Did you put new boots on your axles or were those original?

***Herblenny*** · 10-24-2012, 04:55 AM

I'm currently putting the car together for SEMA and I can't upload what's being going on..

I'll make this short and share 2-3 pics.. including the render done by amazing artist and designer, Greg Thompson. He did an amazing job rendering the car with few pics I sent him and list of goodies I was going to put on. Just amazing!

Hint of couple of parts..

I'll update the full car on my way to SEMA..

I envy you so much having the all around ability to do these projects and have these cars. I want to in the future be on your level or rotary collection.

Update - November 8th, 2012

Its been about 2 weeks since my last update... Since than, I've put the car together (not running) in 8 days, went to SEMA Las Vegas, and came back to Birmingham, AL.

I'll try to go through the journey over next 2-3 days.. And I promise you guys, there will be ton of pics

To start, I was waiting for my paint and body guys Jonathan Goolsby and his crew to paint the body so I could start working on the car.

Paint we've chosen was BASF Mercedes AMG Imola Grey Metallic with hint of darker tint.

Here is a picture of the car before and after the shell was painted.

Car at this point had nothing on it except stock suspensions and some old school VOLK wheels to roll the shell around.

More coming when I get some more photos uploaded..

Hey I saw you and your car at sema I was talking to you about my fc.

Fendamonky · 11-08-2012, 08:20 PM

Oh that paint is SEXY!!!!! I like!

***Herblenny*** · 11-09-2012, 03:21 PM

Update - Nov. 9th, 2012

Update continues..

When i first saw the car after paint, I decided to clean up the wheel wells and put a nice new coat of undercarriage paint.

But til then, I also decided to drop the rear subframe and do it right

I then taped up the wheel arch and went to town with the paint.

Front after paint..

Rear painted and with new subframe and new diff on.

Fendamonky · 11-09-2012, 06:02 PM

I'm confused, did you purchase a new rear subframe, or just freshen yours up?

RCCAZ 1 · 11-12-2012, 11:02 AM

Hey Phil,

Now that SEMA is over and the cat is out of the bag, can you post up some detailed pics of the final project? Would love to see copious amounts of detail. Can you show us yet or is there a pending magazine article keeping you from showing the final product? Sorry I missed you on your overnight here in Phoenix.

Thx!

I had a spare front and rear subframe that I refreshened up and installed. I might do something new to this one once I get it all cleaned up and such..
