Cris, again, great thread. One of my favorites. Still waiting for you to pack up the shop and move next door to me.:lol:

Great updates. That machined logo looks great Cris!

Also got the the fender washers proofed.. Got a small production lot in the works.. Then I will send out a few to get anodized in different colors..

I love the design on the hardware! Just enough to look cool and different and not tacky at all.

Thank you sir! Got more coming.. Stay tuned!

& leave the great state of CA.. not anytime soon Lenie! your doing a great job so far..

Thanks Robbie :D See you @ SEMA!

Thanks Tony..

Cris, let's see some paint! :yes:

Sorry AL but the paint gods have been challenging us.. The blue is good to go.. but the flat black gets us with small bits of dirt.. when you color sand the clear we get a gloss finish.. I will get it.. but in the mean time It is fustrating..

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just WOW!!! This is gonna be one bad ass ride when it's done. :thumbsup:

Got the engine ready for drop in between the sub-frame.. Almost done assembling the sub....

sick as usual. like many others have said, i have now added more parts to my list.

The paint on this car is stunning. The blue with the black rear panel is awesome, along with all of other details that make this a really nice build. Great work Cris.

Thanks Tim & Carl..

Here is a rear shot of what the car is looking like.. Got most of the sub-frame assembled.. Got a few parts to paint for final assembly.. Started doing some asembly on the dash to see if the colors are working.. I think the center cross brace bracket on the firewall will need to be powder coated black.. The slamming of this car starts tomorrow..

Wow, very nice Chris, artwork..

Wow! Not often a firewall makes a statement like that. :thumbsup:

Agreed! I could hang that firewall on my living room wall! :unibrow:

Awesome build. Do you mind if I ask how much this project is going to cost the customer?

Nice Job! :thumbsup:

Over the top. The car looks killer love the firewall. :thumbsup:

looks great!

LOOKS GREAT!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Someone has been drinking some good stuff.

Thanks for all the compliments Guys!! It is finally starting to look like something.. I have so damm anxious for the last few weeks.. I just wantd to see all the custom parts we have made with detail.. So, far they are looking good..

Here is where I am here today! I didn't think I was gonna get this far today.. It was kicking me & fighting me.. I am going to dinner & have a few drinks! Not to many.. Have a crap load of work tomorrow

Karl- Just shooting to have the car done for SEMA will be great... but I do want the car shaken out before it goes to SEMA.. Hell.. We are gonna be fighting for the keys to who drives it to Optima!! :D

Wow it looks Awesome ! All those pieces you made look great against that color.

Cris,

Looks great of course.:thumbsup:

I really like the continuity of design you're achieving by having your own components manufactured. :cool:

Very nice Cris. Can't wait to see this bad boy complete. Looks great.

Attention to detail is second to none! Motor pic is the money shot! Nailed the industrial look with with the satin gray, black and stainless hardware! Is the top of the cowl gloss or just a reflection?

Good luck on the thrash and look forward to seeing it at SEMA!

Beautiful work guys!!!!! Is this a customers car or a shop car???

Skip- We have more small components coming for this build.. & plenty more in design that are coming for other builds..

Thank you sir! This is the look we were after industrial/Race look.. The colors & components are working great.. it is a reflection..

It is a customers car.. I got my shop car in the works.. we have been chipping away on it on the weekends..

Got the car car on the suspension yesterday.. It will be stagged center floor for assembly.. wiring.. & the interior panels are being done..

No billet trunk hinges?:willy:

What finish on the uprights?
 

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1567.jpg

Nice detail on finishing the stock Uprights. Did you powder coat or hard anodize them? Also did you press out and re-install the upper ball joint? Was masking the part a pain?

:unibrow:

good lord Cris. The progress is amazing! I need to get out there and check it out by any means necessary

Billet trunk hinges were not in the budget.. We need to leave some of it for gas money.. The trunk is not a focal point in the car.. so could not justify the cost for billet trunk hinges

The sub-frame is powder coated.. the rest is painted.. Gotta thank Jay/Jamess113 for helping on the paint formula for the grey & helping on getting correct flatting agent for the colors..

Masked control arms & uprights.. painted them

We will be expecting you soon Jeff..
