Well, plans have changed! I am going to be buying KISSMYSSFIERO"S 88 coupe and doing the Northstar swap using it. And instead of parting out my 86 GT and am going to finsh it or fix it up and sell it. I am going to be painting it a Dark grey "like the new Monte Carlo" or a royal blue "like the 80's Iroc Cameros". Not really sure yet, but I was thinking about making this somewhat turn into a painting thread and show detailed pictures of what I am doing or have done and add all the info. along with me doing so. I am also going to be redoing the mirror mounts with a thicker steel and angling them down a little bit so they sit level. Then I am going to finish cleaning up the interior and selling the car.

I will keep you updated, I am also going to take some pictures of the progress on filling where the trim was "somewhat shaving it, but leaving the door handles on it", then I am going to prep it and paint it. I should start in a few weeks.

Man there's some impressive work out there!! I was just wondering...to fill in the 'trough' sort of speak,did you use the long strand f-glass [hairy glass] filler,and was it hard getting it flush with the contours of the doors/quarters?I do some body and paint as a hobby,but never tried shaving the trims...always wanted to try it..must look awesome. |

So far I have just made small drill holes about every inch and a half so the filler had something to hold to. I used a fiberglass type body filler. I haven't sanded it yet so I am not sure how well it is going to be to finish it off?

Aaron I just bought an 88 from PFF mall section. He is selling 2 88's I bought his GT without a motor and I am going to put the Northstar in there. So now I have a backup trans! haha So I can bet this one up, or maybe not?
