The Group 5 Project, Let's see where this goes Options

[tygaboy]

Because I don't have enough to do, that's why.

I've fallen in love with the Group 5 car that's recently been delivered to The Red Barn where we're going to give it a bit of love and improvement. This will be covered in various "At The Red Barn" YouTube videos.

This thread will cover that work as well as my attempt to build my own set of Group 5 body panels. You'll have to wait to learn what material(s) I may have selected, as well as seeing which chassis they go on. Well, and if I'll ever really do it!
Here we go.

Let's fix that hole in the rear of the trunk. The ribs were sourced from a factory trunk panel. This piece will be butt welded and metal finished so should look really nice. And it looks like the panel to the right will be modified and included as part of the removable section that runs from the trans mount cross bar, above the trans then up as part of the fire wall.

Hey Chris, absolutely love your workmanship and vids; stupid question time; the panel just forward of the trunk latch: isn't this where the chassis vin # is located? Are you going to transfer the vin or .....?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@T.Rick6 Hi Todd - Thanks for the kind words. The chassis VIN is stamped at the top of the passenger fender and that's still there. No identifying marks on that nose panel.
