its in summerfield, right above you
Thanks for the link. I might drive out there one day, it's only about 30 minutes away. We have a Ferrari/Maserati dealer here in Greensboro, but no Lamborghinis so that would make it worth the trip. Thanks again and keep up that good work!

The shock bodies need to be painted red and then I need to apply the Koni sticker and they're finished.

All the parts:

First, the spring had to be shortened and the ends were flattened.

Next, the top shock body needed to be filed and sanded to accept the photoetch discs and then drilled to accept the watchband pin.


Then the lower shock body was drilled and that's a wrap.
