Oh, and I cant wait to see those wheels. Talk about 3 piece wheels...those are 5 piece wheels. RS just raised the bar once again.
Thanks! I agree on the comments about the direction for these types of build. I think many owners out there are finding a nice balance for these cars. The vehicles we see getting this treatment are usually ones where the styling has really stood the test of time and are now becoming appreciated for what they are. The owners would rather let the factory styling speak for itself and bring the internals up to modern performance and handling levels to compliment the outside.

snaking is right, my guess would be a coral snake.

Question for you chris. I have been playing with stainless tubing myself, what do you use to cut the tubing at multiple angles?

Missed this one! :_paranoid
We normally use either a cold saw or bandsaw.

We also created a panel to hold two vents and the AC controller within the factory opening in the dash.
