Thanks, although I'd say you guys are the ones with some different and wild thinking going on at your shop.

A couple days ago we decided we wanted to make a thrash for SEMA, and luckily for us, Dick agreed to the idea, so the car will be coming together really quickly from here on. Recaro Style seats are on the way. Seat brackets arrived today, I'm surprised they fit since they were labeled for, well...just look



Also in the past couple of weeks a rollcage from DSE went in, the front sheetmetal and doors were gapped and the bumpers were cleaned up and sent to get chromed.




Oh and in a totally unrelated side note, we've been discussing bros, their white sunglasses and their sticker clad pick up trucks over at the shop. I did some thinking and decided our fabricator, and resident bro, Brad, aka brotourer should create a website dedicated to the brosification of automobiles, maybe call it bro-touring.com

What the hell is a Chevy Cameron??? (see seat track pic)... lol

[Matt@BOS]

So this past week may not look like a lot happened with only four or five photos, but it was a busy one for the whole crew at the shop. Dick finally managed to get the front end all lined up. I knew repop sheet metal was known for having problems, but I never realized how much work it would take to get all of the various original and aftermarket parts to fit. Finally, the front got its first bit of primer.







Sitting outside it actually looks kinda cool in its splotchy blue guide coat. Too bad the blue will all be gone forever, unless the jokes on me and I pull up to the shop one day only to find the car blue.

Oh and a thanks goes out to Frank at Prodigy for getting one of his radiators, and such out to us right away. Frank told me I was going to know my credit card number by heart by November, and he wasn't kidding. After ordering a steering wheel, hood pins, gauges, trunk latch, mirrors, ISIS harness, and other little things, I've almost got my card memorized, and its still August.

Oh and special points go out to anyone that can identify the mysterious "brotourer."

Oh, can I play??? lol


By SEMA you should really know the "joy" of the SEMA "crunch".. it's oh so fun.. lol

Looks great. So you painted the front CF header panel? Hmmm... did you ever pick a dang color combo? (hoping for the grey/blue deal)..

[Matt@BOS]

Yeah, actually all of the carbon fiber parts except the raised cowl part of the hood are getting painted. I picked up the cowl panel so no one would have to spend hours prepping and color sanding the vent grills. Then, since naturally the header panel wouldn't fit, I decided to pick up an Anvil one as well. At this point it would need to be painted even if it wasn't in the plan since it cracked and had to be patched due to the stress of the fenders and core support not wanting to fit.

Oh and I've actually been thinking that the identity of the brotourer might have to wait til our car is done, to be revealed, since there could be untold consequences for outing him.
