I bought the car this weekend.. what a solid project, went to 417's shop and did a tour, awesome place, the work Jason has done to this car will be continued by me.. though I am swapping to a smokey and the bandit color scheme.

If you build it...
 

I'd buy a set of these!

QNitro FTW!
 

Congrats Kevin! I know you'll do a great job finishing it with your style!

Just used a belt sander on the stock ones :)

Look forward to seeing it! Good luck!!

Ok, car is back on, my super painter got his back log caught up.. Im dropping off this weekend..

Got the fenders on and off.. the ones it came with seemed off, so I bought some OER's, my painter hate OER's so I will take both to him :)

Did the Trunk Strut in.. Bought a 441 LS7 LME Motor... Been working on my 91 Z28 and my GN to hold me over.. I blame the painter on my car A.D.D( thats an inside joke to him, He has more personal projects than I do, and still manages to knock out cars for me)

Sounds like your painter is a piece of work. How many years do you think it will spend in paint prison? :lol:

Don

Suspension info/mods done on the GN? Wheel/tire sizes?

I have been wondering how the project is coming! Good to see you post!

Wheels are 18x11.5 with 315 rear, frame is notched and powder coated, QA1 Coilover suspension, Quick Performance 9 inch, Baer Brakes, Dennys aluminum custom driveshaft LT4/TR6060... car should be fun

Yeah, been busy :)

Must be a deep notch or the pic angle is messing w/me. I've had 10" wide/6.0BS wheels on a G-body 'Bu that was notched to the factory seam & they barely tucked inside the OE wheel opening flange.

I've been following the T/A build since it started/previous owner. Glad to see progress & your "distractions" 'aint too shabby either LoL.

Glad to see you're still making progress with it. Hope paint jail isn't terrible.

This car is cursed with paint and body guys lol!

my painter is a cool cat... he will actually have it turned around pretty quick... Thinking March(ish) than built in time for Bandit Run

That's fantastic, then. I can't wait to see it in color.

Well she made it to paint, Don has her and is stripping her, using a black sealer, undercoating and paint.. She is going to look awesome.. Its a Single stage paint.. makes fixing boo boo's easier :)

Well she is back from paint and Don did a great job again.. I also put the pics of the under coating in here..

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don made a custom close out for the radiator support.. its awesome(as Don pointed out to me, still needs some cutting and buffing, but he expects me to scratch the car so when I bring it back he will hook it up)

Nice.

Looks fantastic from here. Will you be putting the bird and decals on?

Ohhh yeah, full on black and gold..

Well making Progress..

Soo cool.

Aw, man! I can't see crap, and I really want to see this.

Why’s that? Really can’t seem them

man that thing looks absolutely menacing with that stance and the wheels!

Using my work computer I can see the pics. Looks great! I'm excited to see this coming along.

I'll check my home computer later today. I bet it's because you're using photobucket to host. I've had problems seeing pictures hosted there over the last few years.

Looking great! That build is going to be for real!

Some updates.. I have the dash set up, I took a Year One dash insert and covered it in a black tint, Got the hidden wiper in, got the Holley Harness in, got the headers in, hydraboost and Baer remaster in, did the coil relocation setup, need to finish the wires, have the AC in and cut need to crimp.. slowly but surely

Car is getting close..

Stance is spot on. What's your overall wheel diameter in the rear? How much travel do you have? I really would like to bring my car down lower, but I worry I won't have good travel.
