That's some pretty sick work bro, love the molded rockers. I've got a set of the BPP one's sittin in the garage but haven't yet installed them. Good to see another young guy on the forum!

The Pics don't do it justice.

I got a close up and personal look at it Sat. The red pin stripe is killer

Peace

That car is outstanding. I don't think Gary would let a car leave the 'barn' if it was not up to his standard.

Yeah i think the 6 month boat trip got to your head (pocketbook), then you get back and see the amazing GBvette sitting at the barn and soon after a Targa Z being made and 7 days after that a convertible Z roll out of the barn... i don't think that you had a choice, the choice was already made to do a overhaul on the FRC. When all was said and done though it turned out 5.0 for a 3.0 guy Simply Amazing Casey, Gonna miss you, but i do have plenty of room for family in TX

I've been lucky enough to meet Gary and some of the gang when I stopped by to see Brian (Cobrab4) when his project was in process.

It was about a 700 mile round trip and I went down with my brother (Tim). I only wish I lived closer.

Congrats on your finished product, that is one fine looking FRC.

I just added a few more pics to the first page. Thanks for all the compliments. I'm glad all the long hours and late nights finally paid off.

Car turned out great. I wish I lived close to GBVETTE looks like all the work from his shop is top notch. My friend fueljunkie just finished his FRC /Targa conversion and was inspired by GBvette. Anyways your car looks great. !
