The interior is just a one off complete carbon fiber dash that looks like the stock one. I havn't had the time to finish making all the other interior panels out of cf yet. All autometer cobalt gauges. Full cage, seats, etc. Still has a radio and I still have the heat in the car since its a street car.

Again, I built the car. If you want the name of my shop, pm me. I'm pretty sure I can't post it since I can't even post in the WTB Parts section of this forum anymore

Yo Kyle... I wanted to meet you but never ran into ya out there. I found out later you were talking to Adam when I walked by once and patted him on the *** and said good-game I was the giant red-headed guy with the little tiny short-blond haired girl that blew by. Anyhow, maybe update that post on his Firehawk; it's Adam, not Andy heh heh.

Dustin (aka 69vette) has put an amazing amount of work into that car and should be very proud. He's younger than anyone I know who has done anything like that. He has done it while balancing a BSME program and buying/selling parts and services to pay for it all on his own.

Congrats to MM for his award as well. I had fun and so did the rest of RPM. See you guys next year and I'll drag my lump down there and put it out on the boardwalk.

Anyway, thanks for the pics.

Those pictures don't even do those cars justice. First off, I was blown away by seeing Mighty Mouses car even there. The last I heard I saw pictures of you running into the wall goin' down the track. I wouldn't have thought you could throw together another incredible car in such little time. Second off, wow! I wish I would have been able to see the black f-body in question w/ the hood up. I didn't walk by until like 330 and everything was shutting down. Beautiful car though, and Lastly, Kyle, do you purposely show off no matter where you go? I stood behind your car while you were revving it up, and then when the BOV dumped, I said to myself, ah, what a show off, haha. I noticed your passenger tire was slanted, why is that? I told my girl about the time you sheared the bolts off your tire and were left tireless on the side of the road. She was really impressed.
