It looks like it is coming along nicely. I bet it is going to look awesome once he has everything the way that he wants it.

How did you guys hinge the gas door? I have similar issue with Johnys car maybe I can glean an idea off ya to make it simple!

I believe he used the stock assembly. He just modified it to work with the changes in the body.

That looks soooooooooooooooo........ NICE. I live in Austin and I can not wait for you to finish so you can do mine. LOL!! I bought a T-Top out of California last year but I would not think of attempting what you are doing. You have skills and I like the concept that is in your head that you are bringing to life. Keep up the good work.

If you live in Austin you should meet up with us sometime. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BatCityFieros/ We post our upcoming events there. Our next one is in June.


Here are all the new pics I have. I helped out a little bit on the wiring but I'm not much good at it. LOL

Headlights


Sail Panels, I think they are going to be changed but not sure.


Running Lights


Brake Light

If anyone is interested in purchasing the car he will sell it as is for 15,000. I think he will take 10,000 for the engine and trans. I believe that includes the wiring harness but I'm not sure.

I just went through this whole build and found it to be very in depth but seemed like a really cool idea. I love the ls4 build as well.

AND yet at the end I find out he is selling this? Man, I'd convince him to finish the build and enjoy the car.

If you get the chance ask him if the ls4 is worth it as far as like money,time,complexity versus a l67 swap.

I have tried to convince him to finish it and have kept the project going a little bit but he has been wanting to sell it for a while now. In my opinion and his the L67 is an easier swap. He believes an LS4 with the right tune would beat a 3800 SC.
