to order his wide body rockers.
also as far as the drivetrain and other mods f40 6 speed trans, LS6 motor , choptop among other mods I will post all of it here.

It already looks nice! Those improvements will make it the exception.
Keep us informed of how things go. I'd like to see how the body kit goes.

I wanted to take pictures and post them today but my POS camera quit working so today it is off to walley world to get a new one and get
pictures to post tomarow.
as far as the street sign my sister-in-law works at a sign company. That was my x-mas gift. Can you tell she likes me ?

I like that front end. Yellowstone has one in Germany and it looks very nice.

Bump to keep my build going
I have not worked on my car for some time now because of my back but I am now restarting on it
I will post new pictures after this weekend
the front end is mounted and I vented the hood and made new wide fiberglass front fenders
I made the front end 3"s wider than stock to get rid of that wedge look and cover the tires better.
I hope to have it in primer soon.
I have alot more to do to it.
IE.... widebody, choptop, custom rear facia, LS6/6 speed, and more
