Create a GNX clone?

[TurboTnZ06]

So I got to thinking, I always wanted a GNX, even sitting in 9th grade English class in 1991 reading about GNX's, and then in 1993 dreaming about converting my 1985 Bonneville 3.8L 2bbl with a top speed of 87 mph (interesting indicated top speed wasn't it?) into a LC2 conversion... Today my 87 GN driver car is pretty much all stock, high miles, it's not really a big money low mile collector example now or even to keep as an investment for 20 yrs from now, so why not make a full GNX clone out of it including the gauges, suspension, and sheet metal cutting? Probably throw on some dark charcoal 18 inch ccw's and drop it a couple inches and just have fun with it.

Hey JD, everytime we're at the track this is all I see! A GNX/clone looks really good, how's the saying, if ya can't beat 'em join 'em?

Trying to put together a cost estimate, I think I found all the exterior related items at kirbans and gbodyparts sites but can't seem to find a dash anywhere, is anyone making those as plug n play even with autometer gauges and not SW?

What about the rear suspension? That has to cost some dough! No clone is really complete with no ladder bar. I would be one of those d!cks that would look to make sure too.

Richard Clark is selling the GNX spec ladder bar system as well. Can you keep the GNX badges off of it?

I have to say I dont like the way the fender flairs look maybe if the tires fit and were even with them ,but to me it looks like when you put the spair on a car . it makes it look like the wheels and tires dotn fit the car.

I agree i'm not a big fan of body mods on these cars,they have such a clean,(now iconic) look that adding to it ,is taking away from it. imho
But now power mods,thats a whole different story.
