tjZ06's G52 Update

[tjZ06]

I thought for sure I had a thread on here about the car, but I guess not.  I don't have a ton of pics/vids on this computer, so I'll make this a quick one (well, by TJ standards ).  I bought the car at the start of the '20/21 season, and it looked like this (complete with two-story roofline and idler chirp): 

@L.R.S. is finishing up a few last things (including lining the front tin so the sub doesn't rattle it, I know y'all will catch that) and I hope to be in the sand with it this Thurs!!!

It looks 100% better without the wing, super smooth body line,

Thanks.  I debated it, but my racing background wouldn't let me do a non-functional wing (or, I should see a counter-productive, but functional at speed wing) and I wanted the clean lines.

I love the car and really like without the wing, but you need a new steering wheel homie! See you in a few days!

I have about 1000 pics of this car and everything I did to it over the past few years.  I'll make some time to add to the thread.

It only put down a bit over 700 RWHP, on what is said to be a stingy dyno.  That's plenty for this car (and me) but I know it's nothing by today's standards.

Thanks, I'm super happy with how it came out.  Huge credit to King Adam, @PainterJoe, @L.R.S., Desert Performance, Twisted Stitch etc. and of course @Grant@Funco and the crew for building it in the first place.

Somewhere I have pics of all the AL work at King Adam's too... looking forward to what you have! 

this car is beautiful, really nice job.

Thank you, though if I'm honest I can hardly take any credit.  The craftsmen involved really deserve all of the props. 

Beautiful

Thanks!
