Kronix, I am so impressed!! I can see COTW coming real soon. I believe this is one of the best builds I have seen!! The fenders look outstanding. Thanks for sharing with us..

Looks really good.
So I guess you're not going to use the 3Dcarbon rear spats? |

Kronix,
If you check out some of my interior pics - I pretty much have everything Chris sells. He does great work and I get compliments all the time about the pieces. |

Regarding the mailslot, I liked the closeout that SLP makes, but who wants to see an outline, makes it look cheap IMO. So luckily I had a very skilled body shop (Ken's Body Shop in San Luis Obsipo), and they were definitely up for the challenge when I told them I don't think anyone's actually done this yet. I will admit it did take a few times to get it right, the key was leaving the stock grille in there to keep the pieces from sagging. Originally we had sent the front bumper over to him minus the grille, because I was swapping it out for the Heritage grille & SS emblem. But after we put the stock grille back in they were able to do it perfectly as you can see. There's no visible lines whatsoever, same with the license plate holes, my bumper had four nice holes in the nose for those lovely, bulky LP holders...No more!! I'll find out exactly what bonding agent was used to do the mailslot, and post it up. Eric from MPD1 was eager to see how it turned out & what was used as well. COTW....It would be an honor, once this baby's done..Thank you Quote:

Your build was the first one I read when I joined! I've got quite a few ideas from what you've done and your thoroughness in documenting it, you've done an awesome job! |

About to pull the trigger on my 3d carbon kit. Im ordering the rocker panels without the spats. If you get a chance, could you please throw up a pic before you put your spats on?

Hey Buff, looks like I'll be moving to your neck of the beach within the next 2 months. Can't wait to GTFO of this retirement community they call Pismo Beach The wifey got a much better job in West LA, so I'm on real estate detail...Look forward to meeting the SoCal crew, as that's where we initially wanted to move after coming here from NJ. Can't wait!! Quote:
I'll be taking more pics today, as we finished the body kit the other day, and focused on the A-Pillar gauges yesterday. I'm just waiting for my red LED Scanner lights to come tomorrow from AAC to add to the white scanner light behind the grille, then we should have it buttoned up and ready for alignment and it's out on the streets!!! Whew, it's been a long 2 months without my car. |

I found a shop about a half hour away that is supposed to be terrific, and am going to have them do a few other things so just going to have them paint them. They have done complete restorations and the cars are amazing. Its amazing the things you learn and the people you meet when you get a sporty car! I am excited to see your finished car!

Dave that's great that you found a local paint shop, this way you're assured a correct match up. I hope 3dCarbon gave you good pricing like I mentioned. We're just finishing up my gauges, then an alignment and I'm good to start flying! Photo shoot will be next.
Thank you for the compliment Frid! I'm just trying to make a one of kind rocket ship, any help I can be please let me know!!! |

Go for it! The actual filler used was 3m plastic repair-5887 E-Z Sand Flexible.....if anyone needs any info on losing out the mailslot just let me know. Finished running the wires for A Pillar gauges & scanner lights for behind the grille. Of course yet another shipping delay with one of my last pieces, I'll leave the vendor nameless but it was not Emblempros! Or RAcnJsn with my bent plate holder. |

Well today is the 2 month mark that the SS has been getting transformed, and I've been without it. But we received the last couple of things from AAC and they'll be in by tonight, so I should have the car on the streets by Friday. Of course there will be little odds & ends to do, and then I'll slowly start doing some interior mods, like a new double din head unit with either the Schoshe or Metra adaptor to replace the HVAC.
The guys at Extreme Auto Works in SLO have been busting their asses on my car & it's much appreciated! Got my hydrocoated goodies from Emblempros to match the engine covers, and I'm replacing some of the visible front bumper bolts with stainless ones, so pics of the radiator shroud tomorrow. Once she finally sees the sun, I'll be taking a bunch of quality pics and go over all the work done. For now some gauges & engine covers, big thanks to Angelspeedfreak for the 411 on the gauges & pod & Roger at Emblempros! Prosport EVO Boost & Air/Fuel Gauges Painted & Hydro-coated engine covers, I also got the Fuse box, Radiator Shroud & Rear Rain Guards done in the same pattern. Kind of like a lightning illusion look. Thanks for watching & be back tomorrow with some completion or damn near completion pics!! |
