It depends on what color I decide to paint the car. I am thinking maybe lambo green and if I do I will do the int. in black leather with green stitching.
but if I do it in another color I was thinking about a charcole gray. but I am not sure yet I still have time.
I dont know if I want the car to stand out with a wild color or if I just want the mods to stand on there own.

not much progress on the car so far this week but I do have an update of sorts.
I talked to Archie and he is going to get the windows out to me asap.
ThaDriver is making me a new hood vent and fiberglass doors that should be done by thursday.
I also talked with BonSpeed and the wheels will be shiping in 3 weeks. I can't wait!
if anyone is interested in any of the BonSpeed wheels I have just been setup as a Dealer
they will make any wheel any size and bolt pattern at a Great price and they will fit your car the way you want them to.

Hey, Whodeanie. Though I'm somewhat a purist when it comes to altering an original vehicle, I must say that yours is coming along beautifully. Doesn't look like you'll have it finished before RFTH, though. If you still plan to attend the RFTH, I have an empty passenger seat. Would enjoy the company. LMK

my car is far from done. I would love to go but I have a contractor class that starts that weekend and I can not get out of it.
I wanted to go it would be fun. next time I guess.

I just talked to Bonspeed wheels and ordered a set for my car 19 x 8 front and 20 x 10 rear to fit the widebody.
they have no problem with the bolt pattern because all of their wheels are custom made to your spec's here's a picture of the wheels I will be getting

I thik they will look great on the car. the only drawback is it will take about 6 weeks to get them.




Hey Whodeanie, what's the ETA? Have the made they fronts yet? Several people asked about the ones your getting while I was at CTHC III.

What's the weight on the rears? Please, don't forget to place the rim on a scale. I know Demacheo and Dave might be interested since both have 88s.

Just a little update.
last night was the first time I was able to do some work on the car in about a week. I did not have a lot of time but I was able to work on the rear facia a little.
more bodywork and sanding. I hope to have the rear finished by this weekend so I can get the car in primer soon. it is hard to see what needs work when the car looks like a patchwork quilt.
here is a picture of the rear as it is now it still has a very long way to go but it is starting to take shape.
I should be able to post more pic's on monday with I hope way more done.

It's coming along nicely. I like the fact that you left an opening between the tail lamps. However, I wish you would resize your pics.
