Thanks Rod, I plan on having custom carpet made for the floor and rear seat delete area. It probably wouldn't be beneficial to run that large of wheels for handling, but maybe one day I'll put some that wide on just for fun.
Very cool! I really want one but I don't know if I could justify having a transmission that costs more than most people's engine. Maybe if I was wealthy. I like what Holinger does also, they make really cool stuff. There's nothing cooler than sequential.

Just looking better and better Casey!

It's really taking shape Casey! Nice vision and execution. :thumbsup:

Looking very good Casey,I like it:thumbsup:

Fricken Awesome!! I like it. But you knew I would.

Not sure how I missed this thread but this car is a Beast. Nice job I like all the details you guys did on the build.

Looks great Casey, love the direction you are going with it!

Wow.. looking great my friend!

Definitely a stout brawler. Looking Good.

Nice build Casey. Just wondering about the shift lever. Is a 6" or 8" lever and is it Lokar shift lever?

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate it!
Thank you, It's an 8" from Longacre.

Looks Tough As Nails!!! Great Work!!

What shifter boot are you using?

Thanks dude!
It's the Carbon X boot from Joe's Racing. It's great quality and made of really nice material.

Just chewed through all 10 pages. Great job!! Quite the A list of parts you have. Keep up the great work!

Coming along nicely Casey.
Looks beastly.

X2. :thumbsup:

Casey,

Mark Stielow and you are Anvil's best CF front clip ads being on both of your great builds. :wow:

Things are starting to pick up a little with my project and quite a bit should be happening in the next few months. I recently had custom headers made for the car and I'm very happy with the way they turned out. I'm planning on getting them and the rest of the exhaust system ceramic coated black when I send some of my other parts to be powder-coated.

I purchased a rotisserie to make the final metal work, blasting, priming and body work a little easier. My dad and I are finishing up the final metal work right now. The body and the chassis should both be going to get blasted very soon and then we plan on starting the body work and paint. I am really looking forward to assembling the car. I also ordered a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine setup in black. You can see it mocked up in some of the photos.

Thanks!

The headers look great Casey. That rotisserie should make a lot of stuff easier on you.

I was wondering what happened to this build. This is one of my favorite.Glad to see your making progress still.

Casey we need some updates.

Nice car, nice metal work and ideas. Cant way to see it done, looks like it will be a blast to drive!

nice
 

Looking great Casey, what /who's Rotisserie did you purchase?
Thanks
Keith

After winter came up faster than I had hoped, my dad and I ended up doing all of the sandblasting for the chassis and body by ourselves in his garage in the temporary paint booth that we set up to do the blasting, priming, bodywork and paint in. I don't have an enclosed trailer and did not want to attempt to bring both the body and chassis out into the weather in bare metal. I purchased a sandblaster and we did all the work ourselves. The paint booth that we set up works great and once the body work and priming is finished on the body we plan to take down the poly that is currently up, thoroughly clean the floor and put up new poly so everything is nice and clean for base coat and clear. I actually debated not blasting the body because I was told that the car was solid and ready for paint by the guy who sold me the body. The windshield and rear glass channels were completely rotted out and the guy used body filler to fill in large holes and pits. There were also many other areas that were like Swiss cheese and he just smeared body filler or even seam sealer in some areas which was a pain to remove. Obviously I am glad we put in the work to blast the car even though he claimed the body was in perfect shape. Oh well I guess, it's completely solid now and ready to move forward.

Currently the chassis and suspension components are all painted and mostly assembled. I also had a few parts powder coated which turned out pretty decent in gloss black. The chassis is a low gloss black as well as the roll cage. The headers and exhaust pipes were ceramic coated in satin black. I'm really looking forward to assembling everything once the body is painted.

looks good Casey.

Looks great! Just came across your car posted on some instagram account, the comments were pretty funny.

Wicked combo
 

Lol saw that too!

Thanks guys!

Haha Thanks Vince, Great show!

The body is now on the chassis and some of the plumbing and wiring has been completed. Hopefully the engine will be running within the next few weeks. Almost everything is painted with the exception of the outer body. The plan is to get the car running and driving before finishing the exterior bodywork and paint.
