Some pics I took at lunch...(9/30/8)
Stopped by the shop at lunch and the car was in final test fitting...the last set of pics didn't show the new piece for the trunk lid...more pics on Saturday.

The underside of the trunk deck which will house a Sony Digital picture frame...it will automatically start showing pictures of the whole build...

4 wheeled car.
One thing though...redo the rear triangle windows. It's so ugly w/ the tint not going all the way through. You can get the film behind the rubber part where the tint has to cut and curve in the corner. Then you're able to slip the film past it.

Jon,
Your car is coming along nicely. What could be next?
Golf bag that matches the leather work in the trunk?

Let me know of any GTG / photo shoot to celebrate the completion.

Bob...bigger IC, more efficient and larger SC, TCU mod, etc...but all that is being developed by various tuner(s) and I'm waiting to see what sticks...I'm still going to work on a wider rear fender setup (maybe 1" to 1.5" setup to fit 305's in the rear).

I've already got the golf bag covered...! I actually had it before all the modifications and the installer was using it for fitment purposes in the trunk.

I'm looking at the first or second Saturday in November to have a smallish gtg at Bradenton Motorsports drag strip.

Man. I just finished going through all four pages of this thread. I love the passion and the fearlessness. Way to AMGfan! Maybe now I'll have the guts to tint my windows. Hey, at least I finally did the ECU reset this week! Seriously though, fabulous all the way.
