alighment went good. I will post new pictures soon. It should be getting painted next week or at the latest the week after next.


It looks like I will be going to SEMA but as a feature vehicle. This means I wont be in a booth but my car will be in the hallway. Either way it will be there. Ben I will look for you there. I want to see your car in person.

No I like the side emblems. The Nissan emblems both front and back will not be there.

All the body work will be done and the new Katzkin leather/Suede seats will be done. That's about it.

Damn that is a longer drive then my car is making. I have a friend towing my car and I will be flying. I made the drive last year and wont do it again. 26 hours in my Expedition was more then I could stand!!! At the start I felt like I was in an Expedition by the end It was feeling more like a Geo. Lots of good sites to see.

Yeah, I flew out last year. I've never driven cross country, so i figured why not, couldn't get a better oportunity. It'll be me in the Z and my friend in his supercharged BMW M coupe. We're gonna take our time, stopping and checking out the sites, we're leaving Oct. 28th so it'll give us plenty of time to get to Vegas by the 2nd.

See ya there.

I am a firm believer in if you want a wide-body, it's best to do it custom. I rarely like any of the wide-body kits out on the market. This car by far is a work of art, money well spent. Very exquisite and clean. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Car looks great! What are the sizes of your wheels and offsets? Also, do you think that you will sell copies of your fenders?

Mazzoo, does it as though the nissan aero splash guards could work on that bumper? I really like the styling of that bumper but would need the splash guards to compliment after market deep sideskirts.......
Cars coming along nicely! Really looks great!

I would have to mod the splash guards some but it would work on the car. This is not something I am going to use because i think it would look funny with such a large tire.


Oh yea I have yet another date for the completion of the car. Now it has to be done by Oct 25th because that is when the transport truck is picking it up to take it to Vegas. Talk about cutting it close. I will be going up there on both Sat and Sundays to help work on the car. The guys at the shop are working overtime to get this done. Wish me luck because I WILL need it.
