Kennyboy Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Very cool project, Ken! I love the front end treatment too! Thanks Dirk! Really love what you have going with your Ghia build. I'm definitely following!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyJ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I appreciate the kind words on the Ghia! I love the pro-touring/G-machine genre and have seen the Vette before in several publications. This is a difficult one to capture because of the various styling ques, but you are nailing it and doing good justice to a worth-while project. While my project has porsche power in a Ghia, in the real world, your project would still smoke mine, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
