Good luck on that venture. This has been brought up more than once and it's something that most people don't understand. Most vendor sponsored cars are completed cars that have proven themselves and have something to offer the vendor. Also, even if a car does have a sponsor, that doesn't mean the vendor is giving away parts. They may be selling them at a deeply discounted rate or maybe at their cost but not necessarily free. Vendors are going to have a hard time justifying paying money on a car that is not making a name for itself, let alone not assembled. I'd say if you're getting low on funds then now is the time to park it in the corner until you're ready to continue.

Looking good! Man, those Pro-Chargers are nothing to sneeze at. Not only do they look nasty, they work like crazy when applied properly.
I'm digging that gas cap too.

I've seen a few builds of cars that had the GTO seats and it takes a mods to get them to sit right. I seem to recall there was a comment that one of the motors for the seat hangs kinda low and either the floor pan need to be modified under the eats or the motor needs to be removed. There are a few threads on Protouring that deal with this mod, search around.

Fred Bartoli of Altronics used them and in the Camaro Performers didn't mention any mods that needed to occur to use that seat in his car. http://www.altronicsinc.com/camaro/
http://www.camaroperformers.com/feat...o/viewall.html

I thought about it, but I was able to get a whole 4th gen and I am using those seats instead.
