Wiring is next. Classic Recreations utilizes Painless Performance harnesses because, as Jason says, "They've never failed me." Of course, additional harnesses are needed for the fuel-injection and other aftermarket add-ons; they are adapted to the Painless harnesses with OEM-quality Weather Pak connectors, not solder and heat-shrink. Then the future G.T. 500CR is treated to Dynamat, up to eight boxes as the sound deadening material is applied to the floorpan, roof, underdash, and even inside the doors.
After the completion, each G.T. 500CR is run on a DynoJet chassis dynamometer for 70 miles before Jason or one his technicians takes it on a 15-mile drive. Leaks or other problems are resolved before delivery to the customer.
