That is some amazing metal work.

I like the intake rendering, but I would definitely try to go with dual DBW throttle bodies instead of cable.

Very good advice and point well taken. I just received the models yesterday and wanted to post them.

the hood before it was one piece. Two halves coming together as one.

[69Phoenix]

Three pieces are now almost one.

Love the reinterpretation of the hood.

Made a trip to Mahomet to see the guys at BBT fab and to check on the projects. Troy, Pete, Clay, and Paul are doing a great job on lots of customer cars and it was good to spend a few hours with them. The car is finally on the ground and things are looking great. Holding out on showing the wheels for a little while longer while we work on a few other areas of the car. Hope to post that for everyone soon.

What do you all think? Things going in the right direction?

Mock up grill is in place to allow fitment of headlight assemblies, buckets, etc, etc. This will have to hold us over until the machined grill inserts are in.

BBT Fabrications doing the thing they love most. Fabricating some fatness... a little goes a long ways.

[69Phoenix]

Stance is looking great and we still have plenty of clearance underneath.

[69Phoenix]

How's the butt end looking?

[69Phoenix]

Troy forcing aluminum to conform to his demands. What do you think he is building?

[69Phoenix]

This is a shot of one of the headlight buckets completed. The guys at BBT love working metal more than most. I enjoy seeing their level of craftsmanship as it comes together. I have a hard time believing you can take pieces of aluminum, weld them together, then pound the crap out of them and come out with something that looks like a machine made it. I guess it's why I don't hand build cars.

My god this car is going to be work of art when it’s done! I love it!

[69Phoenix]

Ready for the wheels to show their stuff. Here's a front corner and rear corner view. Not sure how we are going to finish them but here they are in their raw form. Evod Industries did an "amazing" job.

BBT Fabrications is responsible for all the amazing fabrication and assembly work on this car. They are hand building many pieces. Great group of young guys who are passionate about each car the produce and pay attention to the smallest of details. Couldn't be more pleased with the entire team.

Here's a shot of the bulged driver's fender. BBT spent much time working this over to give us some additional tire clearance. Thanks Guys!
