Jims69,
I just thought I did throw it up there for opinions. I knew it would require alot of work to make it work. Since the 550 is front engined its not as bad as some people might think. From what I am seeing and what I know the place to start would be to buy the base firebird, and the drive train and measure everything, mock everything, blah blah blah. this was not going to be a summer project, this was over the course of several years.

I would say it would be an awesome project and car in the end but it would be alot of blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention the cursing and the money to pull it off. I'll think about it, maybe acquiring a vette and a viper in the process.

If I do end up with a 550 as a whole car then maybe I will go back and forth between the TA and the Ferrari with a tape measure to see if I can do it.
