Something Special

When I first got my GT a couple months ago it was mostly stock except for a few minor modifications. Over the next few years I plan on beefing her up to around 500 horsepower with a brand new engine and upgraded components to handle all of the power. I will either go with a DART block or the Boss 302 block for my engine swap just in case I want to go with forced induction either of those blocks would be able to withstand the pressure. Apart from the engine I also want to do a 5-lug conversion and upgrade my brake system (brembo "Big brake" if able), lower it about 2", and put a stronger rear-end on the back. These are just the main modifications I want to make and hope it all comes out as good as I imagine. Please comment with your suggestions and thoughts to let me know what you think.

The GT looks VERY clean and I think what you plan is exciting. I love chrome. What are your plans to add some chrome, if at all? Maybe with the 5-lug conversion you add chrome wheels (if the budget allows, of course) :-)
