Guest JAMIE T Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Kit Car Illustrated is starting a 250 GTO build up in its Last Chance Garage section, I am Very excited to see this kind of press right at the time I am starting my GTO project. Not ANY usable(i.e. technical) info in this months issue though . The last build-up in this series took 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pparaska Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Come on now, Lone. You know if I was helping it would have been 13 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Kidding aside, your car is so well done it makes me cringe to even want to put up pictures of my upcoming swap. (which will be Chevy, I finally listened to my wallet and it screamed 'go Chevy dude'). So smallblock, 6sp. as soon as Uncle Sam releases my taxes (any time now.. God I hate waiting for stuff..)...

pparaska Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Lone, dude, you're building a car, but I built an obsession. The difference is mine took a decade, yours will take 1/10 of that! Thanks for the compliments! ------------------ Pete Paraska - 73 540Z - Marathon Z Project pparaska@home.com Pete's V8 Datsun 240Z Pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Keller Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Give Pete some slack! I'm just starting my car and may give him a run for the longest car project. It seems like a lot of information is available on the GTO conversion. I came across a couple of write-ups from Kit Car and a factory manual for the old Alpha GTO conversion. If you are interested in copies, I could run them off at Kinko's and mail - would pass along the printing/mailing costs. Beautiful car in its own right.

TomoHawk Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Higuys, I had a copy of KitCar when they did the Alpha 1 buildup. I think it was back in 1983? Does anybody know the exact date or issue? I can't find my original magazine, and I'd like to see if I can get a new copy (backissue) from somewhere. I met a really cool guy that restores Rolls Royce's, and he want to help with my "McBurnie kit." It would be nice to show him some photos of the build from the original magazine build, or maybe a recent build. thxZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
