Right about now Curley is on a plane heading for Chicago 7 he should be arriving at my shop about 9:30pm tonight. So I thought I'd post a few pictures of what he'll see in about 6 hours when he gets here.      Don't tell Curley that I showed the car to you before he actually saw it. Archie

That looks great! How does the engine compartment vent the heat? Any chance of a picture showing down through the back window?

Wow the car looks great, and it is not even finished yet !
Curly still has some very, very cool mods in store. Great job Archie and crew.
Could somebody possibly photoshop the car lowered ?
It is going to look mean !

Rob, Kris & Mark, I'm sure, will thank you for your kind words. I gotta say, that as much as I like to give Curley a hard time for some of the ideas he comes up with, he does have a "vision" of what he wants that is quite extraordinary. (Don't tell him I said that) And my crew can make just about any "vision" into reality. Archie

Is the car sitting higher due to the 10" coil overs?

I arrived at Midway around 21:30 hrs and I got camera pic. It took Leroy and I nearly 90 minutes to Archie's shop and I nearly pissed my pants. Leroy was liking his new chopper.

A little update finally...... Here are a few pictures taken before the Dells Show......      You'll remember that I had said that the car wasn't lowered yet etc. etc. etc. It was just at the Dells show as a display only car, but from the reactions to the car, I'll bet it would have gathered a few votes had it actually been entered in the show. Anyone who has any more pics of it at the Dells show please feel free to post them. Archie

Hehehe he must be an insomniac !! Wait till you see what happens with the rear end ! I have no idea where he gets all these great ideas ! He has enough cool ideas that he could probably trick out 50 fieros and still have a couple dozen ideas left over.

I didn't get a good night rest during the Dells show. I tossed and turned for most of the night thinking of ways to tweak the front and rears. My eyes were blood shot red from all of the smoke and had a slight headache too.    [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 06-16-2007).]

Side views will come in handy during parking (I hate blind sides). [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 06-10-2007).]

Ramping: on our way to the Dells 2007 show.   At the Dells 2007:  The C6 Corvette fog lamps and vented (funtional). Rear lines: Notice the Enhancements line under the sail window by Archie and the Crew. These guys will pick-up where your pipe dreams end. Pretty good IMO while you're 1900 miles away. It's good to know they work on auto pilot, hehe.  [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 06-17-2007).]

Nope. I'm not doubting the GT40 vents would look good running along side the 350Z glass but, I'm going with the Enzo style. The GT40 has found it's location headed south on the car.

Does anybody know where I can purchase a set of new side view mirrors similar to the Ferrari modena 360? Example:   25+ yr old side mirrors gotta go!
