One last unique view from below.

 

Engine finally back in. Working on some plumbing issues now. Coming along tho!

 

Almost there . I should take the 20 min drive down there and take a peak at your car.

 

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.

 

That engine bay...

 

You should have a get together when they dyno this beast. I for one would like to see that.

 

Too nice!!!

 

A bunch of locals to help him celebrate...

 

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!

 

Please take video's of your beast on the dyno.
Good luck with the last of the build. Looking forward to seeing the numbers you make.

 

gorgeous build!

 

Weistec exhaust system getting prepped for install. Coated heat shields and high cap trans pan.

 

those bottler are thicker than wine

 

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.

 

Am I the only one wanting UPDATES??!!!!

 

No, just everyone else is tired from waiting!
Just about done with some more fab, mainly for the nitrous setup. Wizards of NOS.
I'll b going to stop in a week and will have more pics n updates.
Coming out really awesome tho. Shop is making some unique pieces!

 

subbed....great build!!! looking forward to end result

 

Awesome stuff. Its coming along quite nicely.

 

Maaaan! This thread is sick!!! makes me itch to sell my house!! lol!
Out of curiosity, how much so far been spent on the car?

 

I was wondering the SAME thing...

 

Enuf to get it where it is. Shouldn't matter.

 

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.

 

Sub'd! Can't wait to see the finished look!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with the build!
