Be sure to stop by next time and ask for me. I try to always make time but it is tough since I'm working on the stuff. It's crazy how many people talk to me about this car. I can't wait to have it done. See you at the races.

Since I have a little bit before the Super Bowl I wanted to get a few pictures up. Here are some pictures of the car back in the shop after soda blasting the parts.

We found a few little sports that were rusted but all in all the base of the car was really clean.

Also here are 2 renderings that I had done about 2 years ago. They are both the same with a different color backgrounds to them. I just wanted to post them up and get some thoughts from anyone willing to comment on them.

I was thinking about changing the bottom color blue to a darker silver something a long the lines of the GM Cyber Gray that is on the Corvette etc... The car would end up being 2 tone silver. Something like a gun metal on the top and cyber gray on the bottom. I'm going to look into getting a rendering done that just to get a better idea. I will take any one's thoughts since we all know the paint can make or break a car and it is the hardest thing to make up your mind on. So feel free to tell me what you think.
Thanks Ed

Looks great Ed.
I like the colors that you have on there now. Maybe a darker blue to add a bit more contrast, in my opinion. Good luck!:thumbsup:

Once I got the shell into the shop the one thing that stuck out like a sore thumb were the cowl vents. So the only option to me was cover them up. Here is the process of the way we did it.

This was a little tough to make fit and follow the lines 100% but after a little bit of time on the english wheel this is what we got.

We did one side at a time to keep the metal from twisting and doing wacky things once we cut the area out and put the new part in.

Once we did that I think it just cleaned up the whole area and now it has a smooth look to it.

Once we got the metal work all done on the cowl area next was to put together the front clip. For that I choose the Chris Alston's Chassisworks G-Machine stuff. It is very high quality and was just what we needed. You can tell a lot of thought went into building the parts. Here are some pictures.

The Power Rack set up. This bolted in really nice and uses some really cool billet clamps to hold the rack on.

I wanted to have a coil over in the car so I didn't have to worry about the air side of things. I got the double adjustable Vari-Shock.

Also to make sure the car has no problems stopping I got the 14 inch Wilwood 6 piston brake set-up also made by Chassisworks.

Here is the whole clip built and ready to be bolted to the main body.
