Hi just joined forum , ordered my GTM manual so I can go over it and start planning

I am coming to Novia Scotia via a cruise this summer, sorry my GTM will not be with me. Any pointers?

[garypace]

Hi Taz hope your weather is better there then it is here , Do you have your GTM on the road yet?

[garypace]

Hi Kalstar lots of nice spots to see I'm in Cape Breton hows your GTM looks like you have a lot done, I work in Alberta so I don't have the time to build so I have a builder doing mine going to Halifax in two weeks to plan it out what I want.

I don't have a kit yet. Still in the hoping stages.

I've been doing some photoshop renderings for some of the guys to help them get visuals. PM me if you need a hand.

Pulled it home tonight in my trailer, goes to the interior shop on Tuesday. I would say 90% done.

I was like you and sub'ed a lot of the build, my time is tight too but make sure you leave yourself some time to get your hands dirty. If I was doing this car by myself it would have never been finished, that said I have about 300 hrs of my own time turning wrenches, sanding seams, riviting, and handing suspensions. Add the planning time and deal shopping and I could have 1000 hrs over my 4 year journey. This hobby has easily been worth every penny and every hour I have devoted to it.

I'm going down in two weeks to sit down with my builder and start putting it down on paper, these cars are 50% planning and 50% building. I build giant scale rc planes part time and they take a lot of planning and back round work and I love doing them, when I retire in two years i'm going to do them full time

[garypace]

Thanks Taz do you have some pictures I could see I have most of it planed but the color I'm going to keep it a light color not sure yet

[Taz Rules]

Here's a link to a thread that shows the kind of thing I do

Great, I'm trapped. Can't run to the West, or the East now. The Canadians are taking over!

17977 I like this one I'd like to see it a little darker . not starting mine till fall of 2014 I have a year plan it out , I want 500 hp new crate engine and we have a lot of windy roads so I want it to handle them at higher speeds , and when I'm on the high way I'd like it to have a nice ride,

I am not far away im in Newfoundland. I am at point of rolling gen2 chassis taking my time and using all new parts except for motor mount plates and telescoping part of corvette column. Waiting for my mendeola to arrive and then takin ownership of ls376/525. Hoping to see it moving as a cart by end of summer. Just came up with better solution for telescoping column which allows it to move as freely as stock corvette by welding back the section of outer column which has the actuator mount and putting a piece of half inch plate in between the column and bracket in dash. Out of things to do until trans arrives. Crate engine harness looks more engineered towards front engine car and also have to switch intake which will flip around those wires as well. If u have any questions drop a line I would like to see your sometime in Halifax. Passed by there before but never went into the city. Was tring to catch the boat on way back from factory five and ended up getting stuck at north Sydney on warf for two days.

Hey garypace
Welcome to the ffr world

I am in new brunswick and just finished my coupe (its in the bodyshop until July)

Not to be a wet blanket, but before you spend any money , you may want to have a chat with the inspection engineerm the rules have tightened in NS, and you may want to make sure its a doable car.

[garypace]

Hi Chris my builder has a inspector coming in after each part of the build to check it .

Oh damn, I want one of those RC's! Are the girls included too?!

Studying for PPL, and working in Avionics. I think I like you better now. Maybe I'll run East, instead of West (sorry Ash).

I wondered how long that would take!

Nice artwork. You are very talented.

[garypace]
