    I dont post on here as often as I used to but I have been working on my car for a while now. Its getting closer to being completed in the next month or so. I won't flood the thread with pics. But you can follow my process through Instagram if you want @klovephotography. Thats where I have been posting most of my pictures.
    Anyways. I didnt have any body damage to the car but I just felt I hit a wall on the build and needed to step outside of the box. I was supposed to do the FF 2 years ago when I had a guy bacon my fenders when he rolled them. But had issues and to long of a wait to receive the overs. So I nixed the idea and just got the car fixed and continued the build. Started working on the car in February. It was really tough to cut the car up. There was a lot of going back and forth. But I knew in my mind if I was to do this I would do everything I can to get it to look as clean as possible. So here are a few pictures along the process. The underside of the fenders and quarters are all done being welded and sealed up. Followed by undercoating spray. This has has been quite the project and I am really hoping to be completed within the month. I have to cut the rear bumper now and prep the rest of the car up for paint.

    Can't wait to see it done and glad you decided to mold the fenders on instead of rivet

    Molding looks soo much nicer with those OEM style fender flares.

    I'm really debating doing a set of these rears,

    One of the things I really don't like about the Felony Forms is that they are typically riveted on. Very interesed in seeing how this turns out with them molded in. Should look good...subscribed...

    Looks great! What's left to be done before paint? Going to replace the front glass when they spray it?

    Yes most definitely. I don't want anything masked off. I've bought every new trim piece to replace when it's all done ??

    When you repaint it, are you keeping it TV?

    It's actually Daytona. I do have a different color in mind. But if I can't do that color (due to cost) then it will stay Daytona.

    thank you for molding the fenders. cannot stand riveted bullshit after the liberty walk/pandem/bolt on flare craze.

    Do you have plans for the gas cap, or are you going to leave it recessed like other Felon Forms I've seen?

    Thanks guys

    The gas lit has been spaced out to sit flush.

    The goal that I am going for is it to look like its all factory. Im working a lot of the small details. Which is probably why its taking a little longer too.

    For example the rear bumper requires a trim. It was cut, but cut a section of the bumper then re attached the factory edge so it doesn't look cut (if that makes sense)

    I have a fairly long list of things still needed to be done. Next is mounting the spoiler with risers. Going to drill the holes and make everything clean before paint.

    I like the vert lid brake light with the gt wing. That was one of the options I considered before I picked up the GT2 wing when I had the gt rep. Ever seen it before? I've never seen it done.

    I was going to do my light mod before I got my hands on the GT2. But since I sold it to an ungrateful member I bought the gt wing. I kept my old vert lid for this reason. I like how far the GT hangs off the trunk. The GT2 just sat on the trunk to far even tho I installed it to sit off the trunk a tad.

    Thanks man. I really dig them so far.

    Slow progress but I can see the car finishing up and premiered next week. Just the windshield needs removed. Everything else is stripped sitting in my garage for cleaning. I get some sort of satisfaction cleaning up.







    Part of the extended time is due to the little touches Im trying to keep with the build. All the trim will look like its never been cut.
