Nah ?Mike? - haven't talked to Van in a long while... this is a DGR Fab build. But not sure where Van has been really.

Ha but the dash is just a stock one with the stack... messed around for the first time with frp to make the cluster mold pretty interesting.

Hey man you should really take apart the headlights and paint the chrome black. It would complete the blackness!

Odd seems like everyone else can see them...?

TomLee - I thought about this but I like the contrast that the stock light brings to the car. It's meant to be dark/murder looking but I think keeping the headlights stock will help people ID the car quicker.

Lots of little things to do before Wed shakedown at Buttonwillow and then rollin to FD on Thursday... hope it all gets done!
