I did the rack years ago.... That is an ordeal in itself meaking sure you get the right pump as well.

I'm going to stop by the shop this weekend I think to take a couple picks of the in progress stuff.

Just a couple update pics.

I stopped by and we finalized the paint and trim color.

It's still looking like another couple weeks before I get it back. If I can I'll stop by next weekend and check in again.

Still a shagy car in primer and missing body parts. Look good enough to go joyriding in

It will be, yes. It won't be under it for CJ05 though.

Well I stopped to check on progress. He got pulled away on a couple other things, so he might be a couple days behind getting mine done, but no biggie. He was getting the NACA ducts fitted and wanted me to verify that they were where I wanted them...Glad they weren't any bigger...

He said he should be ready to start spraying midweek...

thats frickin' cool

originally i was going to go with a rise cowl hood on my car with a turbo coupe hood scoop mounted in the passengerside front fender for a cold air intake. still might do it but for now the idea has been kicked to the curb. i still think it would be cool though...

OK, stopped back by today. The weather is for here this weekend, so it was hard to get any good shots in the shop. He's got the trunk and hood "jammed" and is doing the doors today. He said he'll be ready to spray Mon/Tues...I'm just shocked to see it all smooth and one color...antition is mounting

Here's a couple shots . A better shot of the NACA duct install too.

Looks good, except I don't really like the little lip around the scoop.

Yeah, he couldn't quite get it all the way flush, but the lip will be finished nicely though...and it will be body color anyway.

Well, I just picked it up today....all I can say is WOW :D

It wasn't w/o incident..but I'll get to that.

Here's a couple pics before we loaded it.

Now..here's a couple more. Notice that the bumper cover is off in the first pic.
Somehow, even when we had no issues loading/unloading it the first time....we weren't so lucky the second...We completely thrashed the bumper cover loading it. I'll be taking my spare back out for him to do...so I managed to scratch it before I even got it home...so it should be good for 4-5 years now :p
