Some new pictures...getting closer....

painted rear tail light trim. Also painted the fog lights pods to be gloss.

Also...a LOT of preparation UNDER the Seibon hood to get it to look like stock and then painted.

What a beautiful build. Very well thought out, nice touches but not over the top. I cant wait to see this in person at CFII. Congratulations

Merc · 03-07-2011, 12:29 PM

Moving right along.

Rickerbucks · 03-07-2011, 11:19 PM

SO this is the stock trunk with an MPD1 spoiler blended in and CF layered. A LOT of work to get this end result....a LOT....of work.

The glass went back in today...tinted off course. Wet sanded the hood and roof. Polishing to follow in the next day or two. Need to sand the trunk and then polish and paint the stripe.

Interior starts going back together tomorrow. Clear coating the custom kevlar boxes for the stereo in the next day or two.

Installed some flow master mufflers today.

hoping to have it displayed at the Vancouver Auto show on March 29th.

However, having trouble getting the steering wheel customized just the way i want.

Getting closer....closer....

Merc · 03-26-2011, 06:51 PM

Looking Good.

Merc · 03-29-2011, 10:12 AM

When will you get your car back from Brada?

Rickerbucks · 04-04-2011, 10:18 PM

So getting REAL close....

Car is entirely painted. They have wet / dry sanded the car and are in the final hours of sanding. The rear of the trunk needs to be sanded and polished. The stereo system has had some glitches with the blue tooth module BUT brought in a specialist to hopefully finish it up tomorrow. Brad (the interior guy) comes into "heat shrink" the ultra leather on Wednesday. Tire alignment at the tire shop next door - previous alignment was not right. Final fabrication on getting the square MBRP chrome tips to work with the flow master mufflers tomorrow. Put the window in the hood on Wednesday night as well as reinstall the interior.

Detail shop works on it on Thursday.

Hopefully the key is back in my hands by Friday.

I'm getting an Ace Steering wheel made and I shipped them the yellow kevlar and ultra leather BUT there was another problem there and the material just got to them today. they will be pulling a rabbit out of the hat to the wheel done in time.

I'll be leaving for AZ on SUNDAY. I'm VERY excited.

Merc · 04-04-2011, 10:34 PM

See you in Vegas.

Maddog78 · 04-06-2011, 01:42 PM

Wow, that is a lot of work.
Congrats on your patience, it will certainly be one of a kind.

Rickerbucks · 04-08-2011, 06:08 PM
