nice job!! It finished the wheelwell off nicely. Also just a thought if you heat the plastic with a heat gun it should retain it's shape.

The first picture shows the butt-sag at the rear of the rear-quarter glass. it looks almost like a crease in the picture. The butt-sag actually aint that bad on yours. As far as the doors go none fit perfect!!! Also you have the earlier gt11 electric body the later ones had an airdam under the front. What is the extra cutout on the rear corner for? You have a nice body to work with compared with most i've seen!!

the airdam was differant on the gte also at least on the later models they made it different so it would except the steel battery frame. They also made the gte after they quit making the gtII

Hi welcome to the forum!!!! There are some really good people hear that knows about these cars fairly well So if ya have any questions just ask. Sometimes you may not get the answer you want but it will be an honest answer that will help you along the way. Maybe someone can help with your pictures too. I think you have to go through photobucket or another photo site.

In that case Skip why not make the top hinge with the side attached and the bottom roll up a track!! Would take some geometry but would look pretty cool. The vent window system like the stalker gt has would actually make it more enjoyable to ride in and you could always make the side glass removable too!!

Just say no Skip!!! It changes the lines of the bradley too much in my opinion!!! the bottom 10"-12" would look nice if you just used the center 4' section. I would have to use the original upsweep on the tail though if not it's gonna start looking like an ordinary ricer from the back!!!

I do believe the wagon back you stated was an option of some sort. I have seen a few others a green one stands out the most that was complete. I've also seen a red one sitting in a pic on the web.

I'd go with a subaru transaxle with an adapter plate for the sho engine. That way the engine would be facing the right way and you would have just enough room behind the seats!!! You could put the radiator behind the engine over the transaxle and the gas tank up front!!!

I'd say go for it if you have support with it!!! otherwiseif it's a single-handed project I wouldn't do it because it is going to be a lot of time and money consuming !!!! I would love to see it done though.

Hi f&s the car that you have here is an Invader gt kit car They can be built to look real nice. Look online at some to get some ideas. I have seen some with custom made half doors that really made the overall side of the body look great!!! The way they look from factory is a little bland but like I said can be done up real nice!!!!

great find they don't look the greatest in stock form but can be made to look really fancy with little mods in my opinion. You will be busy for quite a while. ;D

was gonna go the fiero route but there isn't any around this part in the right shape and price. However there are plenty of regal buick's cutlass olds and monte carlos laying around everywhere these days. I need opinions and thoughts on this one.

I have been thinking really hard about putting a chassis from a 78 to 81 monte carlo/regal buick/cutlas olds ;)under my gtII. I know i would have to shorten the chassis, but the chassis will sit under the car quite nicely according to measurements . What I need to know is will a small v-6 fit under the front or would i have to go the rotary or boxer route to get things to fit correctly . I know that Rob Stone you and a couple more of others have cut yours up . Was wondering if this is possible with maybe a small hood scoop. I wouldn't want to make it look like a dragster ;Dor anything i couldn't drive down the road and draw the attention of the law or pass requirements for the road . Thanks all, David
