JJ Furillo with Ultimate Performance assisted me in acquiring the custom spec'd Aero6/Aero4 brakes including custom floating rotor hats. UP also revalved the dbl adj JRi dampeners. We went with the setup that he has experience with from his time tuning on the Optima USCA cars.

Dynamic Drivelines 3" Carbon Fiber driveshaft which made for a tight fit on exhaust clearance at full droop.

Haven't updated in awhile. Final cut and buff on the fenders. Lighting really changes the look of the stripe.

I have ARP 12pt SS throughout the build but primarily throughout the DSE suspension and drivetrain. ARP only goes up to 1/2" so I sourced and contracted custom 17-4PH age hardened SS 12pt bolts to match tensile strength in 9/16" for the front and rear DSE suspension. I will never look at $50 bill the same again. And you need about 14 btw with a 6-8 wk lead time.

Dash is about ready. Again no real switches in the build. The InfinityBox PDM system has worked great. Lights, windows, locks, trunk release, HVAC and stereo will all be controlled from an Ipad mounted in the center console.

The front end has been a fight as all the RS front ends are but the fit is going to turn out fantastic. Made a bracket to hold the DSE control box for the RS headlight doors.

We decided on a final project name change with the addition of the Merc engine to "Mercury Rising" sorry for the confusion...the old name just wasn't going to work.
