Thanks to all you guys for the nice compliments. It all helps keep me motivated.

Steve, I'd like to change them. Seeing them going down the road made me really like them, but I'd rather get some Boze, Budnik, or Rushforth wheels for the car. All three make some wicked wheels and I'd like to support the vendors if I can. The current wheels were a fortune so it's hard to let them go.

Tonight we met with the Interior guy- Dave Putnam in Orangevale. Dave is a genius with the stitch and jus ta super nice guy. He's taking the car in three weeks. That gives me just enough time to get the speakers in, make the console, get the power windows in, and fab up the sub box.

One thing I did learn is that I won't use Lizard Skin again. It was a pain to spray on and ultimately doesn't seem to work too well. I put 5 mils on the bottom and 5 inside. Ceramic heat barrier on the exhaust side and ceramic and sound inside. After just a few minutes of running the car, the floor was hot- like holy crap hot. I laid down some Fatmat on the tunnel and that fixed the issue. It's just a superior way to dampen sound and combat heat- at least that's my experience.
