Fantastic car, prossi.

 

 

Thank you guys so much for the nomination. Bought the car in 2014 after being out of a Thirdgen for 7 r 8 years. It was very mechanically sound but in need of body work and paint at around 90k mi. Car had started out an 89 Formula but PO had added ground effects so I stayed with that theme and replaced the warped pieces, cracked factory wing, and went with crosslace wheels. Also went through and replaced every bit of the suspension as far as replacing springs, shocks, struts,end links, etc.. all the usual worn out things. My father and my sons helped me with the paint and bodywork project which made it a lot more fun. Other mods ive done are 3.73 posi rear, S10 torque converter, shift kit, 3" Flowmaster exhaust system, custom chip, to name a few off the top of my head. I use the car to go to shows, cruise ins, and sometimes to church on nice Sunday evenings. It has been very fun and very reliable and trouble free. The 5.0 TBI engine runs very sound but I have an L98 on the engine stand now I'm going to tear down over the winter to replace the L03. Again thanks so much for the nomination. So many great cars on here

An '87 GTA with a Stealth Rammed small block setup for track use. It's kinda like my car but way better! Not to mention how in love I am with that suspension setup and center exit exhaust right underneath the rear differential. Prossi you have an amazing ride.

 

Are those exhaust hangers that are coming off of or by the driver's side seat belt bracket and then another in the rear passenger side seat area? Can't tell if that is what they are or something else?

 

Yes those are exhaust hangers andthey aren’t just screwed into the floor pans if that’s what your wondering 😁 there is reinforcing plates welded to the floor pans under the carpet with weld nuts on them so the exhaust can be bolted in and out but most importantly doesn’t fall off😛

 

dmccain, that car doesn't just shine, it dang near glows! Now that's a proper red

 

GM named it bright red and rightfully so. Thank you we worked hard on it. Six coats of clear it should shine lol.

 

I love that color also. When in the sun it will literally blind you! I know, that is the paint code I have. Great job dmccain!
Man this is a tough one, Prossi's ride is over the top but I also have admired how clean and nice you have keep that bird.

 

Prossi has a wicked hot-rod for sure! All these cars are nice.

 

All the nominees have put hard work into these cars so props to all!!

Also forgot to add my GTA is a digital dash car with dove interior and paint is originally gunmetal gray with 68k miles....I have to take some interior pics i

 

All sweet cars.

 

dmccain,you got my vote.

 

prossi, your car is GORGASE ,great job in the mods you made,you would have got my vote for Modified if this was a Stock Vs. Modified voting thread.
PS ,I think we should have a Stock and Modified voting thread for each month.

 

So you would change your vote if the title of this thread was different.

 

Very cool cars yet again !!!
