Fantastic. That's the only word that I can think of that does this any bit of justice.
50....errr...Two Shades of Grey. An Encore Build Thread

IT’S ALIVE!! Lol
Obviously just a startup tune loaded and quite a bit of tuning to do but it was great to hear it crank and run after several months of hard work. Aside from a couple minor exhaust leaks and a dripping rear main everything performed great for the first crank!
Got the bumpers on and it’s nearly a complete car again. I’ll get the wheels on the car and adjust the suspension in the next day or so and get this thing outside for some pics.
PS I actually decided to remove the tint and keep the glass clear. Since the car is more of a “timeless” color scheme I prefer the clean/clear look. Plus I want the interior to be on full display at shows. What a pain it was getting the glue off omg
The chaos that surrounds a build lol

Thanks! Keep in mind it’s running out of an open down pipe so it’s quite noisy but....it runs! This Holley system will take some playing with for sure
Did I read a dripping main seal... are you for real?
Could also be loose rear oil pan bolts. Either way once the car is on the lift again it’s not a huge fix. It’s a complete build. You’re bound to find some leaks and loose odds and ends upon first startup. That’s a given lol

She looks amazing, congrats on finally getting her up and running.
100%. Builds this in-depth are bound to have some kinks to work out.
I love new edge saleens and wasn’t sure about leaving off the saleen decals. I was wrong. Looks killer!

Wow, that’s gorgeous out in the sun! Wheels are perfect, the way it sits and the carbon are awesome!

My buddy said the same thing when he finally saw it all together. IMHO I maintained the crucial aspects of a true Saleen while shaving the emblems and deleting the decals distinguishes it as a streamlined show car.
Thanks Geoff. It definitely meets or exceeds my standards. I'm happy with how the vision came together
It looks killer, at least put the number on the bumper.
I have considered it
WELL FREAKING DONE!

Do it subtly. Maybe in cf so it ties in with the hood and trunk lid.
It turned out beautifully, by the way.
