I can't believe how good it looks, even my wife was excited.

It is a little darker than I wanted but so what.

I gotta shoot the rear lid again-too thin.

I think red cars are much faster and yellow ones smilie_flagge24.gif

cool. Do you have another piece that fits below the spoiler?
URY914
No room for anything else. Theres only about 2" below the spoiler and that drops to about 1/2" when I'm on the brakes hard.

Car looks awsome paul. Now that its all one color, it really looks long and sleek. Its the combination of the tonneau cover, no door gap, and no windshield. Very good lines and very unique.

btw,
how much did the paint weigh? seriously, how many quarts? Paint does weigh alot. I guess it added maybe 10 or 12 pounds no?
URY914
I used +/- a quart. I'll skip dinner tonight to make up for it. laugh.gif

It really does look long. The fenders are all wider than stock but it doesn't look it. Those are 7" rims with 225s and a 1/4" spacers on the rear.

what do the air inlets on the side go to?ram air to engine? rear brakes? oil cooler?
URY914
The NACA duct in the door is/will be/maybe not connected by hoses that dump air stright thru the fire wall and into the middle of the fan. Does it work? Don't know for sure, but looks cool. Problem is the duct is made from ABS plastic and I can't get it to bond to the fiberglass. It has cracks almost all the way around it. I might be taking it out. I currently don't have the hoses installed.

WOW way cool!!!!

I knew it would look great when it was painted and it looks better than I thought..

there is something to be said about when this question is asked

"who built your car"

ans:

"I did"

Great job Paul, can't wait to see it in person.... smilie_pokal.gif

Good job, bud! You should be proud of your work. Those who have never prepped a car for paint, or tried to control a paint-gun have no true appreciation for the effort involved.

I want to buy you a beer sometime! That's just cool. beerchug.gif
