Yep, the stance is perfect.
The other stuff is the nature of customizing, but in the end its worth it.
Most of the time anyway.

Bugger! You've certainly ticked the stance box mate, perfect. The rest of it however is a page straight from the story of my life without it looking so good before tearing it back down!!!!

Thanks guys,, we all have these issues i think, but, that is just modeling  Today, i started putting the engine back together and fabricated the headers, and changed up the color on the engine too.   |

I have spent more time on trying to get this set-up right, it has kicked my butt for a few weeks now, but tonight i made my 3RD set of headers, and coupled them up to the turbo's.... finally, with a 3D printed coupler made by my mate at work, now i can get on with the rest of this build.   |

Friggin' totally wicked!!! Insane amounts of work going into this Dale. Thanks Joe, went next level today, i had to make a radiator for it, as the original was too wide to slot in between the turbos, so i removed the core, and switched it from side tanks to top/bottom tanks.  Painted it Aluminium, and the i made a custom BILLET screw in radiator cap on my lathe...   Then got excited, and tried to make a couple of Blow Off Valves for the turbos, i just wonder how many i will need to make before i get a matching pair.   |

Tonight i started the interior, it wasn't until i looked at the clock, that i realized it took 2 hours just to do 1 seat.. And i painted the turbo's and made a mount for it, to channel the air into the radiator.   |

You've done some pretty sick builds in the past Dale,but this is the sickest. !!!!! Thanks mate Ihave been working on the interior lately, laying down thread on all the seats, was very time consuming, but worth it. ( 7-8 hours).. Also fitted a custom console, and made some mats aswell.    |

That looks like you spent the time on it that you did Dale. The thread added such a good touch to it that really set it all off.

Been a while since i have done too much that is worth photographing, mainly body prep, BUT, today i got the paint down, Ginger Ale with some Aurora Gold stripes. The paint has been bugging me for a long time, almost changed color 3-4 times, but had to force myself to stick to the initial plan... go with my gut feeling.... AND I'M HAPPY, will get a few cotes of clear on it tomorrow i hope.     |
