Just figured I would add a rendition of your design. Had some time, just wanted to draw.

Very nice Alex, Master of the GTRwidebody. I wish I had the skill to draw like that. Maybe I can hand you some 3/4 line drawings & have you finish the shading? I'm liking this last idea alot.

That shortened nose/rear idea is similar to my concept.
I'm also doing a cradle stretch to give it that short rear / cab-forward look as well.
I'm hoping to start sometime after Christmas. Choptop first, then the stretch.

Keep up the great work!!!!

That's cool. What is Dubs? Did you start a build thread yet?

Dubs are rims that are 20" or larger I think, might be 22" or larger. All I know is they are BIG.

The way I stretched my frame is walked through in my build thread in my signature, if it helps.

HT, you got to change the title of your thread man. I was looking for your f40 thread before but I never would have thought to look in ''88 coupe build' .

Nice job HTExtreme......I love the build-up!!
I will be starting a build thread after Christmas. I need to finish my S10 project, before I can get the car in the garage. I think my biggest challenge will be shortening the nose. The rad is gonna have to be pushed back, or relocated in the widebody vents. We'll see!!
And yes.....DUBS are 20" rims and bigger.

Okay I'll do that. I'd like to try it with 300zx lights which I think will fit perfect for this look.

Okay, did a little more tweeking on the GT . Plexi rear hatch has vent louvers , however it may be a smoother look if the louvers were concave/inboard.

Alex, if you have time to add some of your magic go right ahead.
