Just picked up today: yes the tire size is wrong. I’m back to the 15”s baby!

 

first stage of fluids added. Brakes are done. Drivetrain is done. Coming soon: Alternator and Turbo

 

Those wheels look fantastic and very period correct! Are you installing those blue TII seats I see in the background?

 

The intent is to re upholster. I got some Ultra Suede samples and plan to do a houndstooth for the inserts. the photo for inspiration.

 

I'm in such a similar boat! Your build is what I aspire to! I want to strip it and strip it and prime it and paint it and make it all look perty and shiny like yours! wow is all I have to say

 

I'm blown away by everything you've done... and I want to try and do most of it too! Yikes!

 

Red, thank you for the kind words.

 

Delivery took a hair longer than expected as stated on their website. Likely the anodizers being hit hard as well. Really looks at home in there!

 

Looks great and I have no doubt that it will perform great!

 

Am I really coming up to two months without a post?

I have a few things incoming. Soon I hope.

BNRSupercars has printed a UPS label, So hopefully my S5Hybrid will be here in a few weeks.

I also commissioned a custom shift ****.

Here is an in process picture that I was sent.

 

That is going to turn out beautiful. I am in the process of searching for a shift **** for my car. Who did you use and what was the pricing like?

 

Nath Gallager from Oregon is doing the work. I believe he asked for 60 for the ****, I considered that a bit less than he should have been asking so I slipped him an extra $20. His work is amazing. I have seen it in person and he an artist at what he does. The full disclosure is he has an expediting problem that almost is a reliability issue. I sent him payment in April, He finished up last week, Waiting to be mailed. Mind you my request was a bit more custom than a usual unit, I am glad I went with him. but if you expect "fast" you may need to be patient. That said BNR has taken 3 months to even as for payment and my exhaust bits form Racing Beat is still in limbo. So no-one has had "speedy service" lately.

This is the finished product:

 

Nice....I got one made by him...Nath Gallagher did my shift **** and he rebuilt my Nikki also...

This one is mine.......and yes.....it glows in the dark...😎

 

Restoration of my meshies. Stripped and blasted the faces before primer and gloss white paint. I chose paint as if I decide I don’t like the color I can easily strip at a later date. I also had to clean overspray off of eighty pierce bolts from the PO.

 

sweet, i was going to question the choice of white, but it looks good!

 

Wow.....I need a set of those wheels in my life...

Great job....

 

You and me both. This is why I did not power coat. White was not the color I was originally looking at. Then I saw pictures of a similar Formula Mesh and it hit me. So I'm trying the white out. I think it make the wheels look more prominent without the absurdity of 17" rims on a SA/FB chassis.

 

Thank you,

These just happened. Really did not expect to find a set that I could afford.

 

Got the shift **** and brake handle in today, still need to wire it in and I would like to get a new shift boot made. Thanks to Nath Gallager for taking his time to get this done.

 

Your pleasure in enjoying the beauty of the desired result, shows in your work.
impressive. Most impressive.

 

to say it’s been a fun 24 hours would be an understatement. Let me introduce my latest addition

 

Hey, Nice work on those old school wheels, have any more stardust blue? Love to see the centers painted to match...

 

Yes I have U2 paint left over. I considered painting the centers blue but I felt it would detract from the awesome paint job I was lucky enough to get.

 

Looking great brother....

For what are you going to use the switch on the shifter?

 

Launch control.
