Had a walk through the FMU shop earlier in the week and peeped out your build. Very impressive. I love the red and bronze color scheme too. Classy

When it's complete you should have a christening like a new ship being placed in to service.

Thx for all the good words! It's been a long process and finally seeing the light. Its been really neat watching the progress as it comes together and working through all the particulars on a full custom build. It's been costly but I think worth it. Lot of people spend a lot more on a lot less. I've always wanted to do something to make it special and I def think this is that and more. All these accessories will bring out the car's full potential and I think it was a fantastic platform to use for that.
Whenever it's done I'll be driving up to pick it up at the shop and can't wait for the drive back home! I'll keep updates as things progress and will give a heads up when that wknd arrives. The dyno runs will b before the final pickup but I will prob go up myself to not miss that. In the end it should b one of the fastest if not the fastest C63 out there. I'm hoping to put it on the 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and mile runs around this year and see what it can do.

I just won't hit the champagne bottle against the fender. I've seen videos of holes in boats from that!

Coated heat shields

Red

Looks stellar, it's been a long journey but we're all eager to see it finished.

What coating did you apply to the heat shields?

It's a 2 step process with ceramic silver powder coating covered by a reflective gold coating to match the thermal gold reflective foil covering the engine bay walls.

Its coming along!! Lots of lines, switches and wiring need to be run. KC ice box. Then CF Gruppe M intake will be installed. NOS purge through the CF hood vents. Remaining exhaust system needs to be bolted together with the cutout. Front and rear lights. Cage to be put in. And finally the widebody.








Oil cooler in front, trans cooler behind. Took 11.5 qts of oil.
