Sounds good! You should put of that video of that BeAsT truck of yours! WOW what a cam


Pedro, I will have a extra set if you are serious. Just send me a PM

Definitely makes a big difference, I think once you hook up the valves and get rid of the rattle it will sound a lot better.  Now I have to look for an OEM muffler

I will try to post the youtube link if my work pc will let me.

Not much of an update, still just doing bodywork and waiting for parts but I did get in some Gallardo mufflers. I temporally put them on just to here the sound. I got a lot of rattle from the valves because I didn't hook them up. The tone was nicer in person and doesn't translate well into video. I am sure many of us had this cross their mind and I realize my flat 6 is a little diffrent from what most guys are using but I wanted to share this for the guys pondering the same idea. My attempt to getting the  sound.

Yea the red looks nice on that rev
I don't care for red on the murcielago

Pic of the Sonic Boom. the car is not my cup of tea but the color is cool.

Although that red does look pretty sick 

[usmc_butler]

Yes, I agree with you 100 percent! Couldn't have said it better

Thanks guys. I didn't even think about doing it the coupe color. I guess it would be too unrealistic to make it a really wild color. Even if I won 100 milloin in the lottery I doubt I would spring for a 2 million dollar car and even more doubtful would be to repaint it some off color, who knows what that would do to the value! I went to the state fair this weekend and there was a matte red metallic Chevy that was wicked color. I found a diecast Reventon in this color and it looks cool but I think it might be more realistic to stick with one of the OEM matte colors.

Gotta go with the OEM gun metal grey color

[usmc_butler]

Again great job! Body work looks good! You got rid of that square thing behind the vent and made the rocker more thin like the original

[autopro]

Good job on the body work   I totally agree with you that too many people put too much bondo on.

[Texas]

I keep tossing color choice around so any ideas would be appreciated. OEM Matte silver or something wild?

[Texas]

A little closer.

I cut along the edges and pushed that piece in about an inch the glassed it into place from the backside and then had to remove some material from the front. From there I then glassed the front to build it back out to the shape I was looking for. Sanded and reshaped fairly close and then I used Tiger Hair (fiberglass reinforced body filler) to get a more refined shape all while trying to minimize the amount of filler used. I am not quite finished with this side. It needs one more coat of tiger hair then a this coat of light weight filler. Should be done tonight.
