Thank you guys for the comments. I have more pics of the undercarriage on my work computer. I tried to keep it clean and simple and make sure this thing is free from rust. I was very lucky to get a rust free car from NJ at the time. I just want to hold on to the car for a long time and enjoy it.

Very nice Jeremy. Car looks similar to mine which I hope to have completed in the next month. And I definitely agree with your statement about ceramic coating. I had bonehead performance do mine and the coating Hasnt even held up while the car was at the paint shop. The car doesn't even have any miles on it and the coating looks like sh*t.

Glad to see you got the car to the point where you're happy.

I got mine done from JNZ finishing. It looked great at first but it was the same quality as FP's ceramic coating option on the first run of these manifolds. It's so thin I couldn't image this coating actually helping my underhood temps.

Thanks cru.0

I got a trunk full of bubblewrapz in the car for sound deadening. I figured I'd do all of this now so I can enjoy the car a little while before I gotta replace sh*t. Next thing that may be on its way out is the turbo. Looking to go with an FP Green next. Nothing crazy.

That is a nice and clean build. Makes me feel the need to get my car finished so I can enjoy the remainder of summer.

LOL Thanks Chris. It was a deal too good to pass up. The fact they were on Gary's car and never ran on the street made them almost new. No one can tell the difference between the two sets of wheels though I'm sure.

GSX TC - Thanks took a while to acquire all the parts. Nothing too fancy but it will definitely get the job done

Shawn - I actually painted the window frames a few weeks ago. Looks soooo much better now. It really helps complete the car. I got the valve cover done by JNZ finishing. The color is Candy Red over Chrome. I wanted to keep it red because the factory valve cover was red (durrr).

Thanks for the compliments!
