pro-touring 67 GTX UPDATE 6/17

[71datsun1200]

here's a wip i've been working on for the last year and a half.

here's some pics of where i'm at with it as of today.today i started on finishing up the engine compartment.smoothing out the firewall and finishing up the inner fenders that i moved up and back.still need to add a battery,brake booster and other stuff i can't think about right now.i smoothed the cowl ,no wipers for this build.all the parts that you will see are from an '05 vette and a little scratch building to get everything to go with the gtx kit.the entire suspension and transmission are from the vette.the block is the 426 hemi block with the hemi heads shaved to keep things tucked under the hood.intake is from the vette along with fuel injection and belt drive system.not sure what the radiator came fromm either the vette or chevy ssr,can't remember.i got rid of the vent windows and cut the windshield down to fit.

used the vette dash .

used the front half of the vette console the rest was scratch built to go all the way to the back seat so that the vette drivetrain could be used and keep such a low stance.

the trunk is hinged now but i still need to finish of the trunk itself.i had to double hinge the hood to get it to work the way i wanted it to. it's been almost 2yrs and i'm almost finished this project.took so long cause i lost interest in it for a while.but hopefully by next week i should at least have it in primer if i don't get side tracked.

thanks for looking.
