Well I have been pondering this project a bit (while I should be studying) and I kinda want to combine some of the elements from the various G Bodies for the final look.

More then likely I'll start out by getting the thing running and going flat black and blacking out the bumpers and grills similar to this one.

Then will come the chasis mods including the reinforcements from the GNX, new suspension and update the brakes. Found out you should be able to use the rear disk brakes from a Trans Am so I can do that to get rid of the rear drums.

Over this time I'll be putting together a new engine (however if it turned out to have a 400 or 455 pontiac in it I might keep those and rework them). Also though if the car does end up with a Trans Am engine it would be hard to pass up on putting in a shaker as well. New manual trans will go in at the same time as new engine.

The last stage would be to get the looks down. More then likely I'll add flares give it a bit of a more aggressive stance (and look) similar to the ones on the GNX.

Then I'm almost thinking of swapping out the steel bumpers for the later aero front of the Monte SS

hmmm shall be an interesting beast that is for sure.
