Default Roofer Dave's car back from paint (56K warning)

Set to Debut at this years Autorama Dave Underwood's W2W build is ready for final assembly.

Here are some pictures just back from paint. The car was painted at our other shop and features an exclusive W2W color mixed by Sherwin Williams.

Enjoy, and the car is looking great Dave!











Gotta love the rear end

Engine is a 404 inch turbo motor.
Here is a thread around dyno time.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/422878-roofer-dave-s-engine-lives.html

The rear end is the standard 9" big boy drag race stuff, gun drilled axles, 5/8 studs and so on with strange brakes.

March 3-6

Dave's car does not retain a factory type LCA and was changed a few months ago.

The T-top delete panel will be installed with an adhesive during assembly.

The roof of the F-car is glued in place. This car was a t-roof car that we converted. The roof will be final installed with the doors on and windows up to align everything properly.
