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. |

Thanks cvxjet for the positive comment, as for having custom "A"arms yes that is the direction I've decided to move in Ive been in discussions with Chris from West Coast Fiero and hope to order up the fronts once I get the final measurements.

Well I’ve finally finished all the home and yard projects that have be holding up my build since we moved, and am back to work.
i picked up a lift for my shop which will makes working on the bottom and sides of the car much easier and perhaps even save my back!!!
I am working on my interior the ultimate goal to make a more modern updated interior. Starting with the dash endeavouring to incorporate the 550 instrument pod I picked up from Riceburrer a couple years ago into a modified 308 “Pisa” dash. I didn’t want to destroy a perfectly good dash so I molded the dash and layer up one to cut up to add the pod.
For the centre console I’m using one I picked up from Don that is for a 355 I picked up all the switchers from him as well. I’m running a 4T65e auto I wanted to eliminate the shifter ” takes up to much real estate” replacing it with a PCS paddle shifter and controller.
The seats I’m replacing with some APR racing seats , much more support and allows for a 4 point harness install.
ill post some pics as I go need to figure out how to post them , it’s been awhile.

Hi LEEEZARD
I am going to be making a mold of the car so that If God forbid I have a accident I can replace panels. I was considering building a limited run of 10 bodies lots of PM’s but no one willing to commit. And pay the price for one. So I’m going a different direction and am probably going to be building turn key complete cars. Something for me to do in my retirement.
Nice wheels by the way!!

Added the foam board to the dash to give me the median to carve a shape to accentuate the lines of the 550 dash into the dash design. Once the changes are complete I’ll prepare the dash as a plug to have a new dash laid up on it.
