You are not allowed to speed in this car. Dont want anything to happen to it.

Yesterday with all the suspension complete and the car on the ground I pushed on it, the car doesnt move, it is so damn solid. Looking forward to getting it back from the welder so we can test drive it in the empty lot next door.

do you have any extra of that oe fabric tape?......id buy a roll if I could.

By OEM fabric tape, do you mean hockey tape? lol

Looks wicked guys.

Yeah, looks the same, though not sure if hockey tape has all of the same qualities though.

Ok, all majors are done, so now onto the little things we need to tie up before completion.

Today (and last night) was the hood pins. Kish went with these Aerocatch latches that are pretty trick. In hindsight, would have been better (more like easier) to go with the top mounts, but these flush mounts do look pretty hot.

Before cutting up his hood, i did a practice run on a spare hood we had here. The actual hood has the latches swapped around 180*.

I measured about 12 times, and cut once. On top of that, i started with small drill bits and worked my way up to the cut off wheel.

Test run






Here i am cutting up the red hood. I cut the holes a hair too small on purpose so i could open them up later on.




Finished product








I really like the look. Sorry, forgot to snap pics of the pins, but i'll tell you now, i used existing holes that are on the rad support. Pretty straight forward.

Thanks for looking.

Are you guys gonna stealth mode them with paint or vinyl?

It's worked in my car for 2 years, no signs of wear. It's a wicked thing to wrap electrical in.

we have the black/red theme on the car, the vinyl guy is suppose to be out this week so not sure what we will do.

No exhaust, no cats... She is loud, runs well. Let the fine tuning begin.
