Re: Car shows 2016
Nicely done. That should get a trophy!
Are those Toyo Proxies tires? I have as set on my other car. Hate them. way too noisy.

Re: Car shows 2016
that's because the fiberglass and carbon fiber hoods don't have cutouts for the washer nozzles.

By the way I'm glad you decided to do body color on the carbon fiber hood.

Re: Car shows 2016
The washers nozzle is from a Buick ( GM ) I was told. And yes , not a good idea to drill a hole in the hood. Did not have a black zip tie , but I will replace it if it bothers you.
YES Toyo PROXIE tires. 18 ". Had a hard time finding tires. Won a trophy before paint and interior was done last week. YES THRILLED. Only thing is I am afraid to drive it. Was more fun when it was a mess. Started when I put new header pipes on it . Then interior then the paint. Did not have a lot of choice on the paint . The wrap was way more expensive. I was still going for it then the body shop showed me how bad the hood was . Lines were not straight , ripples , the scoop was crooked ,and cracking. Every imperfection shows through with a wrap . Then the wrap people told me to get it painted. Even rattle can it. Let it set for a few weeks. If they put wrap on and have to reposition it it may pull the new paint off etc..

Re: Car shows 2016
Your car is beautiful. The color is vibrant and really does the body shape justice. Great job.

Re: Car shows 2016
Thank u .. I wanted both the dependability by eliminating all the weak points of this beautiful car... Better brakes, better cooling, better drivetrain, and after I got the performance improved I wanted the beauty of its lines and the softer lighter interior color. IMHO if SVX was built this way ,26 years ago , it would have been a much better seller and may have even lasted more years. And been a contender in the Mustang, Celica, Z, and others. Ring...

Re: Car shows 2016
Laguna blue looks so right. There's a Canadian 97 that comes to Stratford every summer for the Theatre; I like comparing my Mica black 97 (gunmetal black alloys before powdercoating) to it as she stays at a B&B right around the corner from me.
This summer in my area there are Vintage Cruise-ins every night of the week in villages within a 30 to 60 minute drive. I go to as many as I can and the SVX gets much attention for it's rarity, quirkiness and envelope-busting engineering. Last Sunday our local group A.C.E.S. held our annual hospital fundraiser all day lakeside car show - ~ 500 angle parked vehicles of all types and vintages.
