Just stumbled upon this build thread! You are killing it for sure.....

Noticed the FD RX-7 parked on the street. Is that yours?

What rear brake setup are you going to go with?

Cheers!

The only surviving parts were the A pillars. I thought a lot more of it would be usable but as most here know things change as you get into a build.

Superlites for the rear brakes. Something I worked with Ron Sutton on.
The FD was mine, I really liked that car.
Trying to get this thing ready for paint so not much exciting to show right now.

Had the week off so tried to make some progress. Body is not 100% yet but I really needed to get some parts on this car and out of every room of the house. Painted the underside and Raptor lined the fender wells and center tunnel.




Had to widen the rear spoiler

Rear brake duct off a Corvette to supply air to the trans and diff coolers.


Driveshaft looked good.



A fitting from Vince at Meanstreets to connect the AN line to the slave cyl.


Motor ready to go.

Amazing job! It's hard to believe it is made up of so many different panels if you didn't see it all apart. Beautiful work.

Finally getting some parts on this thing.
Back to work this week but trying to keep the ball rolling.





Weight check. Still missing a lot of stuff but looks reasonable so far.

Awesome metal work , what you did with the rocker is awesome I love that body line, the fender vents are sweet too , the whole car is done nicely and not too over the top , some guys get too crazy with those mods and the end result is an ugly car , what you have done here is beautiful, very nice job.
