A couple months back I reached out to Clint over at The Shop and had him send me a set of his kick panels and also a package tray. I don't have all of the photos but impressed with the quality. I think they will look great once finished. These photos are just of them mocked up.

I don't have a lot of progress photos along the way but here is the almost finished product. I was able to get the housing centered up so that I could pull hard measurements for wheels. I didn't installed the third member yet but will do that and set the pinion angle once I am closer to getting the car on the ground. I still need to clean up the welds with a flapper wheel and get some primer on them. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7789/1...1c552e2f_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/481/18...a59cd3f2_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7793/1...98621f96_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7747/1...98b42933_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7775/1...39c38797_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7765/1...7a2005f2_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7729/1...41ce00a1_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8791/1...1b460253_z.jpg Ignore the "L" sticker. I was just using the rotor to pull the correct measurements for wheels https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/487/18...dd78de9f_z.jpg And last but not least I got my wheels ordered up this week. I changed them up a bit from my original plan. I went with a stepped lip and eliminated the exposed hardware. The wheels are Forgeline GZ3 with transparent smoke centers and polished outer. I ordered 18x9 for the front and 19x12 for the rear. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8781/1...423d7208_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7781/1...a926188b_z.jpg |
Good call on going with the hidden hardware on the wheels. I like the clean look and went that way with my Rushforth Night Trains. Looks like you have a good foundation and list of parts to start with.

Love how clean your shop is and your attention to detail on all of the items you've shown so far. Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

The Raptor liner came out great. The torque arm looks ready for action. I like the hidden hardware on the wheels too.
|
You are doing a great job. Work looks great. Really like the wheels without the hardware.

very clean work!!!

Any more info or pics of how you did your drip rails. It looks really good.

Very nice work on this build! Great idea with the shaved drip rails...looks real clean. I bought the kick panels from Clint and wondered what the insulation is/was for? The speaker pods are sealed, so no worries about it getting wet...... is this for sound deadening? I hooked my system up and gave it a "test" run and thought that the front speakers sounded a bit odd. (echoish/boxy) Not sure if I need some adjustment, or should I have used the insulation??
