Spent the day cleaning the car and organizing stuff. I had also painted the fuel rails black, but never took a pic. The wiring harness is now driving me crazy since I didn't re-loom it for a tighter fit. I'll save it for another day though. Not a big priority

Youre doing a wrap?

 

[DKblue98GT]

Wow, nice work! The wrap looks just like paint.

 

[MIKE93SVT]

Yes, it's a satin white vinyl. Don't have the space to paint it here. So this wrap will last till we move back from hawaii

Been taking a break from the car and catching up on family time. Today I spent more time than expecting prepping the grilles and hood vent for paint. That honey comb design was a pain. Also installed the BMR relocation brackets and control arms. Hardware was missing some stuff, but I had the right bolts on hand luckily. Enjoyed the break and am ready to wrap this thing up, pun intended

Got the AFCO heat exchanger installed. Great piece. Came with everything needed and good instructions. Definitely recommend.

Love the attention to detail.

 

[MIKE93SVT]

thanks! definitely miss that car and can't wait to build another one like it. the details are what really make putting a car together fun for me. well, after it's done, haha. can be frustrating and time consuming

so some parts are getting painted, some wrapped lol? I'm confused, but still, this is sick!

 

[MIKE93SVT]

Car is getting painted. These parts are done and need assembled to make it easier to wet sand and buff
