Very cool build. I really like the chopped windshield, great stance.

Just 2 words "HELL-YEAH" !! Great looking car. Kudos on the color scheme and remember "Drive it like you stole it"!! P.S. Love the intake scoop!!
Erik,
Great car! How about another shot of the center console? How did the engine turning and upholstery?

I think a full width would look awesome. I'm not a fan of the doubles on the roadster. The car is awesome.
That is one Bad Azz Hot Rod! Love the stance, the color, and the engine treatment. You hit this one out of the park! Great Job!

Wow..that is one sexy beast. Love the engine treatment and shorty windscreen. The car squats there like a hungry tiger, ready to leap down the road, feasting on 'vetts and vipers. Is that a real Kali blackplate?

Great job Erik. Now the under-construction class at HB will be smaller this year.

Hey dave, I did! Here's how I did it
I wasn't liking the center piece I had made for the dash so I made the decision to design a new console and try my hand at Engine Turning (Thanks to John Cameron for showing me how on Car Warriors)
First, get your sheetmetal all clean and mark your piece to be cut but don't cut it! Cut edges will ruin what ever your turning with. Leave the overlap for now so you're on flat metal all the time.
Mark your grid for proper spacing and overlap. I decided to use a drill press with some Red scuff pad wrapped around a bolt with a zip tie. I thought I'd just test it and liked it so I kept going. But Craytex is much better. I checked my pattern on some scrap and adjusted the spacing accordingly. Mine is not even close to being perfect but it also looks hand done as well! Now get ready to be pretty bored and in the same position for the next few hours!
Using some clamps and a ruler I created a gate so my lines were perfect each time. Man I have some ugly hands, no wonder I never got those call backs for those Palmolive commercials....
Turning Turning Turning. For about 4 hours! Kept having to change the scuff pad out since I started with a used one.

Here's the console in place. I used 1/8" MDF so it's light and easy.
Test fit.
Finished product covered in black vinyl. Man I need to stop using my iphone to take pics. It's just so damn convenient.
And thanks everyone for the great words! I'm truly flattered. And yes I have been driving it like I stole it but my sense of direction blows.....

Great job Erik, car looks fantastic.
It's never too early to start beefing up your obituary.
Very very nice. You have a great gift of "how to do it right"!
Erik, just watched the video. BTW thank's for posting this! Took me awhile to reply because of Huge grin past ears, drooling at corner of mouth, and constant eye twitch!! WOW!!!
Very cool Erik! Awesome job. Love the cut down windshield and the engine turning looks great.

Looks very bad ***. Nice work.
Erik, where did you run the autocross?
The center console engine turning looks great! I might have to try that myself again. I aborted my first try...

That was at the SoCal Cruise In at OC Fairgrounds back in the summer. This little course got me thinking seriously about electric power steering that's for sure. If you want to do some turning, come on over, we'll get it going and have a beer!
Very nice , that looks sinister.
Thanks

Put the top on and drove it around a bit. Then the temp went to 80 and it was beautiful so it came right back off. Been enjoying it so much driving it up and down PCH here in Orange County. It's just fantastic. My biggest recommendation to those building out there: consider chopping that windshield down a bit and getting the edge out of your site line; having a clear line of vision and the wind in your hair is heaven.
That sure gives you something to work towards!!! Supper!!!
Good stuff!

Totally crazy i watched this video on youtube today before i even joined up lol. Awesome car!
I LOVE this car, what an awesome job. I love the color and the exhaust tips. So jealous.
Thanks man. I just got it tuned up at OC Cars and she's running amazing. So much more power since they re-jetted and changed the power valve in the carb, swapped the plugs and wires, and dialed in the timing curve with springs and weights. Just love driving it. Next I'm going to put a ragtop in the hard top.
Erik,
Great job ... car looks and sounds fantastic!

I wish I could put those air intakes on a coyote engine, love the look of them!!
I love this photo stuff. I went down to Cars and Coffee early this morning and it was as clear as I've seen it in a long time (Santa Ana winds...it's almost 90 here today). So I hit the rooftop next door to the show and got a few pics. Let me know which one I should submit for POM. A certain wookie has already seen a couple of these and said I should!
