Kevin Patten Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Are you going with a light machine gray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Some kinda light gray yes. Up to the painter guy. Got the car stripped back down to the tub yesterday. Just made a deal on new shocks / springs. Guy over on SVTperf selling some Penske's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 7500s or 8300s either are great, some go with Ohlins TTX36ILs (mostly on the GTS and PWC folks) but, if you can get a set of the Penskes for a deal - GO 4 IT ! Watching for more pics! (excited for you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsirisGT500 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just got word. Monday for paint. Seems that is just the way this is going. He's asking if I want to go watts link now too... He's suggesting Cortex. Off to look at options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Cortex is what I have on mine because it's listed in the rules. I just recently got Filip @ Cortex to sell me the new generation frame brackets so now it's the same as what is being used on the PWC Boss Mustangs. I still prefer the Fays2 watts set up because the pivot and brace is mounted to the body not the differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Ya I dunno how I feel about it on the diff too. Paid for watts and G Stream wing and a chin spoiler. I think it's an agent 47 chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Paint started today. The guy got about half way. He said he thought it wasn't as much to paint as it is. I dunno where the disconnect was. yay. So supposedly finish tomorrow at twice the price. aannnndddd talking with the shop it seems like they don't care if it's done by the next AI race at willow end of the month and probably gonna make me miss a second shelby bash... so I got that going for me.

Kevin Patten Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Looks like a top notch job. It always costs more than what they initially tell ya ! Filip @ Cortex is telling me next week for my shocks now but, I'm taking the car to the Bash this year regardless ( I've missed it the last two years ) and going for a spin at Spring Mountain. The Bash is on the same weekend as the season opener for me in the SFR SCCA but I'm going to Vegas anyways. Hope that they stay on it and finish it up soon !

OsirisGT500 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Oh ya, more of the usual. I was told the guy fabbing the watts mounting was gonna finish today but he just looked at it for the first time. He says he might be able to finish by end of week. BUT, they will be gone for willow for the second AI race by Thurs night. So nothing will be done until Mon I'm guessing. Then he says he wants to wire before I can start bolting stuff on. It will never be done, I'm gonna set the building on fire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb64 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 That is an extreme build for sure. Curious about the steering support bracket though, almost looks like it is upside down with the collar angle. Is that just a point for adjusting steering height/angle? Also, is that some type of epoxy paint or primer they used on the metal work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just for height adjustment. Angle is fixed. Just car paint. They wanted white but I thought that would be too bright so I say grey. The painter came up with this color mix. I had asked for an off the shelf color but that's just how this build goes.

OsirisGT500 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I put in for next week off of work. Time to just do it myself. I haven't been able to make it up do to work lately. I'm guessing I'll be able to throw 50 hours at it. I really doubt he has touched it since last I was there. I'm gonna go up tomorrow to check on things.
