More fab trickery today . Welded up a bracket to mount the 5lb Co2 bottle behind the glove box for easy access while being totally hidden. Tapped some holes to mount the boost controller to the bracket as well

Swapped out the Strange shocks for some Viking doubles, replaced the factory e brake lines with Wilwood to match the brakes, installed the driveshaft loop....OCD gets a tad out of control when even that has to be powdercoated to match the theme lol

Enzo created perfection but he went broke doing it. I hope you don’t do the same.

I can’t imagine the investment you have in parts alone. Amazing build!

Let’s put it this way, I’ve ensured I can never sell the car by how much I’ve invested. Which is great, because I’m building it for a very special purpose

I’m just worried that after the build is done you’ll lose interest. You’re a man who enjoys the hunt.

I can't imagine he'll lose interest in this one. He's gonna think of his brother everytime he lays eyes on it, let alone gets behind the wheel.

This. I’ve already gotten emotional at times just seeing the progress.

Yes and No. So CCW beadlock wheels are offered in 1” increments of width. The 15x10 is technically 15x10.33. What they don’t tell you is that it’s 10.33 to the INSIDE of the beadlock flange. With the beadlock on the measurement jumps to a full 10.75” from inside to inside. Basically an 11.33” wheel when said and done. The 27x10.5 wheel was literally the ONLY tire that would fit without A) hitting the inside or B) bulging too much on the outside. The tire is stretched but not “too small”. It’s a perfect fit. Though I wish the wheel was a bit narrower so I could get more tire under there. I’m the first with the beadlock wheel out back on a fox so I was a bit of a guinea pig

Interior day. About 70% done. Insulated the trans tunnel and front floor boards a bit, installed new carpet, quarter plastics, new black seat belts, incorporated a manual leather boot with the automatic shift plate for a super stock look to hide the FB 4r. Perfectly latching ash tray and console lid. One mint black interior well on its way
