Great Job Jaime - we're going to have the same rear but my front will still be in a training bra (slant).
Looks wonderful - also did you get the brake ducts Hank sells for the rear quarters? My stuff from AIR had the inner intake built in, but I think from looking at hank's catalog that the brake duct might have what you're looking for.
Again, looks fantastic!

Have not done much. Work has kept me busy these past few weeks and work travel will keep me from working on it during the next two weeks... There has been activities (car related) every weekend here in Orlando (or close by) so that does not help
. Between the stuff I have to do at home and with Rennsport III this weekend I will not be doing anything to the car this week either... if I can squeeze some work in the afternoons I will post photos.

Jaime, Where does the "wet/dry" filter go? Are you also getting ready for a reef tank? I am up to my eyeballs in a minireef. I have an 85 gallon main tank a 20 gallon sump, a 50 gallon refugium, 400 watts of 14K M.H. lights, (I don't remember how much over the refugium) 2 power compact actinics, a huge skimmer, chiller, powerheads up the wazoo, and use 2 1/2 gallons a day in R/O top off water. The tank has been two years with out my having to do much more than scrape the glass and empty the skimmer. Go glass, go shallow, and go overboard on equipment. I have 100's of very happy euphelias...and yes, your car looks great.

I have had the tank for more than 6 years... without water, in a corner, just waiting... one weekend we decided it had been sitting long enough and went out to get the stuff that was missing to get it going.... that wet/dry got replaced by a glass sump... since my wet/dry was purchased 6 years ago I don't think they will take it back
.... so it sits in the garage waiting for me to decide what the heck I am going to do with it...Here are a few photos...
Using this instead of the Wet&Dry...
From that photo I have replaced the lights with and added two shrimps...
Nemo, Marlin, Dori, Bubbles, Jacques, and Jacques Rouge + cleaning crew...
72g Bow Tank, Euro-Reef RS-80 Skimmer. Current Gamma UV 15w Sterilizer, MagDrive 9.5 pump, 48 inch Current USA SunPod 2x150W 14K HQI-MH w/ 18 Lunar Lights , 75 GPD Ocean Reef +1 RO/DI

If you don't mind the hijack, I'll post some pictures of mine when the DSL comes back up tonight. (We only have DSL at night 'cause we are 30,000 feet from the terminal. or that is what Verizon tells up) I should do an "off topic" thread.
EDIT: what a jerk I am....I love the set up. It's as much about the set up as the animals. You have nice equipment. and the addition of the lights will bring all kinds of life out of the rocks. don't tell anyone but we got some cool calerpa off West Palm Beach a couple of years ago. My uncle lives on Lantana Island a couple hours from you. Keep it up and enjoy it. Your kids will find all kind of cool little animals to watch.

Well.... holidays, work travel, and honey-do-list has kept me away...
I even had to redo all the measurements for the wheels...
A few photos to keep this alive while start working on it again...
Part of the reason to measure again is that I was not keeping the hub at the same height... remember Pythagoras' Theorem? Anyway, finally got the right numbers and sent them to Jeff Alton ( the folks that are building the wheels). Going with Kodiak racing wheels.

No updates. I am still waiting for the wheels to arrive. I need to mount tires and wheels to the car to validate clearance with the rear qtrs before I glue them...
I hope to see the wheels in the next two weeks (do you guys remember the movie The Money Pit.... when asking the contractor when it will be done they always said "In two weeks"... )...
