At SEMA update...

Sorry for the lack of update.. I'm going to share my experience at SEMA.

Well, as you guys have read, I have put the car together in 6 out of 8 days after chasis was painted. Due to lack of time, car is a roller... which made it very difficult at SEMA.

First, we couldn't unload the car until we were placed at a certain location to unload. We waited over 2 hours between central and south hall, waiting someone for us to goto a specific location to unload.

Finally after 2 hours, we were moved to front of central to unload the car.

From here, they couldn't figure out where I was suppose to park. We now waited another 2 hours til someone figured out where I needed to park.. which was front of North Hall.. a good 1/4 mile away from where we drop the car off, through the central hall, to North hall.

Waiting to be moved.. again..

While waiting, Enjuku Racing posted this photo on their facebook page... First photo to be leaked with all the panels on..

And finally made it to my spot... and before decals got on.

Looks good Phil. Incredible job getting this thing completed in time for SEMA. Have you adjusted the rear stance lower since these pics were taken?

Is that the grey honda I heard so much about?

We didn't have time to really finish the interior pieces.. So, when I got back from SEMA, I pulled them out and sent them to Goolsby Customs to get it refinished.. They were ready today and picked them up!

Defi Cluster gauge surround that I made.. Man! Love the finish!!

Prosport center speaker pod..

Center console that I made.. again.. Goolsby customs did a great job with the paint.

Some of the other interior parts..

Good Lord that looks splendid!!!!

I'm in the process of refinishing my plastics with plasti dip.. hot every thing but 1/3 of the gauge hood sanded down, need to fix it first then finish sanding prep then paint...

I really enjoy how simple it all is with the buttons and such removed.. makes it look elegant/classy.... which in my mind matches the rest of the build so far...

Simple and Clean

Good work Phil...

you always seem to be raising the standard when you get the chance...
