The GT2:1969 turbo fastback

[byndbad914]

great looking renderings! In the end you beat me to it - I have been road racing my car and will stick with it for a couple more years but in the near future I am going to do a 70 fastback and you have virtually the same color scheme I planned, just "flipped"! Looks even better than I expected it too (my race car is two tone black on the bottom/olive green on top with black stripe full length - I was going to do the same to the 70. You are flipped with green on the bottom and black on top - again, looks great.

I had a 70 Grabber Sportsroof for years that had a "reverse C" stripe like the 69 Boss and love the look - your take on it with the GT2 and 363 looks great.

Shot of my car for grins - green and black cars rule! Best of luck on the build - will subscribe and follow along.

Thanks for all the kind words!

The paint scheme is inspired by the 69 Trans Am driven by George Follmer. All my cars are green and/or black so the combination was a no-brainer. The wheels were the closest I could find that looked like a present day relative of the classic mini-lite racing wheels.

I don't know the name of the heat barrier, will check. But it works great.

Dustin at CPR is full on the turbo placement and piping arrangement and I'm working on the carbon parts, so hopefully more pictures soon! We're shooting for a spring premiere.

Barry - I have been following yours too, I will post some info over there for you.

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).

I'll post some pics of the carbon work in a couple of days, it's all work 1-2 hours, wait 12 hrs to dry/harden/cure.

So to get some instant results I mounted my Oregon Scientific actioncam on my helmet. Simple click on off mount that comes in the camera kit, now epoxy/glassed to the helmet. Needs a bit of finish + some black sealer on the edges:

Very nice - excellent detals such as rear diffuser.
