Looks great! Too bad you'll have to share a month with some "amateur" shots... Did you use white paper for those? How did you cover your tracks? Would be a good topic ... aka "magazine shots"...

Specs as requested. The car is built following a road race platform. It is a street DRIVEN car. It was NOT intended to be a show car. However, it did win 1st place in the open modified class at the 2004 MCA / IMAFS show in Park City. There is NOTHING that has not been upgraded on this car.
Engine / Drive train >> 351-W full roller, Holley Avenger 770, Crane digital ignition, MSD Pro Billet Dizzy (453 Hp, 405 ft/lbs - FLYWHEEL), JME Hydraulic Clutch, T-% w/ hardened gears and carbon fiber syncros, 350 posi in a large splined 9"
Handling >> TCP Subframes. TCP Shock tower brace system. TCP Struts and LCA, Strengthened factory styled UCA, Edelbrock ISA shocks, Progressive front springs w/ Shelby Drop, mid-eye 4-1/2 leaf on rear. Randall’s powered R&P expected to arrive X-mas 2004. PS pump is a KRC. Tires are Yokohama ES-100 17 inch. Wheels are "modified" Racelines. I will add a Panhard bar and Slid-a-links soon.
Paint >> Three white primer coats block sanded between with the last one sanded to 800 grit. The color started as 2003 Ford Dark Shadow Grey. Five coats then sanded with 1000 grit. Then some House of Color Blue Ice in a mixing clear coat. After that we laid out House of Color Platinum Pearl for the Ghost Lemans stripes in mixing clear. Then 6 coats of high gloss clear. Duplex color sanded to 1800 grit. Then 3 step buff and polish. Then three coats of wax. Damb my arms hurt again just thinking of it....... Paint cost alone was well over 2K in materials.
Interior >> LeCarra Steering wheel, Ididit tilting telescoping column, Corbeau leather seats, rear folder redone to match. Three point Andover retracting belts. Power windows. Power locks. A/C.
Stereo >> Alpine everything CD/MP3 player, 600 watts, 10" sub, 6" rears, 5-1/4" component fronts on the amp. Plus, Custom Auto dual in the front dash and 6" in the fiberglass rear as presence speakers.
Security >> A very custom hybrid system which I will NOT disclose. Safe to say that I have asked three car guys to try and start it .. ALL failed. I understand that does not make it theft proof, just theft resistant!! Gotta get me a Trunk Monkey.
This project took just over two years and a lot of patience. Much thanks goes to my loving wife for her tolerance, support and HELP. She can, does, and did help turn wrenches.
