Erik Hanba owns it now. He is running it full time, where Lee was only running it as a side business. I had alot of issues with products from there in the past, but the new owner seems to really be addressing those issues. I e-mailed him with some user-friendly solutions to some of the areas that could be improved upon with the suspension and brake kits. He actually listens to his customers, so Held Motorsports will be offering better products in the near future (After working some of the bugs out, nothing major). I'm excited to see someone taking the initiative to turn this business around. BTW, Lee was a salesman, Erik is an engineer.

^^^Sweet. Which spring rate did you go with? Are you planning on powder coating those to match your car?

Clay, I will leave them that color I kind of like them and they are 325's

well here is a little update.. just bodywork but I was able to get the drivers side front cut and glassed to match the passanger side of the car.
I still have more to go on that part but it needs to dry before I can do more there.
I have been working on the rear facia for the last few days. when I built it there were things I did not like so I have been re-doing them and I still have way more to go but it is starting to take shape.
last night I just snaped a few pic's. it is still ugly but getting better.

if you notice the tail lights are not in line I offset them about 3/8" like Ferrari and the depth is stagared as well the outside ones do not stick out as far as the inside ones.

I really like the rearend! Offsetting the light is subtle but makes it.

TTT_ I stopped by today to see the car (and slow down the progress). The car is definitely coming along well and the pictures don't do the car justice!

I like the one-piece (bumber/lamp) mod.
