Thanks. Project has def taken longer than hoped but isn't that always the case? Lol. I should bite the bullet a get the Hooker exhaust that is supposed to fit but damn, I've been bitten so many times with things not fitting already that I'm very skittish. We are working on wiring the dash tomorrow so just maybe I can post an update after that!

Looks great. Which product is that? Looks more like a digital dash. I’m digging it

Got car all loaded up to take to Minneapolis to get my exhaust fitted and a CAI intake. Big moment for me as getting on the road will be happening soon! Still have a few things to do yet such as new door panels, install grill, body moldings and some prettying up to do. Once I get the car back, I’ll be ready for a dyno tune. Gotta pick out new 18 wheels too along w Wilwood front brakes. I have a couple styles in mind but it’s such a tough decision.

Yeah, that's my exact issue. Rims make or break the look!

Agreed. Rims can make or break a car IMO. That tv show, Kinddit design always does good work, but pics out the ugliest cheap wheel they can find. They have to be getting paid to used those ugly rims

Well the car is on the road and just needs a trip to the dyno. Fall is here in Iowa so won’t be long before it’s in storage again. It drives like a completely different car w all the updates. I’m in love. It’s very docile on part throttle but it’s gonna be an animal under boost!

it’s not the prettiest. I need to come up w a better solution for the wiring on the firewall. I’m def open to ideas! Gonna get some nice hose coverings and install my new Wilwood master cylinder over the winter.
