Grand National Project #1

Cool just keep the pic's coming.You should take it to the track right now to get a stock et slip. :biggrin:
Also get it over with and build the trans Len Freeman is there in LV he has built my 200 & my TH400.
I'll just blow this one up first. :tongue: As for pics, I will keep updating all the car projects. This is the first GN project. The next one is the Duttweiler 388 Bowtie powered car, and the last will be the 87. I certainly will follow through on pics and updates with all of them. I know I PERSONALLY love pictures and enjoy see everyone's cars, so I try to repay the favor.
FWIW, some have converted to F-body seats. You can get them re-covered to look like GN seats.

Very nice looking! I like the black out on the lights!
So far, so good. The 86s paint is so nice, strange emblem placement (Its reveals the repaint) but who really cares when it looks so clean. Is this car getting the gross HP build or is this gonna be the "street car" build? I recall you saying you were gonna build 2 didn't I?!
Yep it's been repainted and I did notice that the emblems are placed too high. I have new ones to replace them. I just haven't gotten to it yet. As for GN's, I have three. One is this one, one is the 87 in the background, and the other is an 86 388 bowtie twin turbo Duttweiler car.

I think that was a car from San Diego then sold to a guy in NY now you?
That's true.
I like the car to look like the Grim Reaper himself could step out of it when it pulls up. :tongue: That's precisely the look I'm after.

Need a 39 year old step son:biggrin:
With some of the cars I've seen here, I have a LONG LONG LONG way to go to compete with some of these guys. I'm just cutting my teeth here. :tongue: I feel like an idiot sometimes here with the knowledge base and some of the ridiculously sweet cars I see. The engine bay thread had my jaw on the floor. I'm just trying to contribute in some small way to this community, and unfortunately the only way I can do that is to spend money, take pictures, and post updates. :tongue:
