I havent decided a solid direction in my build I like to road course race and drag race a bit. I have a grand national drivetrain Im thinking about dropping in. who knows. Might drop in a motor I scored from a 69 judge.
Thanks again for answering my question and for the pics.

Thanks, and you are welcome. I also think the spoiler plays a big role in keeping the front from looking too expansive. It visually stops the eye at a point ahead of the wheels, essentially shortening the nose. Otherwise, it's a long, long beak hanging out there which contributes to an oddball look when combined with the chrome bumper.
I had the splitter fabbed up to help take some visual weight off the back, but now that it's pretty much done, I like it as is. If the day came and I still have the car, I would minitub it and put some black powdercoated Fiske FM10's on there and then do the splitter. I think that would give it a meaner, more track oriented look.
Sounds like you have a tough decision on the motor. They did put the 3.8T in the T/A Anniversary cars, and Pontiac has offered other Turbo's in the 2nd Gens. I think you could get away with it from that point of view. Any early GTO motor is a good starting point too. I'll be watching your build!
