Title: WOW. AMazing TR!
Post by: SuperSix on January 10 2011, 07:43:35 AM: Stumbled across this on Cardomain - I am floored. One of the nicest TR's I have ever seen.

He guy is TUrbo2dr - apparently he's a member on TBS.com too. Has a turbo Malibu, ths TR, and converted a GN to an Aerocoupe! I'm not a huge fan of the Aerocoupe design, but damn, he made it look good.

TONS of pics on this link, I really like the dash conversion.

Agreed but it does look like he did good quality work to get it to fit

If anyone posts "it's an addadictomy!" I'm gonna scream.

Like I said, I'm not a big fan of the look, but I heartily respect the work, time, and effort that went into it.

Post by: Spoolin' on January 10 2011, 05:42:29 PM: I never was a fan of the AeroCoupe. The only thing uglier than that was those damn Grans Prix 2+2's.

I saw an episode of 'How It's Made' or 'Factory Made', and they showed how float glass is made - putting molten glass over molten tin. Badass!
