Lookin good, cant wait to see more progress

 

heres some pics of the rear end, i also set the taillights in to see how it will look after i blacked them out

the laser hatch and filled holes

heres the trimmed up bumper cover

 

heres my aluminum door panels i made...
not yet riveted in, self tappers for now to hold it in place to see how they fit..as i will be using diffrent doors

door panel and sparco sprint seat, sitting in place for test fit, i made custom aluminum brackets for the seat, ill get some pics of that soon

 

Everything looks good, I like the door panels, I plan on doing the same thing, just wrapping it with black leather.

thanks man, well you didnt have to wait long... right after you posted i uploaded a bunch more pics lol as you can see..:banana:

 

Looks good I like the rear bumper idea I also like the tail lights where did you get the black clear coat?

thats a pretty good idea, i was thinking on just painting them black, because there all scratched up, but i think if i just scuff the aluminum you wont notice all the scratches, leather would be sweeeeet tho

thanks , the tail lights are painted with VHT taillight tint paint i picked up at a local speed shop, i then cleared them with normal clear so they dont fade and last longer.

 

Looks good, I plan to do the same with the rear floor, bumper looks good.

looks good jay, i think you need an msd for it!

ps...did you find the shift cables in your fortress?

 

I <3 race cars.

 

Me too.. haha

Where did you pick up the black trim that you put around the aluminum?

Looks like it would work for lexan also.

 

Always wanted to try that trim idea, or paint it black where that stuff hangs down...it's so afterthought looking on the talons.

Loving the trunk and doors dude. What's going on under the hood?

its door edge molding. you can get it at pep boys, i dont think it would work on lexan tho because lexan is to thick

thanks everyone for the complements!

going under the hood:
stock 6 bolt rebuilt bottom end with, ported and o ringed head, arps, BC 280s, BC springs and retainers, fidenza cam gears

other mods planned:
erl cast t4 manifold, t4 t67 turbo (not sure yet), tial 44, 1000cc injectors, full fuel system... -8 feed -6 return, bosch 044 pump, 10 gallon aluminum fuel cell. fuel lab fpr... dsmlink or aem..24x12x4 fmic, custom 3 intercooler pipes, jmf smim lots and lots more stuff in the works and planned out..

right now primaly focused on getting the fuel cell finished up, getting S&W 8pt rolll bar ordered and welded up. and the paint and body... i already have the rebuilt motor and o-ringed head, just have to get the head ported..

i also just ordered the 24x12x4 fmic and a bunch of 3 inch aluminum mandrel bends for the intercooler piping, ill get some pics of these bad boys when they come in......:banana:

 

Just curious to why you arn't building the block?, you wont even reach the potential of the T67 with stock rods. Just curious...

Built block would be the 1st thing going into my race car

 

where'd you get a motor from already?

because i dont have the money right now, to build it up, so thats whats going in for now, i know i wont get the full potential of the t67, but you cant underestimate the 4g63, people make over 550awhp and 100s of passes on the stock block.. if they can do it so can i. im not looking for much more then that, ill be happy with 500awhp, that in a 2600lb car with slicks. is plenty for me.... if i had the money it would be a diff story, but i make due with what i have...

i had the motor that whats in the car right now, ohh and yea i got the shifter cables thanks, so yea if you need my 1gb front fenders let me kno, and i still want that msd off you..

ok cool. and yea i definately need that from bumper and fenders. im getting the car painted soon. oh yea and i work like right down the street from you again. For a company called dynamite fx, right off taunton ave, before cooper.

 

Nice build. But if your going through all of that, you dont think it would be benificail just to go ahead and build the motor? All you really need is a set of ross pistons and eagle rods.

 

Nice! keep up the good work.

yea when i do build the motor it will be eagle rods ross pistons 20 over.. the stock block will have to do for now tho, one thing at a time, this car is not going to be done soon its gonna take alot of time and money, i do what i can when i can... time and money is limited at the moment.
