'' I'd really like to see someone build a wheel around an aftermarket subframe and the CF inner fenders''

Thats exactly what I'm doing right now Matt. I'm waiting for my Anvil tubs as we speak. I'll be using a DSE sub so will see how this works out. I'm going to be running 19's all the way around ..

The car came out beautiful, I don't know why but i always liked the RS cars with the headlight doors open.

Matt, the photos at cars and coffee look great. As stated before, killer color.
Is there anything left that you need to address on the car or are you just concentrating on "driver mode"

**Matt@BOS** · #**384** 01-16-2010, 12:13 AM

We're easing into driver mode. I think the plan is to start dyno tuning at around 1000ish miles. In the mean time, the baseline tune works okay. Chris fixed the headlight doors so they open and close now, and are operated by one of the switches since he found a way to run them independent of the lights. I've got some pictures, just haven't uploaded them. It doesn't look so awkward anymore, although I was starting to get used to it.

We still have several things left, first the inner fenders need to get fiberglassed where they were cut, and then the power rear windows need to be installed since the regulators we ordered were built improperly. After that the car will go in to the trim shop to finish the trunk. Dick and I wanted to have this done for Goodguys Del Mar in April. Eventually I'd like to modify the center console for a hand brake along with some billet pieces I've been thinking of having Brad make. Oh and I'm trying to figure out where to put cup holders since we plan on some roadtripping. I'm just waiting on the center console I was supposed to get with the Marquez interior, since I'm not cutting up the finished one. I figure it might make a nice project when it gets to me next summer

Ok, so the guys at the shop said the car got a little under construction write up in Popular Hot Rodding, is this true? If anyone knows, could you tell me what issue, and maybe even put up a scan...that would be really cool!

Also because everyone likes pictures, here is one of the finished front, it is amazing how different it looks with the doors closed.

Car looks Killer Matt, I always liked the way the RS doors look closed. I always leave mine closed, even with my HID's on

Well, in the time that we've been trying to call the GNRS, without response, to get the car in, apparently the event has filled up. So it doubt we will be inside. Suppose we could do the whole "drive in" thing and have it parked outside, but that is up to Dick at this point since he is still looking after it.
