Day 5 and progress is looking good...tomorrow night I have dinner with my Mom, and Friday's forecast is rain, so might be stalled for a few days

lookin good sir!

Wow, impressive... I love a shiny engine bay!

That does look really nice...

Have you thought about blue exhaust tips and a NASCAR sticker?

lmao, it would be a great color contrast piece!

I love your UIM

Semi finished for now. I have a JMB Performance FWI on the way that should be here in another couple days.



I also added a new set of wheel center cap decals


And a steering wheel logo to match


Last but certainly not least, the polished stainless tips and Thrush Turbo mufflers have been installed!


The exhaust system sounds great! Just a touch louder than stock with healthy growl at WOT. The engine mods have made a substantial difference by the butt dyno as the engine pulls much quicker and much stronger especially above 3k rpm. The car is a joy to drive and I cant wait for my next road trip!
The only other thing I'm still considering at this point is some kind of subtle mod to the hood, but still undecided on what that may be...but for now, I'm lovin the look and feel!


btw...I've put the stock airbox back in for now until the FWI arrives. I didnt want anyone thinking I was buzzing around with an open TB!

looks real good tim. I really like your ghost hawk decals, definitely unique and adds a "prestige" look to the already sleek look of the bonneville.

haha Im beginning to sound like you with these words...

I have another decal that I'm going to apply to the red powdercoat intake tube. I think that will add a nice touch under the hood. I just hope the decal stands up to the heat.

And if youre starting to write like me, I'll take that as high praise...there are worse things that could happen to you! LOL

I will be posting up some more pics as soon as I get the FWI installed.

haha that means you are teaching the young and dumb of the society to be old and wise!

The FWI arrived today and the red powdercoat finish is beautiful!
Looking forward to getting that installed this weekend and snapping some final engine bay pics!

cant wait to see it!

Finishing touches


Dont know how long the decal will hold up under the heat


Finished engine bay...aside from some detail cleaning

omfg...get some halo lights up front and call that a project! that car, man...breathtaking!

Put some clear coat over the decal itll hold up alot longer.
