Taxman's 07 GT Convertible build thread

[Fullboogie]

Taxman - in your car I see all my cars, race cars, race jetski, etc. You not only want to do a "good" job, you want to do it better than anyone else. But it's not for showing off to the masses, it's so that every time you look at your car, you nod your head and say "yeah, my car rocks and I did it myself."

Not many of us around nowadays. Most people I encounter just throw parts at their cars and hack their way to a HP goal. Again, nice job, man. You deserve to be proud.

^ Agreed. I try to do same, just less yellow lmfao

Something I forgot to put in the earlier pictures that I think is a nice touch. About a month ago after I did the steering wheel swap, I took the time to restitch the wheel with yellow thread.

Real nice vert you have there and lots of great mods! You will love the added hp when you bolt that Vortech on!

Love the car man. Looks great. Congrats. One question, would really like to swap the 2010+ steering wheel into mine but can't live without my cruise control. Did you manage to find a way to hook the controls up and make them work?

Yes all the controls work, but unfortunately, this was where I had to defer and let a shop do that part. The radio buttons work also. There is a write up on one of the forums about how to wire up the cruise control. Just gonna tell you, the steering wheel is one of my favorite appearance mods and I highly recommend it.

Got some seat covers already made. Gonna pull my seats out while I'm doing my supercharger and drop them at the upholstery shop for the install.

Yep, our cars were a few rows back. Not a bad show, I think 80% of the cars were competing in the same class. LOL

Yeah just about everyone was in the Mustang or the 2005+ class. I was surprised to get a class win. There were some really nice Mustangs there. NTMC held that front row for my car club. They are a pretty good organization, and that was a pretty good little show.
