Spent the last few days working on the fuel system plumbing and Aeromotive Phantom 340 Stealth fuel pump module installation. Feels great to be back on the project!

Thank you!

Finished up the fuel system and I'm really happy with the outcome. Cunifer hard lines look amazing and everything is very tidy and almost invisible. Moving on to finish up the Lokar e-brake system next!

Finished up the installation of the Lokar e-brake system tonight. Super-clean and well made, but don't think we'll be relying on it for much! 8^)

Very clean install. How do you intend to "seal up" the hole to prevent water, dirt and vapors from sneaking up through the slot?

Thanks Terry!

I am working on a bristle/rubber seal that will be installed from the top to seal closely around the "blade" of the handle assembly to keep the weather and debris out. Another advantage of the Lokar setup is the slim handle profile that passes through the floor.

Happy New Year to all!

First blog entry of 2018 after a LONG break in the action. Just posted up a new update on construction of a sectioned and tucked composite rear bumper for the Boss project!

Great looking wheel and that bumper is a beautiful piece. Let me know when your taking orders.

Let me know when your taking orders.

+1 on that!

Wow, that looks awesome.

I wish I could find a rear bumper that fit half as nice as that for mine.

Thank you! I will be looking for a few testing volunteers when we get the mold complete and start rolling off a few parts! Stay tuned!
