    Here are a few teaser pics, the car will be on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2 weeks, please come out and introduce yourselves from the forum if it's in your area. I'll post final pictures next week when it's all detailed out and the spoilers are mounted. The white on the spoilers in these pictures is still the plastic protective wrap, they are all currently getting anodized a nickle finish to match the dash.

    We just finished building these spoilers and door panels this past weekend. They will all be finished in nickle anodizing like the dash

    About 75% of the car looks nice, the other 25% looks like they ran out of time. Are they going to do something about the dash carpet, the column shifter, and possibly the hoses? What made you change your mind about the intake path and the spoilers? Have any trunk/interior pictures? What about shifter/pedal assembly? Curious as to how the rear panels were done for the stereo/suspension, and also how the trunk was done for the fuel cell and such. We have already done several shows/trips with my Fairlane this year, so we probably will not take off for any of Power Tour. We may do part or all of it with either my Fairlane or HHR 2LT next year. I just finished the long block for my wife's Maverick, and have part of the hot side of the turbo kit together. We have it running as a beater... currently have less than $500 not counting her stereo I put in for a Christmas present. I have three parts cars as well, including a Grabber... think I still have less than $1000 in all four cars. Guestimate on total build of her car will be around $25,000, waiting for her to finish up another of her Bachelor degree's to really tear into it, so we are just enjoying driving it as a "stocker" right now!

    Here are a few more from the interior install today, The dash and stereo will be finished up tomorrow. I'll also get better outdoors of the spoilers.

    Still need to tidy up the wiring, but the trunk is shaping up nicely.

    Thanks for the comps guys, it was a blast building it. The Maverick shipped out yesterday for the Power Tour with the rest of the Spectre Performance rides. We'll fly in Friday to drive the Tour............

    Come on out to the Power Tour and see it if it's in your area. Also be sure to introduce yourselves.

    Looks like the wing is one of the signature requirements to be a Spectre car, huh? The double-dually is missing it's wing. ;)

    I think the maverick is Awesome, it's going to bring a lot of interest in our little cars. I would like to see some of the part's become available to us.
