wow beautiful plans and work!

Thanks!! And just wait until you see the paint job when it's done! It's hard to describe in words so I'll put up pics when it's done, ( so either fri or sat night!!)

You are obviously doing a custom job. I hope it comes out nice... wink.gif But please a custom paint job needs some nice rims. I bought mine for $1000 but sold my $17s for $250. Look around on craigslist. You should be able to find some cheap. As a matter of fact, I know someone with some Konig's with tires that will sell them for $600.

I found a couple for you in your area. Here and here.

These will work even better and you can go crazy with them and paint them gunmetal grey or something.

Where do you work? Get me a job there! My build isn't coming along anywhere near fast enough frown.gif

Keep up the good work! Your car is coming together really fast. Can't wait to see the pictures after it's done.

Everything looks good Wont even look like the same car when your done. Hey your friends dad he has a shop Can you direct me in his direction I been wanting to get a paint job. If you can give me his company name I would not mind getting a price. Maybe I can check yours out to see What kinda work he does.
Are you keeping the same rims?

Silver is my favorite color on a 6th gen.. I'd just spray some clear coat on it and call it done! But I can't wait to see what the rest of it is going to look like.

The first time I saw the title, it actually took me a few moments to realize that you meant 'thread' when you typed threat.

It looks good, definitely unique. Should be interesting to see how the whole thing ties together.
