Does Frank have a mold of the center console glovebox?

Console seems to be coming along good! Special thanks to Digibeam (wish he would make an account!)

Got a little work done last night. Battery relocated to the front and wired with a switch. I rand the wires ran through the front firewall down the console and through a grommet in the rear firewall to the motor

Forgive the hacked up battery box it's what I had (it will be mounted more permanently later)

I am planning on using a Porsche Boxster for this build, if you see any big problems with this please let me know.
How do you search for your parts, I’ve noticed that many people on the threads are kind of vague on where to get parts.  It would be good to have a good resource for all those small things that keep you from finishing up with something like you mentioned.
Where did you get your exhaust and the headlight rings?  Seems that finding good parts and trustworthy people is hard.

You knocked the nail on the head with that statement "Seems that finding good parts and trustworthy people is hard." I don't see anything wrong with using a Porsche Boxter however not many people run them (prob due to pricing) so you wont find a ton if information about how to make the body fit, etc. For the price of a Boxter you could probubly get a custom chassis made ??? ? Most bodes are designed for a Fiero they are cheap and readily available then do a SC3800 swap (that is what I am doing). There was one other guy doing a Boxter build and he was keeping his Boxter interior which if you weren't going for OEM that would be perfect.

One thing to remember no matter who tells you what "there is no wrong way to build these cars" everyone has there own technique but most fundamentals are the same, ie; how to fiberglass, weld, etc. I am no professional AT ALL actually ive only been messing with my car a little over a month. But research and parts collecting is key. Nothing will bring you down like trying to finnish up with something and not having the part (my biggest problem). What are you using for a donor car?

Thanks for checking on those rims and tires for me.  I plan on getting the kit from John Watson; I had to sell my motorcycle to pay for part of the kit  :'(.  So I will be sending my deposit sometime next week since the guy I sold my motorcycle to will be picking it up on Monday :'( :'( :'(.
Sweet, thank you very much for the warm welcome, hopefully I can make you guys proud with my build also.

Ill have to look at size and brand of the wheels/tires, I know they are 20's all the way around 8.5's front and 13's rear. I can't remember the tire size off hand. The markers I purchased for 45 plus shipping and they came with the side mirror switch and you can have them for what I paid for them. The only reason I am selling them is due to I got another set with my car and didn't know it when I bought the others. Who are you getting your car from? I cant stress this enough DO YOUR RESEARCH on the builders ;) Glad to see you came here, this is a great forum all we are trying to do is assist every part of a replica build, share build stories, joke around a little & have fun, tell everyone to come over here! 8)

Excellent build, I really like the wheels you have.  Would you mind letting me know what brand and size they are?  How much are you looking to get for on the marker lights, just curious right now since I don't even have a kit yet.
Hopefully next week I will be placing a deposit on one.  When I do I'll make my build thread here.  You guys have a really nice site.

I made those headlight rings. They were in the package that JD stole from me.

And the plot thickens....  >:(  So now Tallon and I are in the same boat :-\


Hey Jets what happened to you last weekend?

Yeah that airbag vinyl is made by digi but I thought he was sending that to me, I didn't know JD even asked for one :S

Exhaust tip looks awesome

I don't see why JD is stalling on giving you all the parts
