      Apollo project GSiX, it's all Buick

      Ok so after 13 years of sitting around watching everyone else have their fun it was time to find some room in the shop and get started.


      I have been collecting parts and building this in my mind for years. Plan is to get this on the road minus the paint and body work and get all the bugs worked out and then blow it apart and make it nice. Mostly plan to AutoX but won't back down to take it anywhere and open it up.




      GSiX comes from combining GSX and the Turbo 6 the dot in the i will be the turbo six logo. The concept is to create a phantom musclecar, the what if Buick could have built in 74, then restomod that into a pro-touring machine.


      The plan:
      Buick Turbo 6 from Grand national
      FAST engine controller
      Switch pitch 400
      Updated suspension and braking (Speedtech AFX tall spindles, SPC upper and lower arms, torque arm rear suspension with watts link and coil overs)
      Updated interior with some GN parts
      Drive the crap out of it!










      engine set in for fittment, BGC intake, ATR stainless headers, 67 turbo, powerstroke intercooler


      ]
      must not weigh the same as the weak straight 6 it replaced nose bleed high in front



      This might help, CPP c5 spindles, SPC upper arms,hotchkis front drop springs, C5 brakes









      that's looking better

      Since these pictures were taken I have sold the CPP spindles , and bought a set of Speedtech AFX tall spindles and SPC arms, been waiting over a month for them and will post and update when I get them and have them on for mock up.
