I was planing to do a custom Targa Top. I've worked with composites for 8yrs so the top is a walk in the part so to say. So Off with the T bar and began to make a mold.

Well a local buddy decided he MUST do this also... I'm not one to have someone copy my ideas so i said WTF and decided to take it 1 step further.....
I found a vert for parts
I couldn't see a good car goto waste. Mint leather i sold for what i paid for the complete car.
I used Everything needed form the totalled RS to convert my Z to a vert. most would say I'm crazy. Well body work is easy. Its the paint that will be a cchallenge
I picked up a Complete 97 TA int. I wanted the TA int. because the dash has the 3 center vents I'm going to use for my Boost, Fuel PSI , oil temp.
Gauge pod will have Fuel PSI and water.
It has a Comp. Eng. 8 point roll bar.
Complete hotchkis suspension right now.lca's sfc's panhard rod, stb, springs, tie rod ends etc.. (might swap to ART bag setup)
Tubular K member and A Arms.
Mini Tubbed for some 17x11's tucked.
This is a 27x11.5 slick tucked
I need to mock up a 17x11 rim and get the ford 9inch with 3.00's I have mocked up and fit in.
Front I have a C5 vette setup. slotted/cross drilled rotors etc.
Well enough rambling for now. I have had this car since new and its been through quite a few changes. daily driver, Track Only, and now this is the Last transformation to a GA machine./ Power Tour car.
NOW THE GOOD PART
Motor in the works is a 420sbc
Brian from B&G Turbo is fabing up a custom setup of block hugger looking headers and cross over for a single HOLSET HX55
Very similar looking to this setup.
This is my FMIC and HX55 I'll be using. If Im not happy with the HX55 I'll move onto a PT88
The HX55 will support around 850-900 WRHP
Intake setup is gona be a FIRST INJECTION setup
