I can't wait to see the feature in Super Chevy. Man, this is one awesome car. You should be very proud of the great job you did.

Shame at you trim flew away. Sorry for OT but is there any magazine feature of how to install trim correctly? I have looked those trim clips from parts book and service manual but still dont get it.

I think the clips on that piece are the wrong ones. We stole a replacement of Mark's car (lateral dynamics).. I wonder if he will notice? lol -- thanks Mark!

Every time I see pics of Penny, I'm struck by the color. What color is that?

Maybe you should leave the nick, perfection will just discourage you from putting that car on the track where it belongs!

I don't mind rock chips but this is in a wierd place. The color is 2002 Prowler Orange. At night, out of direct white light, the car looks like a dirty copper or bronze. When the light hits it the color really comes to life.


Oh, and that "official" shots came out much better than that quicky I took. We had light going off everywhere and a welder in the back making sparks. I think it might be cool enough for a poster.

Trying to work the video, it bounced from Mark since it's 18mb...

Just outstanding news, Steve, glad to hear she's running and that you are able to enjoy driving instead of wrenching (not that wrenching is bad, mind you). Strange to hear about the molding, it's always something, but the guys can fix that scratch no sweat. Hope that trim piece fit, but I will need it back!!! I owe you a call, but go out and enjoy yourself this weekend! Get some more miles on her, then we'll nut and bolt/inspect everything to make sure it's all happy. Then it's whoopin' time.

Mark

P.S. And by the way, that is PLENTY of power for the car, especially out of such a small-ish package, great job.

The piece fit great. I think the clips are the wrong type.. anyways, nothing that can't be fixed.

I will get her aligned and weighed this week. I will at BOS next saturday for the trim and nick repair. Stop by and we can check all the bolts for the happy factor. lol

Thanks again for all your help Mark, your suspension rocks so far!

"...My car is so fast I need to saftey wire the trim to it..."

Hopefully, I too will get to use that line soon.

BTW... how'd the wiring come out ??

Has a distinct sound. I think he barely bounced of the rev-limiter in this one.

Looks and sounds AMAZING Steve, great job. Now go out and start enjoying it.
