A few more updates-

Sheet metal replacement is done, so along with the roof and inner structure, the firewall, and part of the trans tunnel, we also replaced both lower rocker panels and did some patch work here and there. Next step was prepping the floor for some under coat. We decided to do it in color, to contrast the black suspension parts and carry the theme of the concept artwork through to the bottom. How about that shade of yellow? Cool, eh?

We also have turned some attention to addressing some interior items. First off, we've used our new Trans Tunnel Cover to make room for the T-56. Such a simple install, it sure makes life easier than building a new tunnel.




Next we had to address the clearance issue that the DSE trailing arms create with the rear seat. Circled in yellow is the area that is required to be modified. In the second photo the yellow arrow shows how far forward the seat is pushed by the new trailing arm pocket. We like the simplicity of our Speedtech Torque arm rear suspension, the trailing arms bolt into the factory leaf spring pockets. This car came to us with this suspension already installed so we're changing things up a bit to make it all work.







This car will be getting a Marquez dash and door panels, along with custom covered Recaro front seats and matching upholstery on the rear seats. You'll be seeing the black, yellow and red theme carried through the interior too. More coming soon...
