Tony, good to see you back on here and back at it. Keep us posted. Hope to see you around some of the shows this year...at least I am hoping to make a few. You should also check out the GT show coming up in the spring. Always a good show with a good mix of cars. Not sure if my ride will make it, but I plan to.

Keep posting your progress.

Amazing work on the floor panels and front suspension!
All the mods are amazing! I would just choose some porsche OEM rims but those DaVinci´s are quite nice too!

One question, short update and more pics

Question ---The question is do I keep the red detail on wheels? Interior is going to be black and red thought red detail on wheels would go good overall.

Update---- Rear fenders and running boards painted and install. All new brake components installed to go with new front and rear disc brake kits brake lines, master cynlinder and brake fluid reservoir. Body to pan seal installed and pan now completly bolted down. Transmission still sitting in the garage and engine in the hands of steve sands. After headliner then welding in torque bar mounting tabs. Next on the to do list install sound deadner and send car out to have headliner done.

More pics---

I would keep the red accent... helps carry the overall red and black theme.

Red accents will stay, Eagle Performance and more pics

First off I would like to give a special thanks to Mrs. Blue for all her love and support I dont think she realizes how much help she has been.

I have decided to keep the red accents for the time being.

Next on the install list is the coil over conversion kit that I received for Eagle Performance http://www.eagleperformance.com/CoilOverKits.html. I have researched many different kits over the years and finally decided on the Eagle Perfomance Kit. There are more expensive kits out there and ofcourse there are cheaper kits out there, but anyone doing a coil over conversion should definitely check out the Eagle Performance Kit. A friend of mines has a cheaper version without the offset and he just can't seem to get his toe alignment correct, and I have also seen the versions offered without the load boss and I wouldnt feel safe doing any spirited driving with those kits. Started the install a couple of days ago and had a small clearance issue. Gave a call to Eagle and the problem was solved immediately. Will post later with some install details and pics.











I have also made a minor change to the headlight buckets by painting the interior of the the buckets to match the body.

Before and after pics

Time to do a little interior work

Decided to save a little money by R&R the rear seat springs myself. One less thing my interior guy has to do.








Also made a decision to go with the Scat Procar Stealth Seat. The red and black theme is alive and well.




Also started on the audio basics
