I'm painting it Indigo Ink Pearl (dark metallic blue Lexus color 8P4), and the seats are a medium brown leather. Should be a nice contrast. I'm using Brandon. He's got three cars in front of me, so most likely he won't get to mine until the end of the year or January. Then back to ERA for final assembly. Looking at March 2019 to actually have it in my possession.

I'll most likely be going to Brent Lykins for the engine/tranny set up. Brent had mentioned using a 289 block for authenticity and I like that idea. TKO 5 speed, .82 final drive, 3.54 rear end.

Undermount exhaust. Wire wheels with whitewall tires. Sort of a Steve McQueen look, haha.

Some of the other options are the removable steering wheel, 3 fluid cans, inboard rear end, sway bars both ends, heater/defroster, windshield wipers, Tripode headlights, seat tracks, and tonneau cover. No side curtains, no top. I will treat this as a four wheel motorcycle, weather-wise. Fortunately we have seven months of dry weather from November to May, and it's warm.

I've got a really nice 289 block and crank here that I can put your name on...…
