I just finished making this car for a board member, thought everyone would like a look...
![]() ![]() ![]() Putting one of these together is quite the process taking about 2 weeks to complete requires both an RT/10 and GTS to cut up to make 1 car as the facia and hood are needed to complete the look. |

Very cool! Did that start out as a GenI and you added the GenII wheels and front end? Makes me want to get a hard top for mine. |

Yep. I had to cut off the roof and facia of the GTS. Then the hood just bolts onto the facia. The sidesills are filled with bondo then shaped.

Around $100 depending on what the person wants done. The costs of putting one together without what I charge to put it together are around $60.

Sounds good. A sapphire one would look pretty good. Think you could do that one? Maybe with Cognac Interior?

Very nice Craig!
I have never had the patience, or artistic skills needed to paint, airbrush, etc. both my brothers are gifted in that area also. Makes me really appreciate that type of skill. |
