Close enough, I’ll probably have the anodizer people media blast it before anodizing to give it a uniform surface.

Dropped off the Aluminum bits at the PO today, thanks again Jeff, GoMachV for another reference.

I finished trimming out and stickering up the body. The spoiler is still drying. I quite like how well this one looks so far. Can’t wait to finish out the chassis for this one.

I received my anodized parts today. My fault on not pulling the steel pins from the flywheel. Totally didn’t even think about it. No worries though I have another (cooler) flywheel inbound. Also ordered a random batch of aluminum hardware. I will need to order some different lengths in the future.

And a few pictures as it sits. I could almost get it into a roller just need to put shocks together and a few other small parts.

This is looking badass! I love the stealth look. Can't wait to see it evolve.

My new flywheel showed up today. I had no idea something like this existed. If my original flywheel had been anodized I would’ve probably never found this and it fits the style of this build so well.

I pulled out some of the other parts to build a little more tonight. I still need rear hub carriers and bearings otherwise I’d have put the CVDs together too. Also discovered the shock kits didn’t come with top or bottom spring retainers either. And I realized after I took these pictures I left one silver aluminum screw in the lower right shock, I’ll fix that :wink:

But that’s about as much as I’m doing tonight. Time to browse ebay for some more small parts.
