Your paint job looks nice, did your painter undercoat the bottom, if not now is the time. I hope you finish in time for SAAC, if you need anything just let me know.

Eric, if you grind a little off of the corners of the plenum flange where it mates up with the heater it fits much better. Then use some self sticking foam to seal it off. Layout and drilling the holes is a pain, I used a dremel to drill little pilot holes and then drilled from inside the footbox. My right angle drill wouldn't fit on top.

The paint looks great, makes me wonder if I should have gone red instead of silver.

Eric,

Sounds like you are there, I am going to work hard to make it. I will trailer it down even if unfinished. I can always work on it at SAAC. No, just kidding. Wanted to get at least 200 miles on mine before having a full 4 wheel alignment by a indepent rear suspension expert. See you there.

Eric,
The car looks terrific, it is sitting really nice and level. Put mine on the road last Sat. for 7 miles. Just a little shake down run and the carpet is about half done. It will be at the last minute but will make the trip to SAAC. Look forward to seeing another RED car there.
