So the car is almost done up at the Custom Shop. Not much picture wise, but here are a few they sent. I believe I will have it back in the next few weeks. Their mission was to Finish the console, redo the back seat, install stereo system and alarm, Install exhaust cutouts, upgrade the halo headlamps, move the remote oil filter so it's better fit,align the front and rear suspension, and they swapped the wheels for me. I changed the offset and went to 20's in the rear. I do have the full set of brand new 18" Foose Knuckles and Nitto tires I will be selling. The front was super close to the fender with the Reiley suspension. I think the set was around $2800. I'd take $2200 if anyone wants them. They also finished the trunk side panels to fit the sub and cover the battery.
Thanks , Keith

Very nice car for sure. I hope the steering wheel will be sorted out (appears upside down now), unless that is what you want.

Nice build!

In the last pictures showing the interior door and quarter panels, I noticed that you don't have window cranks nor power window switches.  Further, no holes in the panels for them either.

I scrolled thru your thread and did not find what you did.

Power windows with hidden switches?

It appears the window switches are on the console.
