Subscribing!

This is going to be an "Out of this WORLD" build! Looking forward to what you have planned for it.

Thank you Matt

I know its just another 1st Gen build, 'been there done that' so many times here on Lateral G and the fact that there are so many incredible builders (shops) doing extraordinary things BUT ...

I believe the true beauty of this build and my vision is the simplicity, overall focus on design and functionality, selection of components and materials that will make this car a standout both to look at and to drive.

We will see !!

Cheers
Steve

I love going through Skip's thread of just car pics. You see so many variations on "pro-touring" builds. I'm reminded of the various design styles as they changed through the years. Some of those styles did not age well. The cars that I like the most are the ones that stayed true to the original designs and just tweaked and polished them. I don't think you can go wrong with that route for a build ever.

Trey, could NOT agree more .... My buddy Andrew is at Good Guys right now sending me pics, and some of it is just too much, too overdone.

Cheers

I just found this thread and I hope you do the red interior. I have considered bidding on this car and I realized I don't need another car.

But it does have a bad ass "Red Interior" which you may or may not like.
