Been around GT's for 7 years and finally an owner!!!!!


thats some smart software!!:lol
 
Looking good !! I love the hood and the new rear screen look !! :thumbsup
 
Big, Big, Big, disappointment here. Thought you had enough sense to go RED! Looks like AnalogDesigner has had some influence on your choice of header exit. Guess I can forgive the no red. Looks very nice. Good luck finishing it up. Frank
 
Rich,

Looks great! Your exhaust exit is EXACTLY where it belongs. I'd love to see an honest-to goodness bundle-of-snakes exhaust. Might this be a possibility......
 
Well I know the rules about posting pics of wrecked cars, that it has to be your car. Well I didn't hurt it but, I picked it up this way. Since the stars have finally aligned correctly I am now the new owner of a White/blue (second favorite color combo) in need of some repair, 05' GT. Here it is in state of teardown. Special thanks to GT Joey for setting me up with the previous owner. Looks like he will have more parts for his museum, once this one is back on the road. Stay tuned as we have some new things that we plan on trying on this one to set it apart from the rest. I will have to ask GT Joey to save me a spot at Carlisle now. Now we just need to find the right deal for Denis too!! Way back in development days I asked to be part of the team only dreaming of getting the chance to get to drive one back then, now finally after 7 years I just need to put this one together and it shall be mine to drive whenever I want. Now I can officially ask to add owner to the forum name!!

Yes, we still have other cars to work on before I can put my time into this one. It will have to wait its turn in line. (Sounds like a midnight, after hours project)!!!



Rich
