[QUOTE="BYEPOLR, post: 16478232, member: 194103"] Bringing this back from the dead! Some of you may or may not know that the car was sold to another member of the forum (I’ll let him announce himself). What you didn’t know is that prior to him taking delivery of the car, he had his heart set on some additional modifications to enhance the car even further. While I had my reservations on some of the things we discussed (probably a pride thing on my part lol) ultimately we worked together to ensure that the car was not “over done”. He wanted the roof replaced with a genuine carbon fiber piece. He also enhanced the look of the front end with a carbon fiber grill delete. He also wanted to blend the paint on the hood to make it look more cohesive along the body lines. While doing that he chose to delete the antenna which resulted in having to blend the paint all the way back down the doors again!! Lol I must say the end result really did turn the car up another notch. One of the other things that we focused on over the course of the next several months was dialing in the tuning through the Holley software. I spent several hours with Greg Powrie who is a master Holley tuner dialing the car in to be totally streetable while still being a monster in boost.Overall I would say we accomplished just that. I will say that I wish I would have been able to deliver the car sooner but several things got in the way of that happening with the COVID-19 deal (don’t get me started on that crap). The body shop was closed for a significant amount of time. Transport companies were closed. It was a total mess. On the other hand though the gentleman who bought the car was incredibly patient and encouraging as I focus my attention on the build of my coyote notchback. I can’t say enough good things about him and I really feel as though this process allowed us to establish a friendship. Anyone that has had the chance to work with me on some thing knows that I very much value relationships over possessions or financial gain.
