Wow, 20 months? I sent mine out last December and they said 6-12 mos. How long did they initially estimate for your order? BTW, they look very nice in the photo. Are you happy with them?
Thanks
Tony

They are the best,sometimes I was not sure if the wait was worth it.Tom

Its been so long I cant remember. I think they said a year. Thanks Tony, I think they are OK. They do match the original color and texture from the CIA binder. There is a layer of vinyl under the silver which provides a small level of depth, unlike the Lemans panels, which have more of a stuffing under the vinyl. Had them try to match the setback of underlayment so they would fit under the stainless molding at the top of the door.

I can see why that elf is smiling...

NICE! That looks like some big streamrollers out back- what size wheels n tires did you go with?
Who's suspension arms?

Rear wheels are Rally I's, 15" x 10" w/ 5" B.S.* and 325/50 Nitto.* All suspension is Chassisworks except the rear Viking coil overs, which came with the mini-tub kit.

Chad, the Silver Code 205 interior looks awesome!

What is the exterior Paint color plan? What will motivate this Tempest?

Good to see progress being made. Hope you are doing well.

It will be black, and the upgrade to the Chevy based 215 6 cyl is an Aluminum LS 427 twin turbo from Nelson Racing Engines in Chatsworth, CA.
