That's an Evoque, right? I've always thought those were cool mid-size SUVs.

Mike it is the Range Rover Evoque!!! Very bad azz ride! Can't wait to go for a ride in it Marty :hello:

It's hard to believe but 5 years ago we bought a Mazda3 for my wife to drive into the city and for me to haul my bike around on weekends. The car was great when my kids were small and no longer worked well 5 years later. So my wife & kids decided we needed to replace it. Plus I could no longer stand listening to them complain so after a Doctors appointment (last one for 4 months) we stopped at the Dealer.

The first dealer was trying to convince me how rare and hard to find they are then I saw there inventory of 25 + so I said they can't be that rare. He made a snide comment and I just laughed. They even told me there nearest dealer just bought two from them yesterday. So I went home and found 125of them within 25 miles of my house. I kinda laughed because I just love car salesmen and I new he was lying.

The sales person called bright and early and I told her I was heading to the other dealer because they had 12 and I was going to see what they would offer. After our conversation ended she must have gone to the sales manager because all of a sudden them came down another $1,750 and increased my trade $500.00.

When I went to the Naperville dealer they came in $2,000 less then there offer. In then end I bought it from the Naperville dealer for $5,000 less so it was only a $6,000 more then a fully equipped Chevy Equinox.

The part that sucks is I only drove it home and haven't seen it since. Seems my wife really likes it.

Good Afternoon,

The guys started running the brake lines under the car and it looks like Kenny test fitted the seats.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9046c5c-me.jpg

Yes we powdered coated the Tiger Cage, sorry Bret. The funny part was it was already in the car and Kenny had to pull it back out
to powder coat it red. I bet Kenny called me a few names.

Here is a picture of the fenders going on so we could test fit the new GoodMark Industries hood. (Sorry about the picture Quality)

GoodMark was kind enough to take care of us on the Syborg project and in my world if someone takes care of you, you stand by there
side. So we purchased a new 2" steel cowl hood from them and the fit was spot on. We couldn't be happier. Scroll back up to see how
it looks on the car or wait till tomorrow and I will do another post with the hood on the car.

##### Still looking for this picture #####

Marty, I am sure Kenny was cussing up a storm having to take that out. Looks good in red. I am taking my 70 to the Goodguys Pleasanton event next weekend for its first trip. I will add some pictures to the thread on it once I get a chance.
Looks like your wife just got a nice ride.

Keep the progress pictures coming, you covering that dash yet? :thumbsup:

I am betting you are right and yep the dash pad was covered in leather. However he had it done with red stitching and the seats have white stitching so that is getting redone as we speak.

Good Afternoon,

The front end is going together and Kenny is test fitting the Anvil Closeout panel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c78712b-me.jpg

Not really liking the stock inner fenders. So we ordered up a set of Carbon/Fiberglass one's from Anvil.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...88d00c0-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8ceec84-me.jpg

Kenny installed the Fesler Trunk Hinge kit and said it fit perfect.

Kenny and I agreed that the stock hinges needed to be upgraded. A quick call to the
good people at the Ring Brothers and a new set of hinges were on there way.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6ab0bb3-me.jpg

Kenny wanted to come up with something different to mount the radiator and when you see it finished it looks perfect.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...71156ef-me.jpg

Kenny dropped the DSE closeout at his buddy's to have it water transferred. The goal is to match some of the carbon fiber that will be
in the engine bay.

Good Morning,

Our goal is to add as many little details to the engine bay as possible without breaking the bank. Kenny suggested we pick up
some Rastners from Rad Rides by Troy.

Good Morning,

The guys at Kenny Davis Hot Rods Installed the Anvil Carbon Fiber Inner Fenders. These inner fenders will allow us to run larger front
tires when we upgrade the chassis and wheels & tires combo down the road.

Once you see the Custom Works Carbon Fiber Valve covers on the motor it is really going to help the look in engine bay.

We are still looking for some billet covers for the stock ls coils or I am just going to buy the Red MSD coils.

waynieZ 08-23-2013 01:01 PM

They look nice in there.
