Man, things are happening quickly! Brian was by on Friday and we basically trimmed all the fiberglass panels and gapped the car, molded the bottoms of the extended fenders to fit the rockers, bodyworked the whole car and knocked it down to 220 grit. I'm doing some small cleanup work and then 320 so its nice and smooth for the wrap.

Got the gauges installed and verified they work. They look awesome in the car! This week I have Bret helping again, so we can get the dash buttoned up and the bottom pad on. Well do the carpet and thresholds, figure out a mounting solution for the rockers and fenders and get the rear hubs and brakes installed (assuming I get the darned hubs) It gets wrapped next tuesday and we should be test driving by wednesday!

Got a bunch done this week. Unfortunately fedex decided that my hubs needed to get delayed so it still isn't driving. But we got the led headlights and led fogs installed and working. Lowered the front. Got all the trim pieces painted flat black. Painted the thresholds with black bedliner. Replaced the hazard switch. Fixed the wiring for the headlights and fogs. Etc. I'm heading out for the weekend so Tuesday well be installing hubs and bleeding brakes while the car is getting wrapped.

Thanks guys. The light seems pretty impressive I can't wait to see it at night. The white knob is probably temporary but it does have the Ford Toploader pattern on it which matches this modified trans

I am talking with Stepan at gts seats. Debating on the Lemans or the Watkins Glen seats. He sent me a bitchin pic of a matching plaid and a copper colored houndstooth for the seat centers. Any opinions on one seat or the other?

I am leaning toward the lower left plaid or that copper houndstooth. Thoughts? The seats are close to these ST seats but they have an integrated headrest

Great work, fast and looking good! Only one complaint- my neck is getting sore from the sideways angles of your pictures! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
