Thanks CP
I will go and pick it up tomorrow from the interior shop. I still have to get the side glass in, my grilles and a few other little things but then I should be good to go. I am very glad to see that you are working on your car for once! Can't wait to see the stripe on it, I don't think it will look as bad as you think. Not sure you can go wrong with a purple car regardless of the stripe. Still think you might make it down this way anytime this winter?

Mark, The car is looking awesome. Looks like the recessed side markers turned out nice. I love it when a car just looks right.
Can't wait to see pics of the finished project.

I just noticed this, did you smooth the lower valance? I didnt see the cutouts for the bullets. Thats exaclty what I plan to do with the valance I bought from 4C.

Thanks for the prompt Gary. I will actually pick my car up from the body shop today and will try to take some pics. We have a few tweaks to do to the interior but it looks great. I was just thinking of you today as I am planning my next build, e-mail me you number and we can discuss. No hurry as this will likely be this winters project.

so how tough was it to do that rear valance? I know the bulges would have to be cut out and new pieces cut, formed, and welded in. No issues with the shackles hitting the back side?

My car has a 4 link in the rear so no shackles to worry about. The rest of it was just some time and test fiting.

Here are a few new pics.
