It's Mr. Clueless to you sir, LOL.

G that's a buddy of mine who owns HM racing Design. They specialize in $500,000 trophy trucks. He lets the boys use the shop for the stuff they can't do at home.

I thought you'd like the wheel.

Thanks Trey, it's a lot of work, so they will need all the luck they can get!


Here a quickie of the firewall bezel, the carbon is going to get tone down will a mat finish. We used the factory hood as a test panel. That's going to be the color of the engine bay, floor and trunk.


Justin counter sunk all the holes with a hand held drill!

Well, cars is off to paint. There is no kidding, over 10 days of skimming, sanding and primer in the engine bay. They even skimmed the inside of the fire wall were the filler panel was welded in. There more hours in the trunk than I can count. Every single spot weld has been smooth.

The boys are thinking of going with the same color as the Z/28 concept. What do you guys think?

Pearl white mat would look really cool, but remember to keep your hands VERY clear or always wear gloves if you plan on touching the car!! It will show every little touch to the car!
