Hi guys,

Thought I would update what we accomplished today, as we worked our asses off and have the front nearly done. We had to cut the firewall on both sides to allow for more wheel clearance,

team helper!!!

Actually Awesome work on both but the GTR has obviously had a life time of hrs spent building it

 

[gunning1987]
