Where are the center caps on the front wheels no wonder you didnt win:cheers:

The center caps will not clear the hubs. Slight over sight when Ty ordered brakes and wheels a couple years back. Wheels are coming off today to be sent back to Rushforth for new centers in the front with a thicker pad and a little less back space, rears are also getting tucked in .75"

My 'bird will be home soon!!!

Just gotta do some small projects like place/install the power window switches where I want them, swap out and install some more gauges (trans temp/oil temp/D-PIC) we got from Autometer (in the map pocket area) and she'll be done/done!

Sending the wheels back to Jason next week to get the backspacing adjusted since we have more room out back with the BMR suspension than with the stock springs and then find/fix a rear main-ish leak (probably just the oil pan gasket - hopefully) and a couple other little things and she's finally home... after two years!!

I just can't thank my friends and builders Chad, Jerry and Josh at Fletcher's Customs enough for all the time, talent, sweat, (and swearing LOL) that went into this project!!!!!!! Along with ALL the sponsors/vendors involved with the car over the past 18-months...

The journey has truly been a car guy's "bucket list" of dreams-come-true!!! SEMA, PRI, Car Crazy and PowerBlock TV... Whoever would have thought it would have turned into the caliber of car it is or taken us on the journey it has... not to mention all the lifelong friendships that have been created!

AMAZING build. :hail:

Tyler/Chad - I was in touch with Anvil auto (I now have one of the full CF hoods made from your mold!) and also contacted Fesler about a billet hood hinge set. When i spoke to both Matt and Tracy at Anvil and the person at Fesler that I discussed hinges with (sorry!...forgot the name, but a very pleasant woman who was also aware of the CF-71 build) they weren't sure what the spec was for your gas hood springs or what lb. tension to use on the gas hood springs for the Anvil hood.

Do you guys remember the spec on the gas hood spring?

Sorry for such a detailed question, but if anyone else would know, it would be you guys!

Thanks!
Chi
