You are doing well. keep after those goodies.

You deserve a lot of credit for doing something out of the mainstream, and hope all works out.

Ah me to nothing like working on a car for awhile and u cant drive it yet.

By days end thier sould be a aperance up date!

 

[NWHTanK]

Well it was a short trip in the grarage to find only dissapointment. The opening in the mustang wheels are to small for the dsm lug nuts to fit in! So i will have to order a custom set of spline drive lug nuts to get the wheels on the car.

 

[dsmspick]

Just a thought, you could look into using a 1g steering wheel instead of an aftermarket one...

 

[NWHTanK]

In the process of finding lugnuts. I ran into a old friend that is giving me the hook up.1 gen scion tc wheels are painted a hyper silver sorta like a gunmetal. The wheels that I have are a polished alum. If u have ever polished a wheel u know that up keep is a pain so im going painted.

I give you big props on the build man. Can't wait till its all done and you get the satisfaction of it being done. Very unique build. I actually had a 95 Neon Sport that i did the SRT Head swap. It was a fun car till it took a shit on my face. Good Luck Man. I will keep looking in ever so often.

 

[NWHTanK]

After talking with arrow on the phone, it got me thinking about making some custom bofy parts for this project.

It was my pleasure to be able to help you out, but like I told you the way I like to build my cars is to tackle one thing at a time, body work which in itself takes a lot of time when you are changing things, brakes which sometimes are bolt on but do require lots of planning, suspension which can be a killer money wise, and last my engine work.

Not everyone will follow this path since it may not be necessary and not all these changes are being made, engine it may surprise you and others I leave for last, once you have the engine ready to go, it becomes very tempting to take shortcuts, and leave things behind which should have been taken care of in the original plan.

As I finish one step in my build, it gives me more incentive to go to the next, not that if I have everything going at the same time, it is difficult to see what has been acomplished,

Having body work and engine work at the extremes is also beneficial since these 2 do not mix at all.
Give me call anytime you feel I can be of further assistance.

U have inspired me to make some custom parts when the time comes. Not only is this a srt swap but a rebadging of sorts. Kind of like rs,gs,gst,gsx. After thinking about it for the last six months I liking GSR. A cobination of gs and srt. That plans for the body will include altering front and rear bumpers along with hood. Some changes will be sublte and some will more involed. And I would like to thank all that read my post and have had to put up with my spelling and sentence stucture, I am working on it the more I post.

Thanks for your reference.

Maybe you can compete with the auto industry with your creation of this new model.

I will be posting some pictures of what is left of the structures around the top of windshield and around the rest of the roof.

Any updates to your build
Did you get my PM.

 

[NWHTanK]

Pm sent. Ive been in stall on the build and with weather hiting the 80s I have been busy with outdoor stuff and hunydo list. Have been hitting the xbox in the afternoon for controled anger management.

 

[Leonthefaded]

I've been doing the exact same, but when progress is made in a build like yours it seems like a huge leap into the amazing unknown. A fantastic Discovery.

 

[NWHTanK]

Lol u made me laugh at work. What is the deal with netflix? I never see you game up!

 

[Leonthefaded]

My daughter is always watching dora the explorer and all the education shows like national geographic and stuff. She hogs the Xbox. I'm gonna be doing some hardcore COD tonight if your ready to get beatdown

 

[NWHTanK]

Yeah right... What is cod? I dont do fishing games.
