3000GT / Stealth / GTO - Car of the Month February 2011

I bought my baby in 2007. Car was bone stock. I drove to Albequerque to pick it up. Had a fresh engine and tranny build on it. Looked nice and fresh and decided it was a go. I went thru hell with this car, initially becoming a member of the spun bearing club, and then the tranny exploded...Got it all fixed, and then spun a second bearing. Took it to mitsu and then tehy did the same...with all new forged internals...3rd time was a charm and car runs like a dream... I have a 97-98 front end conversion with 99 headlights and GTO rear ambers. flows really well with the amber sidemarkers and rear markers. Had a custom paint job and I know alot of people say the 2g front end and 1g skirts dont flow, but I think the whole scheme flows well with mine. Rear 99 garnish fits the 1g rear butt nicely. Paint is a custom ruby pearl metallic with gold metallic in it, blacktop with the gold pearl in it also then a red Kandy over the whole car. Front mouth, side holes, side skirts and rear bumper all have the custom paint that the blacktop has. Looks amazing in the sun. Im sure many saw the paint thread I had up awhile back when it went thru all stages from strip to primer to paint in the booth. Nothing but great compliments on my car with this paint job. Well, after 3 builds, and over $45k later..... Alot of blood, sweat and money went into this baby and she is definitly spoiled Hope you enjoy!
