Couple of updates.
A pillars and upper windshield trim are done. Custom pod, covered in Alcantara. Love the look but it opened a huge door for future interior work.......by design.
And.......I have two TI 450's sitting here waiting on a new billet hat/hanger to show up. Should be mostly plug and play after that for install and the rest of the fuel system.

how much did it cost to have the pillar covered?... looks great btw... I have a ddmods dual pillar and the quality wasn't all that great, I was going to sand it down and paint it but covering it could be an option I just want it to match the oem passenger pillar

For what I got, it felt like too much. I paid nearly as much as Apsis offered to do it for without getting the quality I know Apsis would have given me. Ended up spending $425 for the three pieces (though granted, the Alcantara used is $125 a yard).

This showed up today. I already had the pumps waiting. Will probably reuse the racetronix dual pump hotwire kit that went on the car as part of the lonnie's double pumper setup instead of ripping everything out to put essentially the same thing back in.

Did the last little thing that really needed doing yesterday.
I just have to throw out there that I can't get over how good this car is in terms of just being a car. It fires right up every time, idles nice and smooth, drive it anywhere any time, has working (VERY WELL working) air conditioning, no comforts given up, and lets me smile still when I throw the hammer down. There's a reason I bought this car back rather than start from scratch with another one a few year ago, this one is just simply all around a perfect modified car IMO.
And yes, I'm slowly piecing together the fuel system.
