Thanks guys! Hey Blake how long does it take for the subframe to get here?

[Blake Foster]

did you order yours powdercoated? if so then 10 days or so if not you should see it by the end of this week, i don't know which one Roger is sending you???
he would know, best to call him

Wow.... that paint scheme with those wheels are gonna look INSANE !

[John510]

I got some new parts this week. Speedtech frame and a bunch of Anvil carbon parts. I think I have a new name for my car too. I think it will be called "Bloodline" since its an extension of me and has red lines.

What do you guys think of this firewall design? Should I go back to the round or keep this angled version?

John, these are the wheel colors I've been beating myself up for over a year now. I really like em', so Please, get them on the car so I can get alook Great looking build.

I cant seem to find my other thread from a year ago so Im starting a new one. After about a year of not doing anything with the car I sent it off to finally get painted... Here is what its going to look like. Yes I know that it looks like Track rat but i will be using different wheels (see pic) and the only thing that will end up being like track rat is the actual carbon stripe layout (not too many ways of doing stripes). Specs:

LS1/T56
Fully shaved firewall
media blasted/rotissoried
G billet rear/Fab 9 shortened
Speedtech Subframe
DSE tubs
Air ride suspension
Shaved rear tank filler hole
All rear body lines welded closed
Black Interior with red stiching
Carbon fiber hood, cowl, header, trunk, and spoiler
Underbody bedlined
All new sheetmetal
Asanti AF144 wheels 19x12 rear with a 19x9 front wrapped in Nitto NT05's
Full Marquez interior

West Coast Autocraft is giving me an insane black paint job. Heres his words on what they are doing:
Spies Hecker FP 1002 (2 coats)
FP 1002 mixed 50/50 with Spies Hecker 8015 clear (1 coat)
75% clear and 25% color (1 coat)
90% clear and 10% color (1 coat)
Spies Hecker 8015 clear (2 coats)
pull the car out of the booth and let it air dry for 3-5 days.
Wet sand the entire car smooth with 800 grit and put it back in the booth.
Spies Hecker 8015 clear (6 coats)
Color sand (800, 1000, 1200, 1500) then polish

Heres some before and current pics. If you click my sig you can see the super rust bucket it was when I bought it




Car going bye bye for a while

Thanks Lenie,
Yeah I have been waiting for 3 months for my wheels to be finished by Asanti. Hopefully I will get them one day soon so I can post an actual pic of them.

Yeah, those wheels look SICK!! I can only imagine how nice they will look on that car. The red pin striping along the rim set it off BIG TIME!
As far the firewall goes, I like the angled cut out. Looks killer and is different.
Keep us posted.

Sweet parts you got there!!
As for the firewall, I would go back to a design that is a bit more rounded.
