6 Attachment(s)
After many years of talking about this one, it is underway. Plan is modern protouring style.

LS3 (650hp), Magnum T56, 12 Bolt with 3.7 gears
Tubbed, Detroit Speed Front Subframe & Quadralink.
Wheels (currently ) Forgeline GZ3, 18 x 10 front wearing 275/35 tyres, 18 x 12 back, wearing 325/30 tyres.
Colour, tba (not red).

I have commissioned Ben Hermance to do a design rendering, http://www.hermancedesign.com/, will post once happy with it

I heard from Bonnevile Engineering today that DSE suspension and LS3 engine was all OK to use

The car arrived at bodyworks on Saturday

And in a well timed arrival, the new body panels arrived today (thanks Classic Custom Imports), quarter panels, inner wheelhouse, cowl vent panel, trunk, floor pan patch panels & DSE Mini Tubs. All body panels are AMD, quality looks very good, now for the fit test.

Purchased car disassembled. Had been torn down and media blasted. At least this way I know what I am getting, and with what I am planning there wouldn't have been much left of a nice car anyway.
Car had supposedly lived its life in Fresno. Underneath was very solid
Major rust area was cowl area, there are some other small rust areas, lower tulip panel and pinholes in front floor plans near toe board. Assume had a leaky windscreen
Quarter panels are being replaced due to some previous butchery.

Very nice, i will be looking forward to watching this one come together as well...as you can tell i love 2nd gen's but love the 1st gen's just as much. Pretty much a Camaro guy, who loves Mustang's too, well, pretty much a car guy...
