    Thank you! Today I got my new BBK O/R X Pipe on, got it tucked as close to the body as I can get it and I also got the front header panel & crash bar on. After I finish sanding & buffing the covers, we are ready to bolt them on!

    Nothing new here, I tried out my new foam gun yesterday and gave it a nice wash. Today we might tint my headlights & tail lights with clearcoat w/ black mixed in.

    Well I just got back from vacation last week and have got alot done so far. Got my headlights & taillights tinted, all the interior is done (seats in, new leather shift boot & ebrake boot, led domelights), got my hid ballasts mounted and all the wiring done & tested, taillight bezels sanded, buffed and put on, taillights bolted to the car with new sequential harness, wiper cowl painted and put on, lastly I got my hood struts put on. Next up: undercoat, final buff on the whole car and then put the exhaust on!

    Thanks alot man! I am really working hard to get it on the road this week! Tonight I modified the flasher relay to slow it down with the sequentials, put the bumper reflectors in and got the foglights installed with the hids. I really love how my headlights & taillights came out! We moved the car to the front and put it on the lift to do the undercoating tomorrow, I also need to bleed the brakes while its up.

    Video of the sequentials in action!




    Bad pictures through the glass of my foglights installed

    Today I got everything masked off and I used aluminum foil to wrap up gas lines, ebrake cables etc. and my dad undercoated it. It came out great! I unmasked everything tonight and left a fan run underneath it overnight to hopefully help it dry. I started to mock up the exhaust today so we are going to put it on tomorrow!

    Magnapack Catback I got off Mike @ WolfPack awhile back











    Some bad pictures of it after undercoating it

    Got the exhaust on today! What a pain in the butt that was, so much adjustment and glad I didn't buy it brand new or I'd be really mad about the fitment!


    We seen that the rear main seal is leaking, we have been keeping an eye on it but I let the car idle and I did a few revs with the new exhaust and there was a small puddle on the floor. Hopefully once I run it and get it on the road it will stop. Also found that one the rear brake bleeders was striped and wouldn't tighten, got a new bleeder and fixed it.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Yesterday I got the rocker moldings and front fender liners in and today we undercoated the fender liners. They were all faded and looked terrible, the black undercoating really shined them up and now they match the rear wheel wells! Brought my wheels out of storage and put the 04 cobra wheels away. Removed the 'SVT' center caps and they pop right in the new wheels!





    Everything masked off!





    And after
