Little late but it's that time of year!

I might be behind some of ya but the aerocoupe is finally out of its hibernation. Was able to wash it and take a few pics after it's dust covered slumber in which I made quite a few changes. Mostly unseen wiring and boring stuff like that. I think once upon a time I had a build thread but I'm terrible with taking pics and documenting things along the way. So since it's been a while....

Only real change on the outside was the new Ridler wheels and Nitto 555 tires. They are a downgrade from the ET Streets I ran before but these will last a lot longer on the street.....hopefully.

Didn't do much under the hood. Added wipers and a washer system, made an aluminum wiper cover for sh*ts and giggles, made a more permanent ignition box mount, and new fan controller that's already faulty. Next plan is a new air intake setup.

Finished the new dash and console panels. Tidied up the wiring behind the dash and added a few things I didn't have before. Wipers, washer pump, 12 volt phone charging plug, electric heater for windshield defrost, cup holder, and a universal Ididit column. Still have some finishing to do in the radio area. Next is door panels

Had my stock rears and 98-02 Camaro front seats redone in somewhat of a factory pattern. Color is a little lighter than I hoped for but I'll live with it.

Anyone else have a productive winter?

Do it for Dale!
The Monte looks sweet with the upgrades, well done sir!
Over the winter I was able to move into a house with garage which has allowed me to get the Cutlass from a roller to almost ready to fire!

Thanks! I bet you're getting antsy. That's how I was when I was within reach of hearing it run. It's funny you say Do It For Dale. This is a pic I took a few months back lol

Thats a good looking car! Love what you have done to it.

Love the clean engine bay, everything nice and tidy. Nicest Aerocoupe I have ever seen. The color and stance and wheel selection is perfect.
And the interior............spot on. That has to be a fun ride with the shifters and all them ponies under that cowl. Enjoy it, winter will be here before
we know it............

That's one of the nicest Aerocoupes that I've seen !!
I particularly like the vents in the front fenders and the Kilduff shifter.
A nice looking steering wheel would really set off the interior.
The 4 spoke Grant like mine would look good in yours.

Funny you say that. I'm actually looking for a steering wheel. I'm doing away with the chrome in the interior so I could see myself with something like yours but satin black spokes. And thanks for the compliment!

That’s looking good! Sounds like you got a lot done, makes me feel like a slacker.
