[syborg tt]

Geez. I keep thinking the end is in site, then I figure out 10 more things that I need before moving on.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

First off the car looks incredible

10 more things - that's funny just wait till you see how many times you say that over the next few weeks

We just finished having the fenders, hood and rear bumper installed. After listening to feedback from others, I decided to have the bumper painted black to match. Shiftworks shifter just arrived. I have most of the glass in and am wiring the stereo. I still have to get a measurement for the drive-shaft so that it can be ordered from Inland.

A few quick update pics.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm trying to get it ready to take to Tracey at Recovery Room for the interior. Actually, I should have delivered it to him two months ago. I'm finishing the glass/power window install, shifter, drive-shaft and I think it's ready. I really wanted to drive it down the driveway before having the interior installed.

I didn't do any power door locks, but I'm thinking that I should. Would somebody chime in and tell me what is involved in converting to power locks and what company makes a good product there, please? I have the ISIS system, so I should be able to use that to operate them.

Looks killer Rod, looks like it's in a mini DSE shop

MODO makes a bolt in kit after you drill a couple holes to mount the bracket with template provided. You would need 2 inputs to add to ISIS. We have the brackets on our website, and can include the actuators with them

Awesome build. I didn't think the rendering was possible, but it looks like it was pulled off!

I noticed that you modified your fenders to blend with the door...are you using flush glass, or doing away with the trim pieces?

Got any close ups of the glass/fender/door area?

Nicely DONE... WOW..

All I can say is holy crap... that is my EXACT plan for my 67 almost to the letter from three years ago! Great minds must think alike! lol. I tried to get Kris to render mine a year and a half ago, we talked a few times and I never herd back... That looks sick tho, great job! I need to bookmark this thread to jack some features of your build...

[RodDawg]

That's funny! Kris did a great job with the rendering, but it did take a very long time with all of the back and forth communication.

Absinthefun-I will get a closeup of the fender. I havent decided exactly what trim to use around the windshield. The trim sent with the flush kit wasn't wide enough so we used a trim front the glass shop. It fit all but the bottom sharp corners. Right now I have the trim ending at those bottom corners (kind of like some of the newer vehicles). I'm just not sure right now.

Thanks again everybody!!!

Powercell 1 is in the front mounted to radiator support
Powercell 2 is on the tranny tunnel just under the dash
Powercell 3 is mounted in the trunk behind back seat
Mastercell is under dash in the cowl area

I would like to see close up shots of the glass install also.... I have the same kit and am not sure of the trim. Thanks...
