LOL, don't think I have posted new pics in a while because everything is getting ready for paint, powdercoat, etc so I should have some good ones by end of this week probably.

Ask and ye shall receive

Custom dash covered in graphite-color "Rave" material:





Powdercoated panels and rearend parts:



Starting to put it back together!!!!!!









Mufflers had to be welded to make them shorter - they are not done yet but the pipes will come out and "merge" together to form a single, oval outlet right under the differential:





Panels riveted in place, the 2 on either end will be removeable so that I can access my batteries:






Aeromotive A1000 Fuel pump:



Fuel cell "scalloped" at the rear so that I can actually reach all my rear lights now:



Fuel rail modified to accept standard AN fitting, will have -10 going in and -6 coming out:




And my favorites . . . . . . car is going to sit NICE:

You are definitely setting the bar high for the rest of the C4 crew. I'm actually in the planning stages of a lot of mods....but nothing even remotely near the level of what what you're doing. I can't wait to see the finished product. Props for stepping up and taking a C4 to the next level.

Well Pinks All Out is not the version where you risk your pink slip. It is the version where you are given the chance to win $1,000, IIRC, in each of multiple rounds (you can bet the other driver too with the money you win). Nobody loses their car (and sometimes you can also win a couple grand worth of tools or other prizes).

, it'd be cool to see a C4 take the cake and see all this hard work come to fruition on NATIONAL television!

Awesome thread and build - I've been reading it since the beginning as a lot of people have. It seriously looks awesome!

Keep us updated on the start-up,

Jonathan

I think you have passed the national debt on that build .
I think I would have gone with the black Aeromotive pump ,I have the red one and I mixed C-17 and what was suposed to be E-10 turned out to be E-22 1/2 and it ate my seals in the pump.Aeromotive rebuilt it for free because I was a DA and did not read the directions,and said I need to get the black pump it will run gas or E-85 ,it's only about $175.00 more .
Nice build ,what engine are you going to run?
