thanks Eric!!!! You beat me to it...

Well, as you can see, she is all painted up, carpet is installed along with a rear sear delete box. Its a custom stitch job done through a shop Eric knew. I will say, and this is not a selling point, but Eric at VRE has a well rounded operation going on over there. He has been involved with every aspect of the build.

Anyways, back to me!!!!

The carpet came out really sweet! Seems to hug nice and its no too wrinkled, which i hate in carpets! Also, I believe it's a low weight one but I don't think it's gonna help much with this close to 4000lbs. slug! Well, I guess the i'm just gonna have to turn it up some more!

Reassembly should begin on monday. So I guess we are in the home stretch, then tune and some track time to evaluate the suspension and tire choice.

LaterZ!

I have some updated pics of the car. For now, she is complete for the exception of not having a trans./driveshaft in it. The trans is out getting touched up so we know its 100% before we proceed. FLT has it. Besides that, she is about 97% done and being prepped for the Autorama show in MI.

Let me see, anything else... OH, enjoy!!!



















watcha' think?!

Car is awesome,love the gauges and the roll bar but you lose 50 points b/c of the wheels.

Good luck on the new setup!

The ds is gonna run right along side the adj torque arm. I can see how the angle makes it look confusing.

thanks guys!!!! Eric is going nuts right now trying to get this thing finished so i'm sure the praises are most welcome!

Yeah, the DS will run next to the trq. arm... Also, i believe FLT is in IL but im not 100% sure.

Rice Killer: Yeah, the wheels is something that i want to do SOON, but the thing is that before V.R.E got my car, i just got those wheels.. previously i was running the silly stock z28 wheels! With that, the car has been in MI for two years now so i haven't had a chance to truly enjoy them. However, i know they're not the best looking wheels but they give me a chance to run some serious threads in the back without BFH the H. E. double hockey sticks out of the fenders.

Thanks again guys! Hopefully we get her all buttoned up for Autorama... laterZ!
