Looking good man.

Since you're going for show stopper, it would look good if you took the intake top cover off and had it chromed or polished to match??

It's gonna be sweet when you're done!
When do you expect it will be completed?

When will you be installing the C Pillars? I've always wanted to do that, but never got a positive answer or whether or not they fit.
Any pics of them installed yet?

I decided against using them. I don't think they will flow well with our body style. I did test fit them, though. They fit alright, but my body man said he could get them to fit perfect with some modding. Here is a picture with them on...

What you are doing with the car is definitely differant. I am going to withhold final judgement until I see the finished product.

Jon, those are Saleen pillars. The bottom curved section gets painted flat black. The rest is painted body color. It REALLY cleans up the roof line.
Take a look at this and you'll see what I mean....

I can't believe how many people never notice it.
That's why I like them so much. They are a VERY subtle mod.

Liked the Export tail lights ... remember them from 'back in the day' ..... hard to find and expensive when found.
Neat project you got going.

I wasn't going to show any pictures of my car until it got sprayed, but its getting done this weekend, so I thought why not... I took some pictures a few weeks back of my car after the air ride was completely done. After installing the Tokico Illumina front struts, the front dropped another inch or two. A got my new stainless air tank installed too. Here they are...
