Lower your car they said..

Just kidding, no one said that.. I just wanted it low asf. I won a special kind of prize.

75

So it sat a few weeks while I was rounding up parts. I had to have some sort of toy ready for whoopings, so I changed the oil in the bike..
76

I got parts and knew I wasn't willing to re stripe the rear bumper, so all the stripes had to come off..
77
The bumper had a few stone chips, the side sill was blasted on the bottom side, the door had a few little chips...
78
Oh, fak. It's a project now
79
80
So many people had a part in assembling this.. Has a cool feeling to see the men/women that signed off on it through various stages.. Apparently they were even working on Halloween.

81
82
It's probably bad, but part of me really likes to see it torn down.

Finally, some fun stuff.

I hope to have a juicy update Sunday evening. My buddy and I are working on this after work a few hours though the week, and weekends so progress isn't as fast as I'd like. That's for sure. We work together here at the body shop so through the day it's gotta be business as usual.

So after getting it back together after paint, I found my radiator magically had a hole in it. I patched it until I can decide what I'm doing. Went to the track and smoked the clutch.. 12.02@117

I just decided that I'm grabbing a few shots of the gauge setup with the real camera tonight.

Edit: Turns out that that interior is too much of a dark and confined space to get a decent picture with just the lights in the shop. My tripod was too dirty to put in the car. Will have to try again outside on a sunny day.
However, I present to you some garbage in the meantime.

You can't really, the gauge blocks it completely lol. It's okay though, the car makes so much heat, the AC is on full blast all the time, and that vent always froze my fingies.

I approve of this. What are you aiming for? 7-800?
