The paint looks amazing

Thanks,
I'm a professional detailer, Been doing mobile detailing for 30+ years,New paint job's are the enemy to me.... It was harder then i thought to scout out a good Auto Body place. After searching over 30 different shops locally,multiple e-mail est. sent out to others, i only found one guy that can turn out a flawless paint job.

No trash,No sanding marks,No runs,No blushes,No unevenness,No color difference's on all the different panels,(An warrenty's his work..)

When the car's finished i'll post the recipe

Enjoy!

6-15-12 Update!! The rear assembly's going together,I went ahead an ordered new front turn markers an signal lights,I can't find a New rear impact bumper strips!!,Guess everyone's been hit in the arse, i never have but i have pushed cars , so got new fronts. For now i'll just use my original one, it only as one or two goobers on it. The GBodyParts.com Dash is in , What a difference -vs- the Cap,Thanks Brain (now send my front fuel lines!...heh) Side mirrors are on, i swapped out the passenger adjustable from the dash for a manual adjustment.
XFI's at FAST being programed an updated. When it returns i find out how to attach the Speed Sensor on the currie 9". Still removing the front windshield. Getting Limo tint an strip like whats on the front now.I pulled a rear window out of a Cutless that had defrost to replace my rear that had a hole in the top for 80's cellphone jack (I bought this car used in 90' with 62,000 miles,$11,300)

Enjoy!

6-18-12 Update!! Paid the rest on the car,Rears going together an hopfully by next post the whole car will be assembled,Picked up the dash cap an will have for sale at the end this build along with other parts an pieces.

Enjoy!

6-25-12 Update!! Cars nose is on. Intercooler an Radiator been sprayed with sneaky sneaky heat dispersant paint. All the parts are in. Only thing left to get is set "custom" rate springs, 1" drop in front, 2" in the rear (The BMR control arms dropped front an 1" already). Currently with more steel parts still to be added, the car sits 10 inches (from behind front wheel) off the ground an 11 3/4" (measured in front the rear wheel) in the rear. Not making a asphalt scrapper but lowering enough for stability for constant jaunts at over 100mph +. 8^)

Enjoy!

6-29-12 Update!! 519 hours in the build...So much for the car being all together already..the assembly's in slow motion..The Rad an Intercooler are in,nothing fancy on the sound system,just alpine cd deck an good speakers all around. I don't like Fords, but the one i think's neat was at the shop today..I go back in a week,Still have to pull the 9" chunk out an have custom yoke made for the traction control sensor (mines to big at 2.5" ),but that's all the hard parts,Last issue i might have after completion is wiring bugs,(The XFI,GNX Dash,Alky,Voltbooster,Newly added XFI boost solenoid )

Moich Fun!!

Enjoy!

Update!! 7-6-12, The cars basically all together now, Working out the turbo inlet an out let routing now,(the out-let hits the GN1 duel fan assembly) Adding the core support frame brace,re-fiberglassing my old KB lower front spoiler back together ( i hit a parking curb while back an it took the middle out) The cooler hanging between the intercooler pipes is a oil cooler. The 9" chunk i drove to Advanced Driveline of Florida, there reducing the yoke size to 2.188" from 2.50" so the traction control collar fits. I go back in week.......

Enjoy!

7-18-12 Update!! Well...I thought i just had a seal leak in the currie 9", Wrong, it's toast, the gears are burnt an knife edged. Getting the unit fixed. Was just re-built with less then 3 months on street driving only.Found the bolt-in currie 9" are only good to 435hp.... The Front Lower Spoilers fixed an being mounted.(made to look like i still a Stock Location Intercool,It's the Oil cooler you see) I went correlated Radiator hoses,easier to route away from heat an the ribs offer some more cooling. the front an rear frame braces are mounted, I await the rear-end now then it's back in busniess..

Enjoy!

8-27-12, The rear's being mocked for the new rear custom built Q1'a, Front's are in an Done!! Battery's going in the spare tire holder then i'll get a trunk kit to hide it. Now i'm debating the seat upholstery. Go Leather stock color's or stay stock colored cloth...it's $200 difference,but with the leather kit you get the rear side an front side door panel material too...It's almost ready for the first fire-up!!!

Enjoy!

[HelloBozos]

9-5-12 Update! The Rear's been mocked an being assembled an checked for straightness,The battery box is in (adding a fake one in front to hide relays an the Alky pump). Once it's rolling again an battery's in it it's time to Power it up an debug anything found. It's about that time to Call goddess Holly for Cal....The Xfi's been 2.0 updated an traction control installed. To make sure i dont screw the pouch i'm have Cal Hartline go over the car before first fire,then hopefully fire it an go for some test drives, I can't dyno it yet till i break in the brand new gear's in the rear, so'll we'll just do drivability test an knowing me do one full throttle hwy run at 22psi.
