Default Powder coat pics

So here are a couple pics taken with my cell phone camera. Not the best, but I wanted to take some because I was stoked. It turned out so nice! I will get some better pictures later on for you all!

Yeah, I would like it out sooner as well, but I cant come yup with all the money at once to build the car. Within the next month maybe two the entire car will be done minus the power train. That is whats going to take me a lil bit to pull the money together to make that happen. If had a way to pull out 25-30k out of my *** I could have it done right now instead of months, but since this is on my own dime and Im not a shop it takes a lil bit longer than normal!

Default More parts!

Well, I got my steering wheel, the weld on hub, the custom steering shaft, and my Wilwood pedal assembly. Getting closer everyday to getting this thing done! I cant wait. There is lil over 5" gap on each side from the fender fork to the fenders, thats how wide this kit it. So we decided to free some room up by the feet and mount the Air Jack system on the outside of the car but inside the fenders. Turned out really well! Enjoy the pics.

Purpose is to have a fun track car. Will be doing a lot of drifting with it since thats the main type of racing that I have done. I will start to dabble in road racing though. Overall though its to have a kick *** fun car to track and here and there drive down the road on a nice sunny day and hopefully not get it impounded lol
