    I look forward to following along with your videos. My coupe completion date is April 28th, but it looks like you'll be moving at light speed compared to me

    Great timing! I am now planning my coupe build for late this year. I too will fit 335s to the rear of the car. I saw in your video that you are going with 275s up front. I have not seen anyone go wider up front and you did not, so it appears that 275s are the limit of what fits or can be made to fit. I see a Coyote sitting there or possibly a Voodoo or 5.2L XS. To say the least, I am subscribed to your thread.

    What product did you use for the gold in the engine bay? Very nice job on your build so far, its impressive to see how fast these can be built. Mine will take much much longer haha.

    Looks awesome Erik! That touch of gold just really sets it off as radical! And I’m still amazed at your speed on building these beautiful machines. So, keep making the vids they’re very enjoyable to watch. I think you better start a merch store!
