the start of my LS1 conversion:

crazy top chop !!! will be interesting to see what it looks all painted up !

Where do you get a windshield now?

Very interesting! Will those rear quarter windows be some kind of cooling ducts?

CRAZY CHOP!!! I LOVE IT.:eek:

Are you going to use the turbo wing? I think a carrera wing would fit the sleek style more than the turbo. Just my two cent.

GREAT JOB

This should be interesting....getting popcorn, sitting back and watching...

Interesting start...can't wait to see where this goes.

I can't take my eyes of the photos.... !!!

Subscribed and looking forward to following your progress!

I like the customs. This could be special if all done correctly.

Is the other 1/2 of the body work to put a new proper canopy on it?

Looks like the poor thing has been scalped.

I hope I'm not offending you. It is not my taste, but certainly seems like you know what you want. I commend your efforts in making it yours.

subscibed and want to see that LS1 in action, at the pace my build is going you will probably be up and running before me :)

18" wheels with that chop top would look evil..

Subscribed, is going to be a unusual project. Want to see the outcome.

I am cutting my own. I have a friend who has the right equipment to cut down the stock one.

I hope to be running and ready for paint by late winter.
i will check out the wheel sizing.

Wow.. did you consider a 935 body? Would have really looked like a Le Mans refuge... awesome.

Still good luck with going your own way. :)

you've been busy James, nice progress! I can see why you haven't been able to ship the seats.

I wouldn't go with the side scoops, but I like it, looks mean. Hope you are going with black or a black purple.

Slightly different take on a famous custom Porsche? was the Mulholland RSR your inspiration for the porject or a coincidence? Could be a cool outcome. I'll keep my eyes open for your progress.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1257433846.jpg

Just a coincidence. never saw that car before.
the top of the windshield looks off on that chop.
however it my personal opinion that the lowered roof line and racked windshield looks better.

When someone says V8 around here, people typically react a little more harshly than if you'd peed on their shoes and slapped their wives.

Looks like a cool project.

With your skill at bodywork, I hope you didn't start with a pristine turbo.
