I've been missin too long!
Like the header says, I've been missing for way too long on this project. Several things held me up.
Scheduling and getting the car in at Bell's chassis for the roll bar work sucked up a couple of months. Then I went to my interior guy's shop to mock-up the custom interior. This really got out of hand, we've been friends since high school and I was helping at night and it was going good. Then my friend found a new girlfriend that he was very serious about, this was the end of working on it at night. I told him to just do it during the day like any other customer and charge me, well friends figure that friends will understand and wait while they do other projects. This meant my car stayed on the back burner for way too long. Every interior panel is hand built and fitted, door panels, qaurter panels, package tray, seats and console as well as modifying the dash of my choice to fit the down bars. All of this held the car up for 14 months, way too long.
Now it is back at the body shop where several other custom touches have been added to make it have a sleeker appearance. The car has been primed and blocked six times fully assembled, then completely disassembled and placed back on the rottiserie. The bottom is recieving final detailing and prep and should be sprayed next week. After that I'll finally have some update pictures.
Once the bottom is sprayed, I will place it back on the suspension and it will be ready for color. It also spent a few weeks at Exotic exhaust having headers and 3 inch exhaust with X pipe custom fabbed.
