I hate the "gold" wheels I got from the factory, it is an awful yellow-green hue that I can't stand . So I decided to plasti dip them with a pure gold alloy which is a dip pearl type . It is very time-consuming because you need 5 base coats of black and then about 5 coats of gold. But the end...

I finally installed the morimoto sealed3 90mm headlights , they are not really fog lights , they have high and low beams . They are impressive. I was nervous beacuse the jaguar headlights are pointing a lot lower on the SLC , so I needed a backup plan. and since I am not using brake ducts , I...

After the sanding and buffing was done I was not going to drive the car without some ppf on the front . I did not do a perfect job, but the point is to protect the paint from road rash. mission accomplished

I forgot , that I had to reinforce a few areas on the rear clam. . The painter left the rear clam outside on a wind storm and a portion of the rear clam cracked badly . Also when I cut off the opening for the air inlets it lost quite a bit of rigidity, so I added some aluminum reinforcement .

Absolutely, it wil be awesome to see 2 SLCs driving together, We had 2 SLCs when Cam was here visiting, but my car was not running then. weather is looking good for next weekend . I have not work with suede specifically , but I am sure it is not much different than leather.

sorry to hear, but probably nobody else will have that information, my suggestion is keep trying .

I did find a couple l of pictures of the stars on the roof :-) Also there is a bracket for the radar detector (valentine one) , I have a remote display on the dashboard and a dome light

Happy to help any time . leather is like anything else, a bit of a learning curve and then you just have to take your time . Yes once you hone your spraying skills I will be ready for a re paint LOL .

WOW!! super impressive work

Well, I am all the way around , mechanically great , but the paint job a bit challenged , LOL , Totally agree Cliff, in my humble opinion that's why guys that buy built SLCs don't drive them very much , and sell them with very few miles, crazy . Because if any little thing goes wrong, they are...

Absolutely stunning build . Thank you for sharing . the sound is amazing BTW. Love the black color as well :), except mine has gold accents instead of red, love both versions .

Well , while I was at it , why not do the Bentley thing and add a few stars to the roof . LOL . Call me crazy but those fiber optic lights are super cool , and cheap, I can change colors and patterns with the app on my phone, I absolutely love it , it was my nephew's idea . You have to see it...

While I was waiting for the paint job, there were a few smaller projects that needed to be done , one of them , wrapping the roof in black and tan leather , as well as the A pilars . Not a bad result for a beginner . navigating steep curves with a single piece is very very challenging . But got...

Well , just when you think you are almost done with this project, a butt load of things show up at the end, I have not posted an update for a while, so here it is . Yes, decided on a cheap paint job, and let me tell you, I got A SUPER CHEAP paint job, the good news I learned a lot about paint...

I absolutely love my SLC now that it is finished , but it took me more than 5 years and more than 3000 hours to have the finished product that I wanted . I spent a lot of time and money on the interior and time consuming mods , such as headlights and tail lights . The biggest disappointment for...

Probably The only person that would have such data is Fran at the factory . Have you tried contacting him about that information?

Kurt: very sorry to hear about your stroke and super happy to hear about your recovery . Glad you are going strong again. Having serious health issues suck, but you come out stronger at the other side. Believe me , I know all too well . Always wish you the best . Also glad your wife allowed you...

Nice engine, but It is a porker at 540lbs dry weight and it costs $30k. I paid $7500 for my 6.2 LS3 525 crate engine (around 500 lbs with all the accessories?. 465 lbs without them, I think I like my choice better LOL

Could not have said it better AJ. I found the drive intoxicating beyond anything I have ever owned, (911 turbo, lotus Elise, Nissan GTR) . I am finishing the assembly after painting and can't wait to drive it again. Like you said , even driving it at 2 tenths is more fun than any car I have ever...

look at my build thread. Restarting my SLC project in West Texas, post #449 and 450, page 23, has the details of what I did . Hope it helps
