Beware: My flawless engine bay/exterior update
The motor is a forged 402 so its not all show. Their is still a few things I want to do under the hood, but now i'm concerned with the exterior paint job. I hope to get working on the body work within the next few months. My goal is for the it to be painted by the end of summer.

Thanks guys. I've been extremely busy and after all that work, I just wanted to take a break and drive it for a while. It works out because now i'm saving for the paint job anyways.
For clarification...the back half is NOT done. That is the remaining temporary paint job from early 2006. I've got to sand down all the primered stuff again since i've been driving it that way for a while now. I need to strip the rear bumper and the hatch/spoiler still. The sail panel is going to be ripped off and replaced. My paint guy is going to strip the quarter panels and fix all the flaws. Doesn't sound like much, but its got to be done right!
The absolute next thing on the list of body work is the SFC's and mini tubs! Future plans are 345/25/20 out back and 19's up front. CCW 505A's with their deepest lip to match a shortened built rearend. The car will be sitting on Air Ride Technogies suspension to make it even more sick.

I like the color theme, good choice. You should cover that brake fluid reservoir: http://store.specializedstainless.co...et/Detail?no=7
