Gary will become famous soon enough
Rodney's at it Again

Check out his new Impulse front end conversion that he's adding to his widened GT. The pics are in his Killer Tx GT members gallery.

Killer Texas GT is on a distinguished road
Talking

I'm just tring to keep the track right. Rear to Front. Besides getting over the hill I decided I needed some help steering the 1800 lb. Widened Texas GT so the power steering went with it, and to get the over the hill belly under the steering wheel, I installed the tilt steering wheel. That is what happens when you been playing with these Opels for 32+ years. I wll put aout some more pictures and write ups of how it was done, and what the results of the independent front suspension works

I'd like to learn how he put hips and shoulders on a GT. An extra 4" of seat room would be nice too, but that'd require splitting the car down the middle.
