    factory lips/barrels but with custom 5x112 faces. they were originally made for and ordered by race driver bruce canepa. they even have his signature and what race they were used for inscribed into the barrels

    because of running the harnesses, and the fact a rat chewed through my driver side factory seat belt, im choosing to do so custom seat belt pillars to remove the seatbelt openings. I will post progress pics as I work on the project

    talking with a buddy last night we may be trying to make some vented fenders. I've seen them on a few cars but haven't been able to find any through searching that are still being made. possibly thinking of making them in carbon fiber and painting part of them but undecided

    100% agree. Personally I appreciate the work in making it "yours".. clearly you spent lots of time on it and there are some nice custom touches..

    Here is a picture of the starting point for my seatbelt deletes. Plan is to fill in the holes from the seal belts and then smooth everything out in order to cover them in black suede

    Yup - always that way. That is what makes these types of builds great.. can't buy the parts. One off - and that takes time and makes it yours!

    Nice build, even if it's not my style.

    Good job on the details.

    So the other day I picked up a stock cooper spoiler and added it to the car. It still needs to be cut and buffed but it doesn't look to bad

    I also started on the seatbelt deletes
