Default Liam's NASA Spec 350z Build by RDZ Motorsports

I know this isn't the picture thread, but I want my fellow z racers to see the new layout on my car. I want to start bringing attention to the Wounded Warrior Project to the track. One of my good friends Justin Good owns a graphics business down in Tamp, FL called Redline Design http://www.redlinedesigntampa.com/
I contacted him with my thoughts and ideas, he then came up with the design. He flew up to Maryland last Thursday and Friday he spent 9hrs laying the new design on the car. Then Saturday we traveled around taking photos at different locations. Look for this car to be showing up at tracks on the east coast. Enjoy

Wrapping the wing is really hard being it has a lot of curves in it. We also didn't wrap the mirrors for the same reason.

If I'm not mistaken, I've seen your car at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. You should come out to Barnes and Noble off of Rockville Pike around 8pm. I'm a wounded warrior too, but I knew better and joined the Army.

I figured I would continue this thread as my 'build' thread.
I decided to go Spec z racing. RDZ Motorsports is building the car for me. Yesterday the car came back from getting caged. There's still a lot more work to be done.

I'll be heading up to CT this weekend to see the car and talk with the guys about the next step. We'll probably work on getting the seat installed so I'm comfortable. More wiring has to come out along with a few other things.

Looks awesome. Maybe you could plasti-dip the wing and mirrors if you want? I kinda like the red wing on the black. Not sure why but I do!

Went up to CT Friday and saw the car. The seat is in along with the steering wheel. The cross bar for the roof needs to be cut and adjusted, I can't sit in the car with my helmet on w/o my head hitting the car.
