Default The GT2:1969 turbo fastback

Hi,

Been lurking for most of 2 years but now I'm finally building a car that's worth a post or 2. So here the run down so far!
These are the renderings of how the build will look incl. some "artistic freedom" (drip rails and door handles are staying so far):



The GT2 naming is because this is my second attempt at a GT type car (Gran Tourismo) or Pro Tourer.

The feature list looks like this:
Ford SB 363 stroker, World Products block, all forged & hyd. roller, 0 balance, Diamond pistons
Single turbo: BW AirWerks 80mm S400 (S480?), intercooler
Big Stuff 3 ECU
HKS EVC VI boost controller
BBK SSI-R intake
T-56 trans from Pro Motion, McLeod RST clutch, hydraulic throwout
AJE front coil over struts w/adjustable A-arms, improved roadrace K-member, double adj. Koni's, manual rack & pinion
13" 4-piston Brembo front, 11,65" Cobra R rear
FAB9 9" rear & TrueTrac, TCP leaf spring kit, adj. Varishocks
TCP torque arm & Panhard bar
18" Shelby CS56 wheels, 9.5" and 11" width
Toyo R888 rubber, 275/35 and 315/30
Speedhut Revolution gauges
69 Deluxe interior, black
ProCar leather seats
Rollcage & Simpson harness
Custom carbon bodywork & aero parts

The car is being built by CPR Streetmachines, the engine by Total Performance (Obsidian etc.). Both in San Diego. I do as much of it as I can on weekends in CA.

I was lucky to get a stranded project from a guy in Portland, looked like this when it rolled in:


The previous owner did a very good rust revival, new rear qtrs, inner wheelwell, floors, rear valance, tailpanel and what not. Completely clean now though.

Shock towers shaved to make more room for turbo piping:


Front suspension from AJE Racing + the 13" Brembo stuff:

Rear wheels back from widening (Vaughns Machine in LA). Went from 9.5" to 11" for the rears. Notice how little weight was needed to balance out those 315s.


With all 4 wheels present and accounted for we could finally set the ride height:


Front fender got the lip rolled around a 5/16 rod to get a nice curved edge:
