GTX build

i started with shaving the side molding. yes it was alot more work then i thought it was going to be














there all welded up duraglassed. sorry i didnt take pics of the welding action

next was shaving the trunk lock key hole







welded shut, and duraglassed. no pics. again sorry i was tired of taking pics

next i started to shave the bumper grooves





grooves were sanded 80 grit on a die grinder





for filler i used Evercoat Maxim medium filler. looks like tar. same consistency of tar. very messy shit



thats all for now till next weekend.yea i got pretty bored. i almost thought about pulling the engine too . that will be next weekend

looking good

super job. the hard part is getting started! . itl look super when its done and the car will like it!

Taking off the side moldings really cleans it up!

na i woke up about 5AM and just felt like getting started so i went to work. i still need to lower it more. about another inch. the eibachs aren't low enough. coilovers will help for that. shaved GTX, tucking 18s and running high 11/low 12s. pretty much the goal. this wont be a daily driver. just a car to drive when i feel like it prolly a friday night cruiser

for those who dont know the current ride height

yup not bad only 20 hours this week end. and im quite tired, but need more products but im broke as a joke

well enjoy

looks like alot of fun. i love doing this stuff. alot of work but its worth it. as soon as my motor is all buttoned up im going to start the body on mine. should be fun. and materials aint cheap.

so far i have all of the stuff up to now. so i have Zer0 invested. the engine will be just as sexy as all of the body work, everything that can be fully polished will be. plus a 400+ FWHP engine aint nothing to shake your finger at

nice work corey, yeah it's allllll labor.

what kind of paint are you going to use? Stock color? Is that silvermist?

Nice, looks like your hard work will really pay off on this one!

Sunburst orange would look tittay's!!!!!

alot of people are saying sunburst orange. idk if that my style

Maybe a dark metallic gray like you were thinking on the Regal? Although I'd keep a lighter colored paint like a liquidy silver to show off the bodywork you're doing.

dark colors show off reflections you mean like this color



House Of Kolors. 170 a quart

what ever color i do decided. i will have a black roof. its something i loved on the SLP F-Bodys

Impressive so far. Doors look sweet! Maybe keep it silver? Nothing wrong with that. My next choice would be black, maybe with some carbon parts here and there (if budget allows!).

i have full carbon fiber dash kit, the real one from SLP i think it was a 800 dollar option, then the leather stuff on the doors was removed. im doing carbon fiber there. yes real shit. thats just how i roll. Comp G seats will be coming during the winter. lovely

if i keep it silver it will be silvermist with lots of blue and violet pearl.

on side note. coilovers will be here very soon, and the 19s also.

so much work it seams like im going crazy

but isnt it great though?

sure its fun. but its very expensive. but im not going to half ass anything. do it right

well only 2 hours today, the rest of the day was chillaxin









STOCK PAINT SUCKS 8)

time for grossness











































thats it for now kiddies

enjoy

O god...will u buy new body panel and change it? or...?
it's not actualy so dificult.. if you got the tools and skills.

i have both the tools and skill, but i made a mold so i can make fiber glass ones

Are those areas of rust what were under the lower trim? That's pretty hardcore dude

I know you'll make it look nice
