Chicken Gumbo
 

Hello,
I have been on the forum for awhile and figured it was about time I showed you folks, my little project. I wanted to wait until I had some shots of the work in progress but being up here in Canada and working in an unheated garage not much is getting done. But I have been busy getting parts and plan on getting busy this spring. The plan is a modest pro-touring car with LS power with a few twists.

The body mods are smoothed bumpers, 69 T/A hood, second gen bullet mirrors. Rushforth Rated X's, and a Full Speedtech Front Subframe with their Rear Torque Arm suspension.

I have been working with Kris Horton on the renderings so here are some shots of my evil little plan.

Thanks to Roger and Blake at Speedtech.

Colors
 

Thanks for the comments guys!

Kris was very good in taking my ideas for the car and graphically displaying them, I was thrilled to see the final renders. Now, it's time to get my hands dirty on the build. My initial choices are the newer metallic colours such as the Grigio Metallic Grey and Palladium Metallic Silver from (Acura). I will likely have a mock up panel painted first to see if this will work, but I am always on the lookout for "that" shade of silver.

any updates

I am sad to say, no real progress has been made other than more parts collection. 2011 was a busy year, new house, new job and getting married to boot, not much time was spent on the car. :willy: More stuff has been slowly acquired, LS2/4L70E,LS3 Intake/Heads. One of these days I will get there!:yes:
