RE: the car is starting to get there
for now it's just going to be parked next to the hummer in the streetglow booth at whatever shows SG goes to in the area. Once it's done then it may get national exposure. But I am far off on that. I need to get money or sponcorship to get a Carbon fiber hood, and a carbon fiber trunk lid. The system will be done this summer by me..I just have to finish fiberglassing the trunk or I may build a fake floor to hold my amps and carpet everything so that I can still use the trunk to hold some stuff. If i glass it then the car is just for show and my wife may kill me. The interior will come after the system is done. But it's going to have over 100 LED's and close to 30 neons in it when I'm done. I need to find a shop to do custom leather seats and maybe do something to the headliner. If I can get all this done it may go to SEMA.

if you wind up doing custom seats, let me know. i can carve a medallion or something for the seat maker to sew into the seats - then it will be one of a kind regardless how many other cars they do. when i rebuilt my Karmann Ghia i redid the seats in blue leather, with black back and sides. the dash was a solid piece of leather from the windshield to the knee board, or whatever the hell it's called. it wasn't treated like typical car leather and had a tendency to fade if not kept oiled constantly - so i sold the car before it faded too bad - someone elses problem now.
