ST update 3/27/06
Sorry no pics for quite a while... been working on all the small details. The last 10% will kill you!!! The car NEEDS to be running within 2 weeks and it looks like I am on track for that goal. The interior should be finished tonight.
Take a look, here are some recent pics...

Great work. Any reason your keeping the chrome bumper trim behind the rear wheels?

Chrome trim? Well, I thought the leading edge on the steel rear bumper looked a little unfinished so I put the deco trim on it. Had it been a fiberglass bumper, then I would have left it off.
Specs... hmmm, 3.2 with upgrades, LSD 915, S alloy brakes, Alloy trailing arms, Bilstien Rally shocks, Weltmeister sways and 22, 28mm T-bars. Just light and fun... Alloy deck lid and license plate panel, entire body media blasted to remove all undercoat etc... Wheels and tires... 8, 9 x 15 factory fuchs, 225/50/15 fronts and 245/50/15 rears.

1.) Love the shot of your car pointed directly toward the police car !
2.) Put a rubber cap on the positive side of the battery terminal before your burn that beauty to the ground...just playin' nanny..... - Wil

I love that color.
My only change would be the chrome-trimmed front and rear lenses, to match the chrome horn grilles and rear grille. And then maybe a silver-spoke Prototipo? But then, I get a little too obsessive about this stuff. Gorgeous car, and great details all around. One of my favorites.

Jack, I agree about the lenses but I don't think you can buy the silver trimmed lenses anymore...therefore, I am stuck with black...at least for now.

Is it a fiberglass or metal insert for the battery which fits into the smugglers box? Beautiful job.
