that thing looks like it will be a badass monster.....I love it...

That't alot of body filler :)

Looks neat!

Smurf color!! Looks sweet man!

Thing's a damn beast. Mad Props, yo.

Haha.

But seriously, the car looks great.

Love the wiring. Hope you dont get into and fender benders.

looks like laguna seca blue :)

Smurf color +1

That car looks bad ass though. Good luck on the build up :)

I agree... one of my fav. colors

Having seen some of their work in person, as far as paint, they are top notch in the Atlanta area. Hope I get to see it when it's done.

To what shop are you referring Tim? My 7 needs body work, and I am in Atlanta.

wow... some serious work in that car so far. good job. what is this car being built for? street/track?

are you planning on wrapping the harness? i'm going to re-do my stock harness in the midst of building up my engine, so i'm curious as to what materials/brands you plan on using.

Did you make it or buy it?

It is laguna seca blue. there was a huge thread about this car a few months ago.

laguna seca blue :D

www.kbodyshop.com

That's their website for the guy making this car.

this is the harness wrap, I believe this sleek black wrap has been discontinued but here is the superseding material.

absolutly insane...


:) :) :)

agreed

hahaha flame retardant... little overkill for my application, think i'll stick with silicone wrap.

so what's with those pedals? looks like they're remotely operated with hydraulics...

if these questions have all been answered sorry and just link me to the other thread where they are.

Looks great bro, i'm lovin the color alot too. Wish i had an FD to work on like this... let alone a car in general to work on. Keep up the awsome progress.

All lit up
 

The beast is pulling up a strange website????

It appears that you are friends with the owner of the car, can you have him check his pm please? Or is it better for me to email his shop? Do you have any info on the pedals installed?

Great project and again, great job on the wiring, looks fun.

What kit is that?

Sorry if I didn't respond. I'm running 2 businesses and it's very hard for me. Dubulup is helping me with..., well he's doing eveything!

The pedal set is from Tilton engineering. It took me a long time to get one. They say I have the first one they made. There's others out there but for some reason none of them have a 3 pedal set. I do have a 2 pedal set if anyone wnats to buy tem. You will need to use your stock gas pedal.


If you're the guy that asked me how much would it cost to smooth out the engine bay, it's not worth the money. I know it looks like the seams have been bondoed over and painted, but no. All seams have been welded, not spot welded, but completely welded. It does not have bondo. Bondo is a plastic filler, we used a alumumium filler so it doesn't crack under high temps. All together we added 20lbs to do the entire car. Not too bad considering we lost more than that per seat.

The bumper is DRFT. The sides are knightsport. The back is Veilside(old school), had to rice it up a little.

Hoping to pass anything on the road.....
 

Anything but 2 gas stations.

"I live my life at 8 gallons at a time"

No keys????
 

Hidden battery cutoff switch, removable steering wheel, fuel cutoff switch, ign cutoff switch, nothing is going to be labled.

It's going to be a little difficult to steal the car. Well, unless they tow it. Damn it.

Just get single lug wheels, and a built in air jack system like supergt cars. take off your wheels when your not driving :pokeowned

Yes I am the guy that PM'd you about the labor, why do you say that it is not worth it, because of labor cost (amount of time)?

Yeah, labor cost and amount of time. I guess a shop can do it in about a week but I don't know what shop would do such work. Maybe if you learned how to weld and did it yourself, you might save lots of money. Time is the biggest factor.

Thank you for explaining and I appreciate the advice.

How much did it cost yah for that dash to be made?!?!?

rut roh, lupe might be scared there is another FD out there as light or lighter than his car! sweet jebus!

The cost of materials...pretty much everything is made in house.

very nice job guys. The car looks like it will be a really clean race car when its done. Im wondering what your power and weight goals are for this car though. Also, is this car going to be used for drag racing, tracking, or both?

pics of the car as a whole would be pretty cool too :)

only one I'm at liberty to show
