Thanks guys, it's coming together slowly, but there's so much to do! Getting there soon enough, I need to get it ready for Sema then HIN in Miami. Went from a paint job and a motorswap, to full blown makeover. Decided to pull the carpet and put in dynomat.......more time. I hope it will all be worth it in the end!

I would also feel like a mircale worker if we can get it done. We were real busy and so the progress of the car was slowed down. But if 'Pimp My Ride' and 'Over haul' are able to do it, I have confidence with us! I have one painter and one mechanic that will be dedicated on the car for the next 3 weeks, a lot of polishing, a lot of everything! We have our fingers crossed!

Don't mind the car being a little heavier due to the dynomat. I honestly want the overall effect of the true VIP car. Luxuary with speed in one!

DRVN but with speed comes lack of quality just make sure that your not sacrificing the quality of your build to rush for completion or you will regret it later !!

Know exactly what you mean. I would love for anything to make it to SEMA, but I am not 100% counting on it. Started this project a little later, believe me, it will done right. Otherwise I wouldn't be adding other tasks to the build right now.
