The GT2:1969 turbo fastback

Its all in the details, repositioning the rear wing:


Making the custom fender emblems out of 2 302's and a 460:

I went for Speedhut Revolution gauges. The 4" and 2-5/8 fit the original gauge cluster perfectly but of course there was a lot of work in modyfying and fitting:


So that's basically where we're at right now. Engine and tranny are set (back & down from stock) and the turbo just came in. So now it's time for Dustin to do his thing! Fab up turbo headers, DP etc. etc. and get the thing rolling!

Hell...even I am getting tired of all the Camaro builds. Nice project!

[Ricochet]

Awesome project in the works! Renderings are killer. Look forward to watch this one progress.

Keep us posted! Must have been a nightmare buying a car in the states and shipping to Denmark!

Darren, the car is in San Diego where the builder is (CPR Streetmachines). I'm flying over now and then to do some of the work though.
When it's nearly complete it'll be shipped here. Actually quite routine: 4 cars in a 40', pay $1600, wait 5-6 weeks. The last part is what REALLY sucks!

Anyway, time for an update. Working on the turbo setup and the carbon parts, both takes a loooong time before it looks like anything at all, lots of planning and prep.

Engine is back in and moved way back and down, no issues clearing the hood:


Turbo placement is done and the helper bracket taking most of its weight is in, 5" DP being mocked up and cutting for the IC:

Next is the hot side with each header going all the way to the T6 flange (no merge).
