The car is at Vision Motorsports (delivered today) getting the 35 gallon fuel cell installed in the passenger seat area with a dry break and fire wall and cage mods done.
Also they are doing the install, ducting/venting of (on the tube frame part of the tub in the front) dual Fluidyne 12"x9"x3.5" oil coolers with the RH radiator in the front.
Lastly (maybe lastly... depending on how broke I am when they get done with me....) they are doing the rear carbon diffuser/tunnel install.
And I'm probably going to have them do the 997 front control arm/upright deal (since they made the rear suspension carrier last week).
Then it's going to get powder coated, then the drive train gets installed.
ETA is 2 weeks.

Love the gun metal color. Sticking with your favorite color is an easy choice. Dare yourself to be different. I only went half way towards that route of course. Half black. my favorite... and the other half gray and white. Full race car needs a full race paint job.. GO crazy.

If it were up to me, I'd do something far more track appropriate.

Should look great! From a practical finding-dropped-nuts-and-bolts-and-stuff perspective I've always preferred white floors on my race cars, but white certainly doesn't look nearly as cool. Looking forward to pics!
