i did not want to be at a fabricator's mercy to have a custom set up made, I would expect someone to get at least $1500 to do a custom IC set up that I would like.
I was thinking a V-mount set up because I like that look as well, but this is what I have now and it works so thats what will stay.

finally feel like I might be getting somewhere.
My wolf wiring adaptor came in for my V500, so have to do some light re-wire so I can run the newer wolf with its built in boost controller, also install the MSD.
I finally got to spray my cowl trim that goes at the base of the windshield, I did that in satin finish so it looks original, and I am clearcoating/smoking my front turn signals and tailights and center section now.
Just have to trim the bumper a little more and take this thing for a drive to get tuned, hopefully in the next few weeks.

dont be jealous, just let the car sit and look at it for a few months changing things you dont like on it.
Trust me im at the point of not taking anything else apart until I get this car back on the road and drive it again

im actually turning work away! Do you see the time line on this project? Not exactly blazing along, spraying tailights on memorial day weekend at 5:00 saturday afternoon. I started painting parts on Feb 16th and here I am still not finished, lol.
My wife is going to be out of town this weekend, Im hoping to have the car done this weekend with some late nights and just have to do the Wolf computer upgrade next week.
