Making some progress there my man.
Keep us posted.:cheers:

So I got my car on the ground, installed the G link suspension I got from Frank @ Prodigy Customs. Wasn't to bad to install at all. I had a currie 9 " built. Now on wheels not sure what size to run yet. I will be using Budnik Triggers.

Few new pics 20x11 rear wheel

Very cool.
That should look really good.:thumbsup:

Jay
I like that wheel a lot. what is that one called

Tonny

Trigger

The pockets are brushed and the face and hoop is polished.

I still may get the centers done gun metal with brushed hoops....Still thinking haha

any updates on this car?

Finally got some pics uploaded.

I have sprayed the bottom with Liner, painted my housing, mocked up my rear brakes, started on door gaps.

Should have it to the body shop hopefully next month.

Going back to 18" wheels not sure what design yet.

Car and gaps look great Jay....:thumbsup:

What made you decide to go back to 18's?

I didn't want such a tall tire. I also wanna drive the hell out of the car, so I i figured it would ride a lot nicer with 18's on all 4's.

Well its been some time since I have posted.

Finally found someone to do the rest of the body prep and paint work for a really good deal. I will post progress pictures in the next few weeks. The shop is right next door to ours. It's nice to have the car walking distance so I can check it out every so often. The color I think I am going with is Matador Red Mica from the new Lexus color chart.

Good choice! That color will POP...:thumbsup:

Thanks..

Thinking of doing brushed rims with gray centers. Should look good.

Awesome!!! Keep us updated on paint.

what kind of red is the lexus? metallic, bright etc?

Tim the color is so cool. To me, Lexus has a lot of great colors and I'm surprised more PT cars don't take a hard look at them:

Cool color Jay! I think it is a 3 stage metallic or pearlescent paint with mica rock in it instead of powdered metal. Reflects AND refracts light unlike other metallics. Very glittery with cool illumination changes. It's a nice, deep red. BTW, love the build :thumbsup:

Some updates... Gap work, Welding the lower fender to the top. Shave the side marker lights. 18" One off wheel we just did that will weigh about 20 lbs after pockets machined in.

Who is doing the One Off wheels???? :D :D :D :D

Forgiato haha .

I sent a customer your way his name is Marc from Texas. He needs a chassis for a 56. He said he was gunna call you. Great customer.

Thanks, We have done a few of those.

SOMMMBITCH!!! :faint: Just when I thought I was going to be original someone beats me to the final paint. AWESOME Color choice dude...can't wait to see what it looks like. I agree...for whatever reason Lexus is always over looked. :thumbsup:

Few more pics. Been working on the front end.

My Buddy who was helping me with the car got in a very bad motorcycle accident so I may have to send the car out to someone get the rest of it finished. Trying to do get everything done I can myself to keep the cost down.

Put a new hood on, also top nose panel.

Jay,nice project.I Hope your friend will be OK.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Scott M.

Perfect color choice!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Almost got it done... Will post completed pics this weekend.

Merry Christmas!!!

Your car looks good. What grill did you use? I'm still kicking that up in the air.

Billet grill from Classic Industries.

Put on my new trunk Lid yesterday, Then worked on the front aligning all the panels.

Killer car is Alan give you any pointer?love it more pic:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Great updates.

He has only seen a little of the car. He will have too many different ideas for the car lol better to have it done then show it. Plan on autocrossing it and taking it to all the shows. Trying to get him to finally get workin on his 55. Told him he needs a chassis from Rodger "Ironworks". He cannot make his mide up but I said you can't go wrong with that stuff up in bakersfield Baby.:thumbsup:

Nice.:thumbsup:

Looks sweet buddy! Now lets get it up here!!

Making those arrangements. May just tow it out myself in the next week or so. :thumbsup:

I talk with Alan over the Thanksgiving weekend when his here in Boerne Texas he told me about the 55 I want to get some pictures of it.

Threw one of my wheel centers in a old Rim Outer to see how its going to look.

The center will be Ceramic Coated Gray with a Brushed Rim.

18x8 weighed 20.2lbs not bad

We changed the profile on the area, cut some weight.

^^^^ Badass ^^^^
