This thread should be made a "sticky" by the moderator to keep it at the top.
Rick, thanks for sharing this insider GNX related info with the rest of us. I know it takes time and effort on your part, especially in photographing parts and documents and lets face it as time goes on more and more of this information will "evaporate" and never become available to the GN/GNX community.

I read before that one of the GNX prototypes was stolen from the ASC grounds, is this just a rumor or did it actually happen? Also, have any pictures of the assembly of these cars?
This threads amazing, thanks for the great info!!

That article was in Hot Rod, it shows a GNX behind a chainlink fence that has its wheels missing. The article states they stole it and only took the wheels and probably did not know what type of car they had. I will try and look for the article, if you email me I will shoot a pic back of it.

As I mentioned in the previous article most of the components were made from master parts, not designed or engineered on the computer (or back in the old days on the drafting board). We would make master parts, have them shipped to our supplier and then have them mass produced. This was not the case for all the parts but for most.
What we have pictured here is the master parts for some of the suspension components. As you can see in the pictures all of the original text on the labels has faded . The yellow paint also indicated that this was the master part that all parts were to be checked against. If you look closely at some of the welds on the master parts some were TIG welded, but in production all were MIG welded. Regards Rick

Rick,
I have pictures of the PPG GNX, I used to be volunteer PPG official for the CART series in the late '80s. I had the opportunity get several rides by the PPG CART drivers around the Miami Grand Prix and at Elkhart Lake. I know I took some pictures of the vehicle with the lovely drivers in 35mm. Once I find the negatives I will forward them to you. Regards, Stratos

Are you guys talking about Car Craft March 1988; "Sad fate of GNX prototype #1"? I don't think it was stolen. Just a test car. I will try to post up the article. FYI, it is on volume 4 of my CD's...
