i think i will do the bumpers body color when i spray the trunk lid.

but not sure on the wing ?
i planned on powder coating the wing black satin to match the stripes i think leaving it raw alum. look or polish will stand out to much

the inner fenders im thinking of doing them in the black to match the hood and cowl area or powder coat them black wrinkle, also the front spoiler in the black.

im looking for a stealth look with this car instead of polishing ever thing i can like the Demon is

every thing (brackets) i can pull off the engine compartment will be powder coated black wrinkle to match the motor.

Go with that Bob

You are on the right track
Bumpers blue
spoiler match stripes
inner fenders match engine




Oh and looks AWESOME Jeff

Jeff,
That's pretty slick looking!
On an unrelated topic,is there enough room to drop the steering column down far enough to clear the studs and remove it with the dash bar in there?
I know you did not build that cage,It just looks like it could be an issue.

Can always cut the studs down, or remove, but if I had to guess it probably has something other than factory mounting under there.

Yes when Bob built it he left just enough room to take it out.I had to lower it down to fit the in cert in all 28 times till it was right.

Okay,that's what I was wondering.I thought he might need to move it to get the gauges in.I guess a guy could remove the wheel if he had to.
28 times? You must be getting quick in your old age,it would have taken me 50,and would not look that nice!

Frickin Sweet Dude

again very nice work Jeff

keep all templates, you will be making the same for my Demon

yes the column will slide right out and the steering wheel is a quick disconnect

thanks for posting pics

i didnt think i would take it this far, but im glad i'am

Definitely a show car!

Bob, in the beginning of this project, I told you this is your car and I would do it anyway you wanted.. here are some pictures of the core support totally wrapped with one piece of metal. I love the fact you don't mind pushing my limits right to the edge. This project has been a lot of fun and I appreciate the fact that you allowed me to be apart of it. Thanks

This thing fits so tight you really don't need screws.BUT I know how much you like those stainless button head screws so were going to add a couple.
