I'm not doing gold, lol. I do want something that kinda goes with green in case I wanted to carry that color on to the wheels or brakes or something. But not gold lol, I'm not Master P, uhhhhhh.

Bronze seemed like a nice choice. But the satin aluminum also is really growing on me

[tehehodi]

LOL Master P! Mr. ice cream maaaaaaaaaaaaaan.


Bronze fo sho, your color car is probably one of the only few that can pull it off correctly.

Green and gold/bronze are complimentary. Dark grey would be more low key like you enjoy so maybe go with that aluminum. All would be nice!

[Halon]

The thing I like about the satin aluminum is it is still clean, but provides good contrast against all the other dark stuff. Bronze or gunmetal will still be kind of dark, so not as much contrast.

This is why I'm not an interior decorator, I suck at color stuff haha. Or maybe I just go black and bright purple?!?!?!?

Shifter linkage prototype 3D printed. 99% there. Couple tweaks mm here mm there, and I think it'll be perfect!

Very cool! 2nd product..Business in the making!

Progress is veery slow. But couple updates.

- Got my new clutch. It's a South Bend Stage 3, 2700lb pressure plate, sprung 6-puck disc. Rated at 715tq. SHould do nicely. If I run into issues, with it not holding, I can upgrade to their Extreme pressure plate in the future (3000-3200lb).

- Got my new intake manifold. The build quality is OK. But what I love about it is the plenum size is much more street oriented, and the plenum size being smaller you can easily see how much easier it fits than the old massive one. I only held it up to test fit, but he told me I should actually be able to go back to my stock power steering reservoir, which would be really nice!

- Got some more stuff rounded up into my powder coating stash. Hopefully get it to a coating place next week!

Well shit is moving super slow with the kids taking up just about all of my time. So I just decided to slowly start doing what I can here and there with the idea that this year is pretty much a bust, so might as well start tackling all the little things so it's hopefully as ready as can be for next year.

So with that being said... Out with the old. Still have a bit of unsoldering / resoldering to get the harness back to stock. Then going to slowly start working on installing the new PnP Infinity.
