Merlot - Dark and Aging

Just out of the shop with new House of Kolor Custom paint "Merlot" - Ready for final buffing: Yes it will be going about 1 1/2" lower - TPE front and rear flares; sleepy eyes in last photo; Interior will be completed in about 6 weeks; Can't wait to get "The Twin Turbo Nitrous Breathing Beast" on the road.

Robert, I hear your build came out real nice. Hopefully, I will be able to sell all the parts that Joe has so we will be able to start mine ASAP.

Seeing the car was only going to be in St. Petersburg for storage it's amazing what has taken place. I am going to put it in my will that it can't be sold only passed down to my son and/or grandson.

At this point only two or three mods are left.

1. The RHS Race Block Build (Joe gets to build his dream)

2. Paddle/Bump shifter

3. Possible Targa conversion

It's got to end soon or I won't ever be able to retire!

I'd love to see it in person. I bet it is sweet.

I guess I never paid attention to STS setups before.... You have to remove your bumper to clean the air filters???

It's being worked on in St. Petersburg. St. Pete Auto Aids - 727-573-5760

If you ever need work done on you car I highly recommend Joe Ferraro the owner. Top Notch and excellent prices.
