I would love to see Rupp supply a single post with as many part numbers and descriptions as possible. Work on it in word and then cut & paste.

Once this car is done, I strongly believe that it will go down as a milestone pro-touring car. All of the brightest stars have aligned: An excellent 21st Century front clip, Lateral Dynamics 3 link, stiff chassis, Wilwood brakes, Toyo stickies on Forgeline wheels and just the right amount of horsepower with an LS2 wide powerband. If that's not enough to classify this car as a milestone, just add in Rupp's superhuman attention to detail with complementary and contrasting colors and finishes.

All that is missing is the Bad Penny tattoo between the door and front wheelwell.
Wow, that was very nice to say... I will try and not let it inflate my ego and make me a dickhead.. lol

I'm digging the Penny "tatoo" idea. Just need to figure out the right way to pull it off.

The car will not be "show car perfect" with a flawless paint job and razor straight gaps. But it will be nice enough to be proud of and of a quality where I won't be afraid to drive her.

And in other news.

The new center gauge cluster is all together. Nice that I have room to add a boost guage or whatever in the future. The upper guage is a digital tach and sequential shift light. The bottom on is the most important "engine health" indicator, the oil pressure gauge.
