Thanks guys......so here is today's update: Had to do ALOT of work to the interior pan and chassis to get the body to sit this low....the kit has the suspension sitting like a lifted truck all the way around. Ended up cutting out the side windows to create more room for the body to come down and sit on the interior, otherwise the interior would sit on the bottom of the window pan and lift up the body again :angry: . Also, had to trim the front of the dashboard to allow the frontend to drop. All-in-all, a real pain!

I did decide to go with my bright MOMO style seats for the interior because you can't not see them! Besides, I liked the look of them in my Ferrari build so I made another set. I will be making locating pins to ensure the body sits the same side to side in the end....but for now, here are some early mock up shots sitting on the chassis. ( please forgive the plastic dust all over it....I had to grind quite a bit!)

Also, I like to see how you change your profile picture for a build.

Thanks for noticing Miles. It lets people see what I am obsessing over and/or what is on my "front page" at the moment.

Thanks Ben! They are actually the rear wheels from two Shelby Series 1 kits inserted into Pegasus 23" aluminum sleeves.

Those wheels look killer on that Evo

Thank you Ben.

I am currently working on the graphics.......remember I said Time Attack, this is gonna be WILD!

Thanks guys!

Here is a sneak peek at the direction this is going....the decals are on the way for the sponsors (K+N, DYNOMAX, etc.) "Stripes" were done with BMF and VERY thin 3m vinyl.

Enjoy!

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it.

It's almost done now.....needs only the mirrors and the exhaust done. Really took on the Time Attack personality once the sponsors went on.

Enjoy the pics....the next ones will probably be in "Under Glass".

The only things you have going against you as far as competition with this build is that it looks so much like a race body that the bodywork may get overlooked and the black color, which shows off the good bodywork, makes it kind of disappear at the same time.
