That looks real clean. I agree with Apex. The two tone will look even better with the molding gone. Great job.

that was my original plan, but i did it in class, and I ran out of time. Being that it is a replica of the c-west kit, lets just say it didnt fit as well as it should have. Now everything fits nice and tight with no gaps anywhere. It still needs fine tuning, but for now im happy with my work.

I protected the paint at the top of the door so i could do a blend instead of a painting the whole door. It makes for a cheaper paint job and i can scuff the whole care and clear coat it and will look fresh.

Motor is coming slowly. I have until Carlisle to get it done, but i know time flys so the motor is getting done next month. I'm going with a single gt45 turbo and run around 15lbs of boost. I just got i back from port and polish and now im on to new rings and bearings.
