I will post up more pics tomorrow. the pics posted today are just the ones I had on my phone. I've already started making my master buck on one side of the rear bumper. I have also ripped apart the sunroof and gutted the interior which I will get pics of as well.

so ya updates will be frequent as I am moving quite fast on this project. I want it done by spring.

Also.. if anyone is interested in the GT3 side skirts I bought, they are for sale. I paid $249 for them. i'll knock a few $'s off for someone who my wants them. also have a rear bumper and set of wheels(pictured in the first post) for sale. the rims have been painted and the tires have less than 500miles on them. fronts are 255/35/18 and rears are 285/35/18. I paid $700 just for the tires, selling for $700 for rims and tires.

oh ya and the Fabspeed exhaust is up for sale as well... the mufflers. The headers I'm keeping. Making my own exhaust

Thanks
Brian

shipping would be from 48446

Big amen to that. life is short and this past summer we had a scare to where my wife and I were setting up plans for my funeral... scary few months of my 40 yr life I'm still on the mend but it definitely put some things in perspective for us. your kids come first and my little guy loves this stuff so I'm a happy camper having him out there in the garage with me.

Where this is going is inspired from these 4 pics I'v had on my work pc for months. I'm not replicating anything on these cars but these are that eye popping appeal I'm trying to get to. The blue one... OMG I love that car, but I don't feel my skills are enough to get me to that thus my own build with out trying to copy another. To me all four of these cars would make me get my phone out if I seen them on the road

I never saw that RUF CTR3 before. Your post made me google it. Striking.

Looks like a cool project you are doing. Looking forward to seeing the result.

Steel's good. Did you straighten the inner fender too (to clear wider tires)?

I was cheap, I got them made in CF...

Subscribed! I like everything about this except for your plan to use a green from the Camaro and not one of the 100's of beautiful greens that our very own Porsche has come up with

Serious, though, no criticisms here. Roll on, sir!

Great work... I'll be looking to start a project of similar scope once my daughter is a bit older.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

the few people who have seen the car in person have all said the same thing about the skirts lol the pics are not doing it justice. it really stands out and looks great in person.
Any plan on selling/producing the side skirts?
I would love to see your car when you are done as you are not too far away.
