69 one-off... Custom ls9 build...

[mroth]

This will be one sweet ride when finished. Damn you're good!

To all the wheels replies... It's obvious i made a mistake on my typing since what was there isnt even in existance... Forgeline rims 17x10 front 18x12 rear Nitto z rested tires is what is currently on the car... The set-up will be 18x10 fronts and 19x12 rears before completion... We are working on the design of a complete custom one of a kind wheel if it doesnt get too insane on $$$... But we are going to wait for a final decision till the body widening is done so that the spacing looks correct...

Thanks for the reply.

I was really hoping something was out there that we didn't know about...

I love the widebody look!! This should REALLY be unique!

thanks

I like the wide body design, but I'm not diggin the LS9 badge on the grill

I think the widebody would look good if done right, but the 10"span area behind the door is way too busy,too many pockets/vents/slots and exhaust outlet, that don't flow with each other in too crammed of an area, just my honest opinion

BTW ,Michelin makes a 355/25/19, I believe there is a 30 series tire out as well, my brother has 355's on his widebody Supra

Totally agree!

Interesting dash. Wonder why they chose to go with a truckarm? Outside of the oooh-neat factor, seems counterintuitive.

Where is there a dash in those pictures? I didn't see any interior shots?

Pics from the shop where it's being built. The link is on page 2.

The only thing I would change would be the dash..Not sure how you are going to modernize the squareness of the dash, does not seem to flow with the rest of the car. I think if you are going as far with this as you are I would find some late model dash to modernize the interior. Just my 2 cents....Cool car.

If you do want to change your dash, I would suggest http://www.hairyglass.com/ Their dashes are very easy to trim, weigh next to nothing and look really cool when upholstered or painted. Here's a pic of the one I installed in a Vette I had. I didn't paint mine. I believe it's the one they sell that is supposedly modeled from a 90's Camaro.

Looks like an expensive project.

I only wish I had the funds like this for my numerous projects.

any new updates on this?

[jaythefordman]

looks to be a very interesting build.

I too am not sure about the body widening. I personally would widen it down the middle to keep the proportions, but that of course would be a little more difficult.
