If I were to make it a 996 cup car or gt3rs, it would have been just repairing the car and change two bumpers. No custom work, that is a repair that most professional bodyshops should be able to do. 90% of collision repair facilities wouldn't even want to mess around with a conversion like this, but to my shop it is inspiring repair that can make any other collision repair seem like a piece of cake.

I completely agree with you Joe. I too own a bodyshop and it becomes very repetetive to do the usual. In my shop, I do alot of old muscle car and some euro car restorations (mostly my own personal stuff). I recently finished a 1950 chevy coupe, 1975 triumph, and working on a '79 mb sl cab. Lots of fun restoring and actually great resale value. I applaud your creativity and cant wait to see the finished product, keep up the good work
