Default Re: Resurrection of the Heart of a Beast

I always like to see things that just did not make it to the drawing board.
A Narrow body LT-5 Roadster. Good luck with the build.
The engine looks pretty clean, Might I suggest paint or powder coating while the engine is out.

George, Where do you live?

We live in Orange County, Calif.
GM did build one or more 1989 narrow body convertibles. This one is going to be a wide body.
We have a little check box on our driver’s licenses here in Calif. for in case of death what to do with our body parts. Attached is a photo of the donor car’s wide-body body parts.
I am going to clean all the parts before they go in, but not restore them.
And to quote a line from Lawrence of Arabia near the beginning of the film, “This is going to be fun.”

So you are taking a 89 Narrow body Roadster and converting it to a wide body?

Been wondering what happened to you. I have not found any data on any 89 narrow body convertable builds but there was one in the King Of Hill run in 87/88 as an 88.
