I had been trying to get my car to my brother's shop but kept getting put off due to the booth always full etc . So I went and bought a Harbor freight HLVP spray gun for $39.00 and sprayed it myself in my garage. I spent a lot time covering things up the garage as overspray sucks. Note for other newbie DYI sprayers, wetting the floor down prior not only keeps dust down but also helps from overspray sticking to the floor.

It turned okay, a few light spots. The lighting made it hard to see. I needed a little bigger compressor but this will work for now. I plan to have a pro paint maybe this winter.

I really need some of the World Famous DFRESH gap spray from Ironworks
Maybe they will hook me up.......

I messed around with some tape making Gran Sport stripes. I know they maybe a little played out but I kind of like them. My wife kinda laughed at me like I some 40 year old ricky racer

I have most of the quirks fixed now need to do some more clean up. I don't trust my welding to do the seat bracket harness so hopefully the guy built my cage to do it next week. I really want those in before I venture to far from home. Here is the interior shot...need to do just about everything in there.

Here is the engine. I plan to redo the CAI soon.

Man, love this build. Love the wheel set up and stance. You dont need to run 335's to have a sweet badass ride! Looks great
