I would be so afraid to be working on a 4 million dollar car with 2.5 mil paint. But you're the expert which is why you're working on such a machine.

I'm a bit disgusted that this car has fram filters on it though. Are those really the only option left on the planet?

 

[NastyGT500]

Thanks all! It was a treat to get to work on this! Such a beautiful vehicle!

offroad: I see quite a few of them with Fram filters. I don't know why, but I see a lot with them!

Purdy!! Another nice job, Scott. Those seats are unique. No seat cushion bolster on the console side.

Thanks Bob!
