Alright everyone... We only had 8 convertible nominated this month, so we are gonna put every vehicle nominated into a voting spot this month.

There are some heavy hitters this month in the 'vert COTM, so I'm gonna ask for this month if there is additional pics or information about the vehicles that might help people see why your nomination/car needs to win this month please post them up

iansane





Kat



shr00m

Vote wisely... you can only do it once, and once the vote is made it cannot be changed.

 

Can we post a video?

 

I think that would be fine.

To the rest of the nominees feel free to post up a little more about your cars, now that you have made it this far.

 

video please...lol j/k I already voted anyway so the video will not change my vote

 

I was gonna post either a dyno vid or a burnout vid haha

 

nice cars, had to go with Mr.Iroc Z

 

Here's a couple of pictures and a video of my 420hp/407ft lbs pull on the dyno. There's a couple other videos of the car on my youtube channel, one's a burnout, a couple of it idling, etc.


Most of the information on the car is in my signature. It's a 6.0L iron block LSx motor with a T56, a big cam with supporting bolt ons, full suspension, etc.

Dynos eh Good tuning tool.. I prefer this..

Much more fun.

Oh and I think four or five of the cars posted on here have been in GMHTP...

nick got my vote good luck

 

All nice cars but im with Mr. Iroc

 

I had it tuned while driving around town, the dyno was just for giggles. I haven't had it back to the track since the 10 bolt broke. I really want to get some times with the new rear end.

 

Wow. I'm suprised blueZ doesn't have more votes.

 

If you guys would like to see more pics of my car you can click on the link below. These are various pics of the car through out its life.

Voted and not for myself.

 

Looking at the results so far, I don't think this is going to be much of a competition.


5.3 LSx, 6 speed trans, GC weight jacks, bilsteins, camber plates, c6 zo6 14" brakes, yadda yadda yadda. How many of these cars have been totaled before? I know mine has!






Hehe, I use the hell out of my car everyday possible. And because of that I've got a bit over 230k so far.

Currently in the garage getting a full wire tuck, coil relocate, front mount turbo, reverse cowl hood, radiator dumped forward




Hopefully running and tuned by mid april.

Kat, I forgot about the GMHTP blurb! Ha.

Well considering it's going on the 8th year after the wreck and it's still not done, I'm gunning more for car of the next decade.

Car is a 92 Jade Green TA, and pretty much nothing on it hasn't been modified in some way or another. To see everything that I've done to it, check out the 8 page build log on my website:

http://www.ms-fbodies.com/jade_ta.htm

Just a few of my favorite pics:

First off a new never released pic of the current state of the door panels:



Tearing up the auto-cross:



Trunk stereo gear:





Back seat subwoofer box:





Hand made functional air box for the RA1 hood:



Current underside:



Pretty much full 4th gen interior hand made perfect fit a-pillars. Old Pic:



Again, best bet to understand the 8 year journey is to go here:

Thanks for the nomination,

Kevin D.

 

Tough month to pick... I picked iansane because his car turned me onto competition gray wheels. Just a very well set up car visually and mechanically.

 

Voted for BlueZee but Kat was my next choice

 

Wow... Too many sweet 'Verts in here... Makes me want to pick one up for my next project.

 

Way to many nice cars to pick from. Hell mine would be last on the list compared to all the others here cool to see I make the cut even if I dont win.

I really appreciate all the extra pics and video's guy's show off those beauties!

 

How about info on each car when posting for the COTM? I can see that some of the owners have but not all of them. If TGO is going to ask us to vote, then TGO should provide more than just a single pic. Or is this a "beauty contest"? I had my vote based on only the pics that TGO posted until I saw pics by one of the other owners. But based on that, I would still like to see the info on the other car as well. Basically....Give us info on ALL the cars or this is merely a beauty contest & not actually about the car.

 

At this point it's not 'officially' TGO putting all the pictures together it's still just BADNBLK. He's just one guy trying to build the camaraderie of TGO. Demanding pictures/info of every car would be kind of difficult since the nominations aren't made by the cars owners and he'd have to go track down build threads or try to get ahold of each member which could take a number of days. I know I have a build thread somewhere on here but it's by no means complete. Just my .

Replaced the 1/4



Primer bodywork done



Final.. This was in GMHTP.

 

I wish I could give all of this info, but as stated below I cannot spend a ton of time searching out each members build threads and pics. Each nominated member received a PM IF they had not already posted in the nomination thread, and was advised to put up more information and pics if they wanted.

Thanks man. JT and TGO are behind this project, but its still a project that we are gonna continue work the kinks out of. GET MORE PICS OF YOUR CAR UP!!!!

 

Wow I wish I had read all the comments before voting. I love the way Iansane looks that car is beautiful. Bt also shroom, wow. I love the 4th gen dash

 

Yeah that dash looks nice. Although I am not a fan of 4th gen interior plastic's seem cheaper than third gen to me. But all beautiful cars none the less

 

We are on the home stretch with this one! Lets see what the last few days of the month do to the voting here!!!!

Good luck guys!
