Oh, man. That's a gorgeous car. The wheels are a great choice. You have to keep those so long as the hoops fill out the wells properly.
I dig the cross ram intake, too. I would change the color though. Red isn't a bad choice. I think with the subtle strip and machined wheels, a more subtle color would be best for the engine though.
Best of luck on it, Steve. I know you'll make it great no matter what you choose.

Thanks Trey !
I am choosing to do a 'almost' full red interior ... thus the red pop in the engine bay. I want to open that hood and have the cross-ram make a statement, that's the jewel of the car.
Lets see how it comes out, if it too much its an easy paint fix
Question ... did you run the dual throttle bodies by wire or cable ?? If electronically which computer setup did you run ??
Cheers
Steve

That will tie together nicely then, Steve.
I haven't run the dual throttle body arrangement.

I just found this thread and I hope you do the red interior. I have considered bidding on this car and I realized I don't need another car.
But it does have a bad ass "Red Interior" which you may or may not like.
