Cool!
Looking forward to following along! It’ll keep me motivated to keep slogging along with my 818
That’s awesome Erik! Is this a customer build? I’m looking forward to following along!
FFR 5369 Pin Drive, IRS, Trigos, Torsen, Wilwoods, FMS BOSS 302 "B" cam , Mass-flo. CA SB100 (SPCN) Registered
Delivered 4/23/06. "Finished" 4/2012 (still not done!)
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.
Good day today - made a lot of progress today - the stack of boxes got way smaller!

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!

Wow! You are moving right along.
It sounds great!
Erik, I don't know how you do it, you are a machine!
Erik, it amazes me how fast you can get a build done! I imagine you’re pretty used to it by now, but still - Wow!

N-N-Nice Work!
Guys like you, Henry R and Jeff K have amazing talent.
Liked and subscribed but can't comment on the video in YouTube. Obviously we can comment here but for anyone not on the forum, they can't. I also saw some goalie equipment in the background of one of your videos, when do you find time for that?!

Could you show how many holes you drilled for the wiring pass through from interior to engine side of firewall panel? I'm hoping all my wiring will fit through 4 holes. Thanks!
I put 3 holes in the tranny tunnel closest to the fire wall and put one small hole above the passenger foot box (this is the only hole I put directly into the fire wall - if you look in the week 4 video towards the end there is a quick shot of the pass-through.

Well no videos on it yet but here is a sneak peak - been a minute while my painter has done his thing... not bad for 90 days... he hasn't been working on it steady - but once it's back in my hands should wrap up nicely. Still have to cut an buff yet.
