Heres a few pics of the interior after i installed it. The engine bay is complete also.
Two weeks from the power tour and trying to get it tuned. A bad O2 sensor and the fuel pressure gauge quitting isnt helping. Got to drive it around today a little and im very impressed. Lord willing , We'll make it.

Car is looking great!

Question - are you long hauling the Power Tour or just doing the Texas events?

Are you going to run the fuel rail covers?

What front accessory drive system are you running?

Could you get a side shot of the engine - I want to see what the blower and the valve cover side view look like.

I am looking at this blower for my Vette, but I am thinking of getting a coil pack relocation kit and getting some aftermarket valve covers.

Thanks in advance,
Craig

Not doing the longhaul. Maybe next time, so we will have an idea of what to expect. Still havent got to shakedown the car. Not sure if we will even get to go.
Using vette accy drive.
I will have to get a pic later, the car is still at the tuner. I bought the competition kit and the covers arent included. Not sure if i would run them anyway. Not enough room and not impressed about the looks.

The car looks great. Deployments are tough on everyone in the family this would be a great surprise for any Soldier coming home. Love the idea of the Big Red One patches, I know the front seats are from a BMW. Looking for something to put in my 71 Cutlass. What are the rear seats year, make, model? How hard was it to get them to fit in the rear seat location? Again the car looks GREAT!!!!

I had hoped he could come home when he got back to the States, but they wouldnt let them. We spent several days together after they came home. Last Friday, he came home for a month leave. We stayed up late to show him the car. I have countless boxes full of parts to be installed. We have made good progress this week. Plan on trying to start it this week.

The beast is coming together.

Where did you get the lines for the CTS V A/C compressor? TIA
