pics of my fc

Afew pics of the car. Wheels are 18x8front 225/40 and 18x9 rear 265/35. The front is an e-bay /bomex knock off which after 6 hours of sanding and fiberglass work fits o.k. After these shots I did the suspension so it doesn't look like a 4x4 any more. All I have left to do is install the engine and complete my dash---it will be all autometer.

Wow, interesting color!

Is it a NSX S-Zero color or 350Z color code?

Weight reduction is usually more productive if you gut the interior rather than the engine bay! - Just kidding, nice clean body work

I need to get all the parts together to mount the engine and I am building a custom guage cluster so hopefully by mid summer I will be driving it. Unless I win the Lotto then it will be a few weeks.

Just the materials cost around 400.00 and I did all the work myself and a friend sprayed it for me. When I did under the hood I had everything off the firewall and the door jams were done with the doors off the car so it came out pretty good it just took time.
