Joe, you and Kelly did a great job and the lights look incredible. They change the whole look of the car.
Here are a few more pictures after I gave the car a bath.

Here is a closeup so you can see the difference between the black housing and the 40th gray turn signal shroud. The projector shroud got the same treatment.

It was good to meet you guys and Joe thank your wife for the snack for me.

Kellyefields engine is done. We added fluids tonight, tighten down everything, installed the exhaust and fired it up. No Dash lights, running smooth at 1000rpms, warmed up and dropped to 700rpms.

He is gonna get the LEDs all wired up and should be on the road Sunday

Got my rims and tires back today.. Also helped out Kelly prime his cooling system. Herd a knocking sound on the way over to his house and found that the sway bar connecting bolts were gone. The thing was just bouncing on the frame supports. Thats what I get for taking it to an alignment shop. Don't understand why they would need to remove the sway mounts. I got SPC adjustable camber arms and toe bolts.

Thank god the bushings and brackets are still there, just need 3 new bolts.

That was the most random comment. I really did laugh out loud.

Little DIY for ya... My Sway Bolts were stolen by gremlins so I went to LOWES and got the bolts I needed. Also saw some grease fittings so I bought a few.

I drilled a hole in each bracket and tapped the hole to match the threads and pitch of the grease fitting. When I get under the car I'll make a small grove on the polyurethane bushing to allow the grease to disperse evenly under the bracket.

Started working on the Hood, should have the radius's cut today..Will update tonight.

Nothing new, I sure its been don before on the forum. Just thought it mad sense to do. Cut down on wearing out bushings for all you AutoX guy's.

Got the hood cut today. Kelly wanted a 3rd vent down low. I had a bad feeling about this but Its been done. Funny thing is once you cut there is no going back so I made it work.

I think some cross sections will need welded in to sturdy up the hood for high speeds.

Found out today that my Tune is corrupt! There are two MAPS on the tune one for Cold one for Hot. At 75 or 80 degree's the ECM switches from the cold map to the hot. For some reason my tune isn't allowing my car to switch over. This is causing my engine to starve (Feels like missing or bad plugs). Good thing is Martin is re-writing the MAP and will Dyno Tune it tomorrow free of charge.

Free was the only word I herd while he was discussing the issue with me

. Will take a video and post numbers tomorrow.

. Just in time for Z Fest Sat.
