Amazing. My first car was an 87 GTA Burn Metallic.

I love your wheels, and the car is sexy with the plane.

Nice Ride!

That looks awesome. I wasnt sure about the rims at first but the more I look at it the better they look.I do have a request though, I would like some pics of the hood to see how it is clearenced for the HSR, Im doing the swap this winter and was wondering how it will fit under my stock hood.

Verry Sharp looking both the GTA and the CESSNA

I wish I would have got some shots like that when I worked at Ratheon.

this is the best pic i have. i can take some more if you want somthing better.

you can see the brace that i had to remove. with that brace removed the TB just fits. and i meen just! i had to also flip the gear clamp over for the duct so the screw part was on the bottom. it was that close

thanks, thats a great pic and exactly what I needed. I didnt realize it was gonna be that close, Im doing the swap this winter and was curious as to how tight it actually is. have you ever had it hit the hood when the engine is torqued up?

Trigger, your car looks absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't wait to see that thing in person. The pictures leave the car looking so clean, the paint looks flawless. And the rims compliment it perfectly. The 18" rears do look huge on these cars.
