I can't say enough about how tastefully this car is being done. So far all of the choices you have made have continued to step  the car up on it's way to completion. By far my favorite color. Spot on body work. Great choice in wheel/tire combo. Glad you are going with a white interior to contrast the plum that is a great offset. Very envious of this car as it sits now and it only looks like it is going to get better. :coolgleamA:

Radio installed, looks original but has 4x45 watts per channel with pre-amp outputs, and aux input. Sounds great and has bluetooth capability so I  have handfree phone use as well. I have a total of 1200 watts of power and it all looks stock.  :coolgleamA:

Thought i would throw my last pic in for the year. I'm done for now, until close to spring when I get the last wave of money to finish this project. Had the car out for a short drive and freed up the lift to replace the rusted brake lines on my old Tahoe. The lift is the only way to tackle that project.

Slow but sure she is getting close to complete. Took her out for a drive Saturday when it was nice and snapped some pics.

Agreed i'm going to wrap them in black to try and hide them better

fy469rtse

love this car ,
first time I'm going to comment on anything ,
yes the hose's under the rear , you would get away with them if red or black ,
interior , I know its going to be white , but the cage stands out too much in white, I know against the hood lining
maybe black to the portion you see in side window opening ,
but in a gorgeous car , will handle and drive great

Thanks for the comments Geoff, believe it or not the main hoop of the cage is hidden from the side view when the rear window is up with the chrome on it. So it won't be as noticeable. The windows will also be tinted which will hide them even more. I do have to put roll cage padding on still, to make it legal on the track, and will have that main hoop portion covered with black padding. It's all part of the plan...  :cheers:

Looks killer! Got a mean looking stance sittin there with those wide tires!

I personally dig the white roll cage, blends in with the interior nicely.

I agree, the stance with those wide tires makes it look wicked, which is a good thing!   :yesnod:   I'm about to dig through this thread to see what suspension and wheel/tire setup you used.   looks awesome!   :2thumbs:
