the road to The Streets. build finish and first event of George's FD fc3s
before we tell you everything/how/why/where, we have to thank those that made this all happen. without these people we wouldnt have had such a great time and such an awesome car. in no particular order:
George Marstanovic, car owner and driver
Joe Haven, pit crew
Pat Reynolds, spotter
Gerald McClellen, cool guy/ facilitator of all things
Big Country Labs for the big wing
Josh Lind, helper/nice guy
and pretty much anyone who came by the shop and gave moral support, helped out, gave suggestions, and said they couldnt wait to see the car done.
last time we left you with the car interior and bay in paint, with the outside color and livery left before our debut at Longbeach round one of Formula Drift 2012. now lets have you see what we did to finish it up and make it look the part of a top level competition car:
paint finished up (excluding the Extreme Dimensions bodykit)

the color on the exterior is similar to last year but we did a custom mix with alot of green pearl in the base. we changed it so much the color is now known as "Elevens' Tealpearl". you could buy this for yourself under that name if you so desired from a Sherwin Williams autopaint store! pretty cool!










sweet, now the car went back to the possesion of George and he did the motor install/drivetrain/suspension/wiring. the hard stuff. the car was brought back down for a shakedown at a local drift event. the Modified Tuner Shootout has drifting by Trial By Fire, a local orginazation. George is one of the leaders of this group and felt it was a great time to run the car first and also help run the event. he gives advice and ride alongs if asked so if you see him at an event dont be shy!



car worked great, made smoke, all the good stuff it needed to do.time to get the sponsors happy and work the livery out
in the shop:

George is know as "the lumberjack" and what better to suit him than leaves on the car?
Chrome first layer going on

the tan accents, reflective red leaves on. placing sponsor logos and of course the Elevens' one as well

yay!







i leave you for now with these shots of the wing on, the car in the pits at longbeach and ready to slide


come back for the next post, as we take you through our experience at Formula Drift round 1!

fuck yeah.

George Marstanovic 2012: A new FC, same ol' badassery
we got started on the painting process of the new 2012 chassis for George. its another FC, now getting a new v8 with more power. heres a view of the progress
the new shell was brought to the shop along with some of the old parts we would be using.( hood, m-sport rear overs) we then stripped the doors and removed some other stuff.



George had filled some firewall holes and made these nifty tubs and removable lower core support. went ahead and smoothed this stuff in and primed it



then moved on to prepping and painting the cage. we matched the cage to the panasport wheel color


Gerald helped out and installed the overs. we used nutserts for this

with that we spent about 5 million hours prepping the interior and masking the cage, then sprayed it all along with the bay. color is our same mini oxygen blue as last year but with chrome metalflake on top of it


did the door interiors too


un mask that shit!
