Default Update...

Things have been crazy in the shop with the acquisition of a new distributor.
Tins got primed and final fit last nite. Frame is going to the blaster today.
Here's a few pics of where we are.

Polished dash, with carbon fiber insert.


The "Basket Case" is fitted, plus the diamond-plate bed caps.


Hood pins are finished,
along with some of the smallest hinges I've ever dealt with!


Just a cool shot taken from the "Bullring" Rock Race course, here at the Hive.

Well, until it arrives at it's new owner in Crawlerado,
Here's some finished shots to tide you over...

The keys


The Rig







This shot kinda shows the effect the light gives the Satin and Flat Black paint.


It's been a really fun build, learned a few things along the way.
Looking forward to the next one...

Wow Matt! What a amazing job. Thanks for building such a sweet rig. It's going to be hard to put that first scratch in it.

Your certainly welcome! But you better tear it up.
It may be purty, but I don't build shelf queens!

Matt, how the heck did you make #002 infinitely better than #001, which was infinitely better than anything else I'd seen built? At this rate, you're going to quantify the abstract equation awesome x infinity = ??? by #004. Good work, dude.
