AZ Rebuild before Seven Stock...Take two

Maybe this time I will follow through on a build thread, I tend to get busy working and for get to update it.
With moving and a lot going on this year I still have not finished the stuff I wanted to do after last SS. So before SS I need to finish the body kit, stiffin up the suspension, paint the car, finish the steering, and maybe get it tuned. a couple pic's of the car as the project starts...

By my calendar, you have right at 2 months to get all that accomplished. Not impossibile but it will keep you busy, Good luck. What kind of body kit is this? Never saw it before, the front fenders are kind of Ferrari Pontoon Testarossa-ish.
