Weld...the car is amazing. Such a bummer that it's been a pain to get it done right. Sure, cars like that will have a small issue or to during shake down, but it's been a bit much. Especially for what you've paid for it. Sorry to hear it's still not 100%.

So I'll get hammered on this -- but on Monday we worked on a few details -- seat position - dash - and pedals etc - as well as the stance.

Brycen had to take the dash out of the car and cut it all apart to make the changes I asked for. Pretty amazing that he was able to do this while we worked on some other stuff! The dash is going to be moved "out" about 3 INCHES so I can reach the switches and the stereo etc. We also SUNK the gauges into the dash - and angled them... Of course these are just mock up pieces as they'll be tapered and much more detailed than these cups are.








Put a jack under the rear end and put a little boost into it... this is up about an inch...

I'm not going to make any derogatory comments about changing the dash to fit you. After all, AMG plucks homeless Germans of various heights/weights off the streets to make sure customers of all sizes fit their cars. You're proof of that.

Two things stand out in these pics.

1- That's a nice Nova in the background.

B- Raising the rear 1" shows off the Intros better.
