SPOILER ALERT!!!!
I have almost finished up with the spoiler tips.
Its been a bit of a process. in the building of the tips, trying to get a good looking arch that goes with the body of the car and arch of the taillamp pocket.









I do have some finish work to do before primer but that's on step closer to completion

everything has been primed and assembly is almost complete. I have to adjust some gaps and finish moldings and mirrors. I am letting it sit in primer for a few weeks or so to allow all the body work to finish shrinking if there is any. The car will be put back on a trailer and headed to SCHWA Motorsports for the correct wheels and suspension, and tuning.
Everything is looking better than expected. There are some pin holes and such that will be addressed before paint.

Thanks. We are all excited to see how it looks with some color.
I would honestly say we achieved our goal of making the car look as close to stock as possible while achieving a total of 4 inches wider than stock stance.

Great to see a wide-body done with a smooth finish instead of the exposed rivets style AKA Liberty Walk. Well done!

Thanks. I like clean lines. When you do it for a living it has to be perfect

there hasn't been any progress with body work. just waiting on everything to shrink down before we move to the final stages of the build.
here are some more angles
