Foxbody Fever! 88GT and 90LX kit-bash build

[ArtChromer]

Bit by bit... Seats and belts are done. Kept the passenger side stock, and went with a grimy and not very safe 4pt. harness. This car is full of bad choices, inside and out.

Time has been a weird concept lately. Got some stuff done. Almost complete.

I got the 350/700r4 Chevy plant successfully swapped in, plumbed and wired. Master cylinder is plumbed.
Interior is buttoned up. Final details include things I envisioned from the start. Such as the busted window regulator and the lifeless sideview mirror...
Wired the Tach through the busted vent. I scratched out some interior trim panels for the A-pillars and roof lines to create a more substantial interior.

The headliner has been ripped out, revealing the hideous foam beneath. The broken taillights have had the tape treatment.

I'm going to be hitting the last details, some grime washing and calling this thing finally done... By far the most time I've put into any kit ever. I'd be afraid to know the actual hour count... I'll be back for a finish post. Thanks for following along!

How you put engine oil in that tiny plastic motor ?

Thing has been through hell, and looks ready for a return trip

Did you paint those rusted marks or that is real rust? I like how it looks on the side fenders.

I'll get a better pic, but I got coolant puddling on the intake, for that baked in smell!

I hope to build as clean as you one day. Until then, my gift is recreating junk!

Recreating is art! lookup the channel Small World and you will see what I mean. take some tips and tricks from him.
