My Engine Bay and Interior

Thought I would share a couple pics of my engine bay. Things left to do are install new fuel rails and line, pull intake and paint, and paint strut towers.

Some Interior Shots:

Left to do are finish the carbon fiber trim:

Easy enough to answer, I have 2 FBodys!! This one is a project car that I'm trying everything out on. Wanted to try my hand at shaving the stock valve covers. Turned out good enough I didn't cover them back up.

The push button start is not really a "kit". I got the starter button from HParts.com.. It's the actual starter button from a Honda S2000. Did the rest of the wiring myself.

Yea, I've actually had 2nd thoughts about it too, but it was such a PITA to put in I don't really want to take it back out.

Yeah, I hate that I didnt get my F-car in time to place an order

In all seriousness, someone needs to step-up in their absence. Wish I had the know-how and training to do it, or I'd venture into that and hopefully make some bank.

i was wondering if the Hotchkis STB would work with the TR kit. i have the TR kit already. i need to get my valve covers painted or polished up now. it does suck that MBA went under, even with the prices they were charging.
