Thanks guys, been busy, got the interior painted, we stripped the WHOLE interior less the firewall pad. Man does it feel nice to look in on a perfectly clean white and clearcoated interior - just makes the whole project feel so much better. It was a lot of work but definitely worth it. I'll get some pics of that up soon.

I'm wanting the interior to be really quiet, solid and comfortable so we've got some cool sound deadening ideas you'll see soon, studying he sound competition guys techniques and the gutted interiors of Lexus, BMW and Mercedes for ideas.

God, I wish I had that kind of garage / work space

[Fred Allen Burge]

Believe me I appreciate the garage, I built that sucker from dirt on up with the help from friends, took a couple years and was so worth it.

Here's some details on the garage project:

Small update, got the front fender wells undercoated finally. This was a sweet little project! I had a really nice afternoon last week and took a couple hours to really do this stage of the build nicely. I took about half an our or so to tape off each wheel well really cleanly and to make sure no over spray got on my newly painted engine bay. I used 2 cans of 3M rubberized undercoating per side which is about the right amount to do the job right, I got it off Amazon for about $10 per can.

Finally, paint day!

Super pumped about how my first paint job turned out, a bunch of wet sanding on the clear and it's gonna be about 99% perfect!

(P.S. If anyone has an OEM aero front bumper or sides I'm in the market.)
