Thanks tracey, I tried as hard as possible to make a perfect car. I still don't think it holds up to a lot of guys out there but I did it as a challenge to myself. Looking back I would have done more and made a few changes. But it's now time to drive it. I'm sure once You get done with it, it will be over the top.

Yes, the wheel is Isotta, I like the feel but it's a little to small to see all the gauges as your driving it, but will get used to it. Or maybe I'll change my mind. Emagine that!

Todd, Thanks bud, coming from an onwer of a pro built that means alot.

Steve, You need to take a little credit on this as well. There will be alot of people to thank when this is all done.

Called DSE today, nothing in the works for customers yet. I'm leaning towards the Anvil once I figure out how to modify it a little.

Love the clean look also. Something to think about, not for everyone, but maybe to consider. I'm doing this to my engine bay. Here's the catch. It's a one piece removable. Will have a close out panel over front just not mocked up yet.

Car will keep standard inner guards. This one piece internal will be bolted in and will be easily removed without damage to anything.

Mark, does your core support have all the factory holes in it, or did you fill them up? For me, the deciding factor when choosing closeout panels was which one covered up the most so that people wouldn't be able to see the myriad holes punched into it.

Looks really good! Be sure to post up progress on the interior as it comes together.

No I never filled the factory holes, my original plan was to get the DSE filler panel but after Mike made the resevors for me I did not want to cover them up. I have a filler panel from undercover I may use for now. I need to see the Anvil piece up close before I spend the money.

Tracey is in charge of all the pictures for the interior and as you can see he likes to tease me. After the 1:30 am confersations this week I can tell you it will be more then I hoped for. Tracey has basically turned this into his personal project as always.
