Fantastic!! I will be sure to let you know if I have to go there. I am hoping what I have will do because this has ran way over budget.

Looks amazing.

However, I'm not a fan of that "shift knob", much prefer the factory AOD look...

Keep up the great work.

Had to get creative to mount the Darale trans cooler. A little aluminum and some imagination and it turned out killer. Made a mount using the existing aluminum tank straps. Almost looks like it was meant to be mounted there

I dropped an extra set of stock amber headlights to the paint shop to be very lightly smoked. Can’t stand how dark the aftermarket ones are (the red car pictured). Wanted something ever so slightly darker than stock to go with the theme I’m after. First pic is new and old on the car. As you can see they’re not overkill imo

The hunt to track down 5k original mile black tweed was so worth it. THIS is exactly what I had in my head for an interior

Sweet! Interior looks perfect! Are you setting up the cooler to push or pull air? Do you have a little clearance for air movement? Please check the side tanks of the cooler for their powdercoat bungs before filling with fluid. I can explain privately

Trans cooler is great.
LOVE the interior and tint.
Nice to keep the stock shift but could it be cut down at all?
I’d leave that decision mainly to how it feels when you sit, but aesthetically an inch cut down may look even better. Definitely splitting hairs at this point.
Hope you get to fire it soon!

I agree totally on the shifter. As for right now the goal is to get the car together and tuned/ready for the street and then make little tweaks like that afterwords. Knowing me the car will have an A10 next year anyways lol

Man that looks killer, That is one of the first mods I'll be doing to the Saleen when I get her, window tint.
Coincidentally I actually removed the tint on that car because I thought it looked so “elegant” with clear class. But with the changes you’ve made I can see tint being appropriate now :)
