Thanks guys!! It's coming together nicely...

Great color!

The body is back on the chassis for the last time and final assembly has began. Here are a few random pics of what going on.

Awesome. The fun part begins!

Assembly continues!! Bunch of small, tedious stuff going on. Installed gas tank, front windshield and blacked-out molding, dash pad, NOS lenses and recessed marker bezels, door handles and locks, Kindigit spoiler, Gear FX, convertible top frame and Nu-Relic power window regulators. Next up on the list is installing Ridetech coilers, Baer brakes and hope the Guniwheel rollers work with the huge brakes and it rolls at whatever the ride height is.

It’s a beautiful thing Marcus , enjoy the build . You may miss it once your done

Right Frank!! Luckily I have a C10 in waiting to do next. After that, all of my retirement will be spent. :lol::lol::waveflag::waveflag:

That's looking so sweet! I love the dash and pad. your on a roll now.

Looks great Marcus. Final assembly for me personally is the Funnest part of the entire build process. This car is going to rip!

Appreciate the love guys. Car should be home in another week or so...depending on when I can go and pick it up. It'll sit for a while after this before getting the interior and convertible top done. I'm broke now. Gotta recoup on funds. Beside's it's time to pay my property taxes at the end of the year and I also got a dirt bike to buy my son for Christmas.

Car is turning out amazing! Your choices are so spot on! You have got to be enjoying this part of the build.

I remember my first dirt bike, no greater feeling...and then finding out from all the neighbor kids that my stepdad had been riding it around the neighborhood for a month before and nobody told! :lol:

Jeff-

Yeah Jeff, he's gonna be very surprised. I promised him one last Christmas, but I didn't think he was ready for one. He'll be 9 in January, so I figure I'd get it. Ever since I said I'd get him one he hasn't let me forget it either. All of the other little boys in the neighborhood has them. Although, they're a few years older than him...like 10-12, but they got them around his age. So, he's been watching them ride for a few years and he's ready. As a matter of fact, I have a meeting at the motorcycle dealer today to discuss some options, etc.

lol

Those are the ties that bind!

:thankyou:

Good, bad or indifferent...anybody have an opinion or any insight on Stainless Works mufflers? I'm considering getting them.

A memory that will stay with him! I still remember the Christmas I got mine! It was sleeting outside and I fired that bish up right in the living room! :excited:

Epic!! I know the feeling. I remember when I got my Honda CR-80 myself. That was the best feeling in the world.

The recessed marker lights and key locks look great. Great idea too. I may need to try that on my TA.

They are LOUD. I had them on my CTSV with 2" ARH headers into 3" exhaust and tried shutting them up with 20" Vibrant resonators and that took maybe 3 decibels out of them. I ended up taking them off, they droned bad and were stupid raspy. They did sound rowdy though...

Thanks Trey!! I like the added look. You can get them at Holohan's Hot Rod Shop.

Thanks for the info. I don't want anything super loud. Just want something with a nice deep tone and rumble. Also looking at Spintech oval tubing exhaust. I'm gonna need something low profiled that'll fit in tight spaces.

Spintechs are going to be loud also Marcus. I went to YouTube and listened to sound clips for literally hours after the first set of mufflers on my Chevelle turned out to be way too loud and droned like crazy. I ended up with Borla Pro XS. No drone and not too loud either.
I got Brandon a TTR90 for Christmas when he was 10. Hid it in the office Christmas Eve. He opened everything and we had cleaned up the mess. Thirty minutes later, the wife went in the office and shut the door. She got the camera rolling and called for him to come in there. He walked through the door and there it was, with a big silver bow stuck on the seat. Total surprise. You should have seen his face. I watch that clip from time to time for the smiles.
He rode it through the garage walk-through door two hours later, prolly going 15-20. Scared me to death, but didn’t even scratch him. Good times...

Thanks for the exhaust info Scott. This is a big decision on what to go with. AS far as the dirt bike talk, I can only imagine the joy and elation on his face. Ahh...the memories!!

Definitely have a camera filming the reveal moment for future reference. They grow up fast….

Almost there. He should be coming home this Friday. Next up...on to wiring, exhaust and wheels. Will be using Dapper Lighting headlights with the HDR switchback amber LED halo that blinks and turns the headlight off on that side when blinking and then the headlight turns back on when completing the turn.

Daaaang! Nice update... cars looking great. Can’t wait to see it rolling on its own rubber.

Appreciate the nod Curtis.

Looking sharp. Love the hood vents.

Daniel

Thanks Daniel. It'll be a while before it gets to interior. But it's slowly coming together.

Fantastic car all around, really liking the CF mirrors.:thumbsup:

love that blue

Appreciate the love guys. I keep staring at the pics as if they're gonna change. :headspin::headspin:

Appreciate this Marcus! Been trying to find a headlight/blinker solution for my own project and did not know about these guys..

Jeff-

Yeah Jeff, they got great reviews and I watched them and followed them for over a year or so before I even got started on my car and asked several people through pm/dm's and all were satisfied with them.

All buttoned up. He's coming home this week. Just need to find time to go pick it up. Next up on the list...wiring, wheels and exhaust. You can see the variation in the paint and how dark it looks in dimmer light (or even darker at night) as opposed to the way it flops in the sun.

Looks perty in the daylight.

Very Nice!
I saw the smaller pictures on IG with my phone. These large ones are much better!

Going to be awesome!

Thanks Joe...I'm beyond happy with it. I was a bit worried at first, just ordering the paint and not doing any color sprays, etc. I was praying it wouldn't be a nightmare because looking at it on a computer and what it turns out to be in real life after its sprayed can be totally opposite.

Ho. Lee. Cow Marcus. That’s sic! Absolutely killer so far.

Thanks Scott. It should be sitting in my drive way tomorrow. I may just sleep outside in the garage with it. :lol::lol:

Don't laugh I would lol

looking great! do you have the wheels for it? cant wait to see it on its wheels.
