VERY good advice. You will regret the trade in the end.

But the wife said to go check ot out- so I plan to. I want to do a clone- so I don't feel guilty for modding the crap out of a real Goat.

I agree about the keep the car, buy the porterbuilt route- this is my plan. The porterbuilt front end is 95% bolt in. Unless the car is trully worth less than the cost to do it right, I can't see any GTO in even decent shape is worth an air ride suspension. You'll NEVER get the money back out of the truck. But the GTO's value will never go down.
Ya I agree with you, doesnt matter what I do to the truck the value will always be the same, as the value of the gto will continue to slowly rise.

Haha, you make a point, but the reason im not on any GTO forums is they are all hardcore about being numbers matching, if I want to put an LSX motor in the GTO then so be it, but these guys come at you with pitch forks and torches. When in the end Pontiac Designed the LSX

just a thought !
As it is now, If I was to get rid of it I could get enough to buy the front and rear drop member and still have some left over. The only value it has, is its the first car I bought with my own money, no help from mom and dad did it all by myself. People have always told me I should just get rid of it and I wont ever finish it, I think thats the reason why I hold onto it. So I can prove them wrong.

Ya I think your right, I sold a car a few years back that I shouldnt of ever sold. I still kick myself in the ass for that one. And it was just a buick regal that I was going to be turning into a GNX clone.
