Sold our GTO unfortunately.

If a local car wants a straight axle conversion we could easily do it at the shop then make a kit off it...

two problems with that some classes require working headlights, and for those of us whom how should I say this maybe do some late night testing and tunning.

I like this idea alot, and just making brackets to mount stockers. If you have to run headlights then you wouldnt exactly go deleting them. Im just going to put some better lights in the formula foglight spots but if I need them I can always reinstall the headlights.

Yea lots of people want the fixed headlights for the birds, but THE option is ugly, and way over priced. I have a design I think looks good. Maybe we could all sort of make a design that 90% likes and thinks looks good. I'll have to scan my drawing in. Heck I'll make the housing out of carbon and can get formed lexan for the front cover. I dont know where to start on the actual headlights though

New hatch interior side panels (the big plastic pieces with the 4" speakers) to accommodate 5.25" or 6.5" speakers. That would be sweet. Or even 6x9's etc. Or if possible just the part that the speaker would mount to. Then we can cut out using a template the correct area, screw it on and use a "stock like" grill to snap on over top to make it all look pretty much factory.

I have been racking my brain trying to think of a way for you to make those upper dash pads and not have the glare problem you mentioned, or a damaged in shipping hassle. I've always wondered why someone didn't make affordable, paintable, formed headliners (for all cars actually) but I realize shipping would be a problem with them as well. I know having a headliner recovered is not that expensive, but it is still something I have always hated since they came out with the glued on crap.

I also want to add that while I am not in the market for the Dick Harrell style front bumper you were developing for the LT1 cars, I appreciate the effort. I think the way that thread turned was pathetic. Try not to let the bad apples get you down.

I would LOVE a gauge pod mount thingy like this, one that replaces the factory gauge cluster bezel. It would probably end up covering some of the lower factory gauges, not sure if there's enough room to mount aftermarket gauges like that without covering something up at least a little bit. I'd still buy it though
