Progress has been slow the last few weeks. I didn't even get in the garage this past week end. I'm heading back up to Tom's shop next weekend to continue with the major body work. I'm concentrating on the interior now working toward a complete mock-up.
Any updates on your end? Primer???

The body on mine is now 95% ready for primer. It should be at 100% this after noon but the body guy is having surgery tomorrow so I guess it will be delayed about a week.
A few updates.
Vidal,
That gauge cluster is outstanding. The best I've seen. Very high end.
Keith
Agreed. That'll look nice as when its done.

Hey Vidal,
Thought I would pop over here and commend you on a fantastic job building your GTM. The upgrades you are doing to your interior are wild!! I wouldn't even think of attempting the stuff you are doing. There are some pretty special builds coming down the line. It's exciting to see how each individual pushes the limits and creates these fantastic machines. Look forward to seeing your GTM when it's finished.
Have Fun!
Brian
An Update.
Hi Vidal, Looking at the sway bar photos , did you have to remove the difuser to install the sway bar ?

A couple of Updates.
Very nice work Vidal. Keep the updates coming.
Thanks Hugo. I wish I could have kept everything as clean as your build.Quote:

Your car will certainly be one that raises the benchmark for future GTM builds.
Take care my friend.

Gentleman,
Thank you All. Your compliments give me motivation. It's time to pick up the pace. Especially after taking almost four weeks away from the build.

Some Progess
Some Progess.
Some progress made.
The diffuser is looking good! Where are the photos for the reverse lights? I'm curious to see how they are positioned/look.
Tino,
Look at the top edge of the diffuser vents. Vidal, very nice work. I like the stealth look of the lights.
Ah, very slick. I like that layout.
Thanks Gents. I wanted to all red taillights and the initial plan was to modify the body just outside of the diffuser to house the lights.
Nice, I had to look 3 times to find them.
Some more progress. I was able to spend most of yesterday in the garage with foam, resin, cloth and mat.
Some progress.
A few updates and some progress.
After two months........I some progress.
Some progress.
