Got tired of looking at it with the hood up and without the headlight covers and header panel, so I took a break and gutted a set of headlight buckets and installed them. I am going with a standard GT Racing vented nose piece, but had the LR unit that was already painted so I used it for a mockup. And the jackstands under the splitter are in no way holding up the splitter....as far as you know.
Man is my garage is a mess.

Thanks Ski.
Craig - yes it is and yes I am. Unfortunately, while the car is plumbed for ABS, the wiring had been pulled out. I have the ABS trailing arms and front hubs, the ABS roller, the wiring harness that connects he controller to the pump, and the rear chassis harness. I still need the front chassis harness and then figure out how to connect it all together - should make a good winter project,

Looking good Skip, you're gonna have a nice winter project. And I had a LR Stage V vented nose, but on a street car. After I had it on, I took it off for I didn't like the looks of it at all. But to each his own though. Anyway, I think the GT one would be much nicer on your car.

It's a GT Racing carbon fiber racing dash with a Stack gauge display. I have been thinking of ditching the Stack display and going with AIM Pista display - would definitely go that route if I was starting from scratch.

Check out the race technologies digital dash - it interfaces witht the Tec3 now to share info. It also works with the Race technologies datalogging stuff.
The carbon fiber dash is a little too flexible for my taste (I installed the one in Skip's car for the previous owner). Go for the fiberglass version.

Nothing monumental. Been quite busy with work, its been cold as hell in my garage, etc. I've gotten some smaller task done, mounted up some 275's and 315's onto my rebarreled BBS's and the son-of-a.. rears rubbed. So I need to find outer halves that are 1/2" narower and inner halves that are 1" wider. I also now have 16 BBS wheel halves that I need to sell. I have collected sme more parts, so hopefully I should be able to pick up speed as soon as the weather starts to break - we just got 6 more inches of snow Saturday.

It's been awhile since I've done an update, so here it is. I am slowly making progress but have been picking up speed lately.
I got the trans in in with the Lindsey sold mount and Autothority short shift. Believe it or not I pressure washed it and scrubbed it with Simple Green and it still looks pretty grimey.
Installed a Lindsey shifter - very well constructed.
