Great detail work! I really like the fitment of your endura bumper.......I spent hours and mine is not as nicely tucked as yours. What are you planning for final color?

Thanks. I think we are pushing past 2500 hours maybe reaching 3000 (scared to check...lol)on body work. Fortunately outside of the hood we are done with body work. The front end is so difficult to get right on the RS front end as most know. It certainly took some perseverance.

Carmen Red (Porsche) or similar was the thought but seeing a lot of red Camaro's lately make me question my choice but thus far I keep coming back to that.

Thus far I have kept this under wraps but here is the latest iteration. A couple subtle changes to what will be final but substantially this encompasses the changes since the first rendering.

The SB4 engine harness bulkhead is very large. 3”x4” basically. It looks huge on the firewall. No bueno. Others have mounted on the firewall where the OE harness/fuse block is located which IMO is unsightly. We had plenty of room in the trans tunnel where we can protect from heat but needed room for the bulkhead. Problem solved! Will be covered by the center counsel.

Gotta have a tag light....flush mounted LED.

This Mercury Racing ECU/relays/etc is huge. Fortunately we found a place to tuck it yet still accessible.





Still have a glove box!

Power cell mount for the rear of the car which is hidden behind the panel.

Your rear bumper looks just like mine. You have good taste.
