I just figured out how to share my album so I'm going to whore out the pictures a little. Many of them are just BS, but you get the idea.

Dash is real carbon, laid over wood. I'm waiting for my upper dash pad from the UK to help complete it. Door panels are also carbon, but I laid them up myself, so they didn't turn out quite as nice.

Chromes good, I'm gonna be polishing that crap all the time though. I get it done for free, that's the only reason I'm doing it......welllll, it looks good too!

The car came from the UK originally. I pulled three sets of rocker panels off the thing due to rust. The whole floor has been replaced,, the sills, the rockers, and the rear valance.

I HATE RUST! Minnesota is a state that salts the roads to get rid of ice in the winter, and the cars get eatin up pretty quick. This is a summer only car, and probably will be more of a weekend driver/trailer queen. Every part on the car will be powdercoated, chromed or painted, and all the nuts, bolts and washers are stainless.


Well it's 4:15 am here....time for me to go bed!

I have not used POR-15 yet, but I hear it's some good stuff.

Snow can be good and bad. Good for skiing and snowboarding. Pain in the arse for driving, shoveling and vehicles.

I bet you'd think we are really crazy for driving our cars and trucks out onto frozen lakes and ponds too! Nothin like ice fishing!

Nope no kids. I have a dog though? Does that count? I finally paid off the loan just for the car. Believe me, I don't have the money. I'm in my 4th year of college.

I have been working on this for almost 4 years! Most of the parts are ebay finds or closeout deals. I'm a cheap arse!
