Very cool! My cousin put a 292 straight 6 in an real Opel GT. It is a handful!

[Spottedlaurel]

That's wild! Looks like something from a 1980s issue of Chrome & Flames magazine.

[TransAmMike]

Wow, that is super cool Ville?

[cobraman]

Very cool and well done.

[Smoke Wagon]

Now that’s cool. I really dig the paint and transparent spoiler. The bodywork is great.

[NOBLNG]

Very nicely done!?

[Gramps46]

The heat shields on the ignition wires are a really nice touch.

[Silver Foxx]

This looks great , real tough looking , nice work .

[Plowboy]

That is soooo COOL!!! Such great imagination and execution! It has everything going for it: paint, wheels/tires and a killer stance! Great work Ville!

Yup, absolutely fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite builds on this forum since I've been here.

That's one of the rare ideas that would be worth building full scale too.

In a way this has been built before. Inspiration came from Roadkill's Super Camaro. I copied it's paintjob.

[Mattilacken]

Thanks. I had to make them, as ignition wires "had" to routed very close to exhaust headers. Shield is just some rope I had lying around.

[Zippi]

Very kewl looking little Opel GT there Ville.  Looks like a road racer.  That color really sets it off.  Nice job man. 

[Ian McLaren]
