Wow a new page.
Bob the wheels are 19x8 on the front and 19x10 on the rear. I agree with getting a front wide track suspension for all kinds of reasons.
The back has already been widened 3" on both sides with no spacers. The rear rotors are from a Ferrari 550 with 550 Brembo brakes
The rotor design has a fairly deep wheel hub so adding 1" spacer wouldn't look to differant. This would leave the wheel about 1/2" away from the wheel well lip at the top Which I think is perfect. At the front of the rear wheel well due to the lower scoop there would be more space.

Where did you find those louvers on your rear deck?

The rear deck louvers are made by a buddy of mine.

Dobie1,
I see the other rear deck openings are covered with a mesh. Will your buddy be building louvers for those openings? Just my opinion, I think louvers look more OME . . . . .

In the interest of giving credit where credit is due I want to say that the changes and current finish to the design of the car where completed entirely buy Frank Dunlop. We brainstormed back and forth on the design but he did all the work. I think he did a fantastic job. Thank you Frank!

I plan on finishing the car as soon as time allows.

Well its been awhile but I've finally completed all the reno's I need on the house.
So on with the build, I've had the car down having an inspection done on it so it will be road safe once its finished.
My first order of business is the interior getting the dash modified and hopefully using the 550 dash pod I got from Riceburner.
Ill update as soon as I have something.

First off, that kit has very good proportions....Looking carefully, someone who knows the real GTO will notice differences, but it still looks good and cohesive.

Second, on your front wheels, don't get wheels with more negative offset- That will increase your scrub radius. Instead, have custom A-arms made that move the spindle (And wheel) out. Arraut used to make them but they have gone under apparently....There are other custom operations that can make them to your specs.
