Awesome build Can't wait to see it all done.
Not to sound like a pain or anything but have you thought about painting the dist. cap black or something, just so it doesn't stick out against that beauty. I painted mine black because the red and orange just clashed.

not bad , not a bad view at all
Pictures do not do it justice, your going to just have to take my word for it.
All the gauge lettering is nice and bright white (obviously new ), instrument panel bezel was redone with all new chrome and lettering. and the wheel just sets it off .

Well, I got few pieces back from the platers last week. So once the shop move is done( are they ever )
I'll get back on it. With the goal to have this one completely done in the next 2 - 3 weeks.

As Dr Frankenstein once said......... IT'S ALIVE'

We fired it up last thursday afternoon.

Gotta fix an exhaust leak at the header evac tube fittings , Bleed the clutch and the brakes. Then it's a matter of pull it outside and shoot a short video for the owner.

All I can say is WOW 700 plus HP sounds REALLY good thru 3" TTI pipes.

With no issues the owner will be driving it about the 1st of May sometime.

till then , heres a teaser.

Dynamated the floorpans. And as an FYI, plan at least 2 times what you think it's going to take to do this stuff.

Once a few pieces of dash trim show up , the instrument panel/glove box area can be buttoned up.

I wanted to get the brakes bled and pull it outside today but it's been raining the last 4 days.

Is that an ECS carpet ?

You should freshen up the door latches...

Did you get a look at that wire I was asking about ?

Videos work, but you need to get that bad boy outside for a video! The sound stinks!

While I'm waiting on a video cable to show up so I get real videos off my camcorder to show up.
I'm putting the finishing touches on the interior.

All the seats came to me already done. So I can't take credit for those. But the original seats backs were in really sad shape. With new plastic seat backs, again already painted and hopefully ready to install.

These are the Palco products. And I've heard all the horror stories about fitment and was really worried.

But, I have to say I was plesantly supprised with how well they fit.

I glassbeaded all the original hinge covers and repainted them last week so they would be ready to go.

Other than the grain is weak in depth. But, Overall I have to say. Not to bad, and if your building a driver. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
