I received the new 9" from Mad Volvo Performance and it looks great. I had it powder coated after welding on some brake line tabs. It is ready to go to the body shop and put under the car. Those 315 tires sure do look good. I am pretty excited.
The body shop was supposed to start on the quarter window modification on Friday or perhaps tomorrow. I think that is when the car will really start to visually transform.

Thanks Ahmad. It was great to meet you at the Ron Sutton seminar in Vegas!

The plan was to shave the drip rails or to create a very small lip by welding and shaping some round rod. I will wait for that decision until they have been fully shaved.

We have almost finished up the quarter windows. The glass guy needs to come over to make some measurements and figure out a solution for that. After that is done the flange for glueing in the windows will be added. The interior portion of the Windows is done except for the addition of upper seatbelt mounts. The seams on the rear roof and on the A pillars have been removed and the drip rail fully shaved.

I have been wanting to add some sort of rear spoiler to the car for high speed downforce. I don't want to destroy the lines of the car and have come up with a creative solution. I purchased a spoiler from a Crysler Crossfire which is an active spoiler. It looks like a a flat panel but when activated my speed or a switch it raises up.
I plan on integrating it into the deck lid of the car. The only difference you will be able to see will be a 3/16" line that will run the width of the trunk lid and be about 6" from the end. I should have the spoiler in on Monday and will keep you posted as that idea comes to reality.
After I came up with the idea I was doing some googling and
Came across a Chevelle that has already done it. Here is a picture of it.
