Car is getting painted golden Mettallic bronze ...color from new superduty

Paint aint going to make it go faster. Looking good.

doesnt make it go faster true....but my older brother paints which is biggest reason and secondly the car is ugly as hell in 2 tone , looks like a damn taxi or somthing lol

I kind of liked it but, we can't have much nice paint out here because of the road.

Icon pistons came in ....not sure how to rotate picture . Did this from a cell

With all the changes I think it just got a few tenths faster. Looks good.

Is that a tiny dog or a giant piston? He looks comfortable curled up around it though.

well the picture throws it off , my dog joe ...being a greyhound he is big but cant go by that pic


this picture reminds me of when guys go fishing for large mouth bass and they take picture of a 12 inch fish in front of them so the picture looks like a 2 ft long fish lol


pistons look nice ....wasnt sure but the quality i can see of the icon pistons are pretty nice

LOL, looks like he likes his toys too.
The pictures of your car on the bumper looks pretty cool.

new hood took me a couple months to get ....i think only has been 3 made so far , only guy that has mold for sunoco style hood for a fairmont

Who did you get that from? I like it. I think I saw a guy on Facebook with one.

a guy named Terry Malone from sc , he also has bumpers i think as well

i have his number if you would like , i used fastenal for shipping . There is a guy that has a dark blue futura that races in x275 that has one "The fearmont" i think his car is called

That's the guy I was thinking of. He makes doors as well. How's the fit. Someone said the hood was a bit short on the back but would get fixed next time he made more. I'm getting one for my Futura.

i put the doors on yesterday and doing the fenders this week , and fitting with dzus fasteners .

by the looks its hsould fit good ...i think by the windshield it may need to be trimmed a little . (maybe he made them a bit longer there for fitment )

Post some pics once you get the doors and fenders hung.

The X275 car sounds like Jim Plimpton from Wisconsin maybe?
