Ever hear the phrase “Don’t hate me because I am beautiful “? Certainly applies to everything that you have shown us. So very great!

Nice build..

You may want to let the shop know that the trans cup washers are installed upside down.

Hey Luke the upside down cups might be a deliberate choice.
It could be done to provide stiffer location of engine / trans for improved shifting etc.
Beautiful work all around.

This is quite an inspirational GT build. This especially true for me as I move forward on my own GT conversion project. I love the attention to detail and correct historical accuracy.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Thank you, that's exactly why they're installed this way. Appreciate the kind words... and thanks Tom, the effort is worth it.

More detail of handbrake install. Thought we may have to modify 911 cables, but stock ones fit perfectly. This mod was way easier than anticipated, mounting plate for adjustment and a small bracket to keep the cables away from the headers.

Will also be wrapped with heat barrier.

Getting close. Off to the trimmer for interior and exterior finishing touches. Afterwards, final tune and shakedown, can't wait to hit the country roads around Highlands NC this June. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
