Just an update. Not alot going on but I did receive my carrera coil overs in chrome. Got the tires mounted, and sent the seats out to be covered in leather w/ grommets as original as possible with the buckets supplied. Will assemble the shocks and mount them. Then set it down. It will then be ready to roll around as needed.I am picking up my transaxle tomorrow in Boston. Has to go thru customs. Hope not much problem with that.I am still waiting to receive a couple of remaining items ie: side screens, vents and a couple of other bits. I hope to set the engine in place soon. will keep you all updated. | |

can you post a pic of how you did the hold down bracket for the rear clip at the firewall?
I too have thought about using Hersh's idea on this as it looks really good.
I also thought about just running a rod through the firewall, so the hold down would be concealed, but haven't made up my mind yet. | |

Denis,
Your GT is really shaping up nicely. I like the hold down pins [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
So how about an update and what colors did you end up choosing?

well its been a while since my last post so here goes. The engine and trans have been put in. All mounts were lined up great.All the nut inserts are in and all body filling is complete and primed. The front clip, hood, and side rocker panels have been block sanded and reprimed, ready for final sand then paint!! All the parts are spread out all over my shop. I will assemble all the parts and get all working for the final sanding, then take it all apart again for painting.I will try to post photos but my computer and camera aren't getting along so good lately. | |
