Perhaps the same color as my Supra??? I do have a "silent partner" in the project, who's paying for the paint. He likes Corvette milenium yellow, or a Ferrari/corvette red. We shall see. It is a race car, otherwise I would paint it a dark silver/graphite, or the blue for sure.

Before anyone gets too worked up about the GTC nose, consider that it will only fit properly on a widebody, and that as you can see in the pic, there is about 6 hours in the nose to get it right. It was a fine starting place, but this one was so bad Chuck did not want to sell it. I have a half gallon of resin, and several square feet of mat, and fabric added to that nose. It is no longer made, perhaps Chuck would sell the mold to someone that wanted to take on a project. Carl

I'm not sure what sactioting body runs with the mods you have...either way, great work!!
To any doubters of how it'll look...umm, it dosen't matter -- i think he's going for fast over looks anyways.

The car is being built for fun/race. I will be competing in NASA Super Unlimited road racing, it MAY be eligible for ITE, but I doubt it. My wife and I will also autocross it locally with a slightly smaller turbo. The car is designed to run on two different turbos, and two different exhausts based on whether I want more power, or faster spool(since I never did find a magic turbo).
Fritz, I guess Fujita got those '99 lights on an FC first... I called them about an HID conversion for the '99s, but they never did come through with it.
I'll try and take a good side shot to go with the front so some Photoshoppers can give it a whirl.
When I get rich I will by some SSR SP1 Proffesors, and some DOT R compounds so I can hit the street from time to time.

Some serious machinery in that area.
Car looks great Carl and I hope you get it done by the 17th. What else do you have to do to it? I imagine you'll be trailering it.
I received your paypal deposit btw.

I should be at SS7, I'm just hoping my used turbo really is a Q trim. I am seriously considering buying a 67 Q trim in case I come up short w/the T66. I think Dave is waiting on a motor .

Carl Fujita didn't have em first it was just a photochop done by myself for fun. It sure would look nice though. I just finished playing shade the layers and I am almost done with a nice metal flake looking cherry Red for your pic. I will have it done in a jif just need to chop the 99's onto your front bumper .

Why don't you buy a 67GTQ with a 1.0 AR divided housing... and then I'll trade you for my .84
But then you'd have to run a 4" exhaust...
I'll stall Steve while he's here to buy you some time
