Man reason going with K-Sport is because they are one of my sponsors..

^^ They will come...

But for now here is what I have been working on.. Its a Housing for my STACk 8130 gauge.. It will mount in here with buttons mounted bellow it and then wrapped in black suede cause I am also getting my dash wrapped in suede. Then it will mount in front where the old cluster was..



Started with a sheet of Foam...



Getting it fitted...



Got it sitting nice and flush...



Got it wall wrapped up now it is ready for Wax, and some glassing.. Going to be fun..




Also have some sexy parts coming so will update once I pick up my transmission from Houston

So a little progress on the Stack housings and my Fan Shroud that Blake is making..



Started by cutting the Fiber glass fabric needed for the mold.. Then it was go time to glass..



After the glassing session I removed the foam molding and BAM!!! you have your self a nice fiber glass Stack housing.. Still have to do a ton of sanding to make it look nice, then add some bondo and sand a ton more again. But you get the idea..



Blake has been working hard on his build as well as doing my fan shroud and other goodies I have coming.. So thanks again buddy. Here is his build thread.http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=18371

Love it, and can't wait to mount it up.. Most likely paint it black too...



Also got a special delivery from Falken tires for my 19 DPEs.. Thanks to Mark at Fatlace for the tires and Jojo at DPE for the wheels.. Much more to come from DPE so stay tune..

Nice update but why the same holes in the shroud? Wont that defeat the whole purpose of a shroud?

And have fun with the cluster. Bondo and sanding work sucks buy I'm sure it will b baller.

What's size tires u running?

Added the gussets to the fan shroud to lighten and stiffen it.. And cause it looks badass

Yeah hate sanding... but once wrapped black suede it will look good.

Also running a 275/35 on the 13" and 245/35 on the 11" These are not my drift wheels.. Just drive around town, show/marketing wheels

Soon I will be helping make a new swap kit for an LS3 to go back in my old Z for the guy who bought it from me. Shortly I will be helping Eltness350z prep his car for Road America as well.

Not sure on a personal project yet.

sure, lacking in car updates blah blah, what this thread has really been lacking in is beer.

You tried DFH 75 minute IPA yet? comes in the bomber sized bottles, released earlier this season. my second favorite IPA after Jai Alai from Cigar City.
