I never really liked a RED car before, but it was the best replacement shell I could find when I needed one. Your car has converted me into being excited about my future red paint job
There have been a few really nice looking 3e5's showing up on here lately.

Until someone takes the title from him, George's is the best I've ever seen in person. His 2jz engine bay helps out alot though. I know your's is going to be sexy as can be Ken, but I havent seen it in person.............yet.

Maybe soon I'll have something you can compare to George's, and have a chance to be seen. Maybe my body mods will help even out some of George's 2J bay. My bay won't be bad, but it's just a 7M (power a real man's way).

No, we're not postwhoring, Ken disrespected us by not starting his build early enough for us Bama boys to see it in Chicago. I guess he will have to travel to TX2K8.

I have been searching for new moldings for my side moldings. Meaning the 5/8 strips on the factory moldings I am going to replace, but it's not easy finding what I want. I'm looking for charcoal/gunmetal type color, but I'm considering this smoked chrome ( a darker chrome). Though I'd rather have a black chrome or something the color of my wheels.

I also spent the last couple days working on this cover I made as an example when I did the ignition mod, nobody ever came through on making the cover out of all the people that had access to machine shop stuff:cry:

This is when I cut it last spring

This is after sitting in my tool box at work for 6 months. "stainless steel" from Farm & Fleet. You can see I cut some vents in the side of it.

This is today after about half way done sanding and polishing!

7MB....not sure what you meant, but the hose for the catch can is getting redone when I swap cams over the winter. And hopefully I can make room for it in a more practical location.

John....I blow the cobwebs out of it a few times over the winter......when the streets are cleared up.

Getting pretty good at the color sanding, I had 2 dust nibs in this section between the 1/4 glass and the door. Can't tell where they were now though. The way it completely takes out the peel, I might want the whole car done....just don't have the patience now.....maybe next year:)
