Since Chris is out of town camping and i designed the car and picked the colors, I figured I could chime in and answer for him. It's VW Reflex Silver.

It's been a long road but you have to be busting to see it in paint! I'm stoked for you, Buddy!

Camping??? I'd be sleeping in the car if I were in his shoes right now! I love the color selection. Can't wait to see the interior!

Turned out great Chris. What about the stripes, did we decided to ax them? I'll get some latest picks of my motor soon.

Chris, nice to see it painted. Wish I were at that stage. Is that the Mercedes Meridium silver? Looks really good with the red.

Rushforth 19x10 on a 295 Rear and 18x8 on a 245 up front- It is mini-tubbed- but i have lots of room for a 315 down the road

Thanks for all the compliments guys- I just got back into town and wanted to go about 200 different directions putting the car back together- but settled on starting with the Dynamat install- Chris

Lookin Good Chris. How are you going to put the inner fenders in?

I have to pull the fenders back off.. which is ok because i need to reclear them with the hockey stripe

Jake, those are katech- Rupp sent me that direction and as far as coils go i'm going to do something like Jody did here:

http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=15701&highlight=coil+relocation

As far as the build goes i understand way cars are DRY BUILT BEFORE PAINT- things that i thought should go right together fit like crap

but some stuff is engineered awesome

ATS - Detroit Speed stuff fits amazing- repop trim, etc from overseas is VERY frustrating to deal with...Chris
