Thanks Chad, I’ll check those pages out.

I really like the spoiler as well...and the lower height than stock is very cool imho.

Thanks. The spoiler is from Kindigit.

I always had that design in mind from the time we did the rendering. We were going to make one but then I was watching Bitchin' Rides and they used a 3d plotter on a '68 Camaro they did as they designed/produced a spoiler exactly what I had envisioned. A lot less money to purchase or have him reproduce one than custom build as I had intended. I emailed Dave and after a few email exchanges one showed up in CF. Now they sell them.

They sell it as one piece for bolt on but it created gaps that just didn't work for me but probably fine for most. We extended the trunk lip to take up all the gaps. Anyhow that's how we ended up with a three piece spoiler. Keeping in line with the theme of cutting up carbon fiber parts. LOL Page 18 btw Don't tell Dave I cut up his spoiler.

Chad,

Great story.

But if you take it to the next SEMA, Kindig may have some questions for you.

I have the Kindig it spoiler too and thought that's what you had until I saw a 3-piece spoiler and thought otherwise. Nonetheless, it looks better that way in the 3 pieces. I really like that idea. It looks killer. Wish I had thought of that.

Blacktech Project hood. We have to repaint the SS grill inserts along with other final punchlist stuff.

Very nice, paint is superb!! Unless I missed it, you never mentioned...who's doing your paint/body work? Or the shop's name?

Great question....they are the reason we are going to Detroit Autorama where they can showcase their talent. I have some surprises left of what we are doing to finish the car. It heads to interior in a few days then back to the shop for the flush glass, punch list and the finishing touches.

Brett Schmenski and his father Rick(semi-retired) of Mountain Home Street Rods. Brett did the body work and paint. What you are seeing too is just a rough buff where some areas need to be wet sanded a bit more and some areas haven't been wet sanded at all. We had to rush a bit at the end to meet our interior shops' window. I would put their paint and bodywork against anyone in the business. It is so straight...just amazed. They did a phenomenal job.
