Finished building "TROJAN"
 
I've completed construction of TROJAN. This is a 15th Anniversary Edition Factory Five MKIV with quite a few mods and embellishments. The kit was purchased and started in 2011, but life circumstances led to a 3 year storage. My brother gave me permission to do the build for him and we "restarted" it in Feb. 2014. To say it came out better than expected is an understatement. I started the build to be a driver, but when my brother decided to use his TROJAN license plate, the scope of the build changed. This was basically an "Open Check" build, and I was free to build it any way I wished. Truly a best-case scenario! The power was kept reasonable to produce a balanced, fast but not dangerously fast canyon carver. It won the "Best Under Construction" award at the 2015 HB cruise-in.

The basics are as follows:
  • 15th Anniversary kit, #2 of 15
  • FMS Crate BOSS 302, with Holley HP multiport EFI. 374fwhp
  • TKO600 with midshift kit
  • Moser 3 link, with limited slip, 355 gears
  • FFR supplied brakes
  • Front and Rear Bumpers

Mods/Enhancements:
  • Polished engine bay and trunk. All polished panels finished with SharkHide
  • All aluminum panels either polished, or powdercoated, sometimes both (one side polished, other side powdercoated)
  • Enlarged passenger foot box
  • Stainless, polished, engine turned Nose Shroud
  • Polished, engine turned upper Radiator Shroud
  • Polished Fan Shroud
  • Hella Tri Air Horns
  • Ceramic coated Catalytic Converters
  • Gas-'N Stainless Side Pipes
  • Finishline louvers, painted body color
  • Custom Dash, Polished and engine turned "ghost stripes"
  • 2 Quick Release steering wheels (Wood and Leather)
  • Custom Glove Box
  • Custom Carpet
  • Finishline Door Pockets
  • Kirkey Vintage 48 seats, mounted on custom brackets
  • Polished Rear Cockpit Cubby, with engine turned back wall
  • Alpine 4 speaker Stereo system, driven via smart phone
  • Harness Bar
  • Polished, hinged and engine turned rear trunk wall
  • Polished, engine turned Trunk Block-Off Plate
  • Type 65 Coupe Tail Lights

Looking good, CNGreen!
If you ever decide to sell, you'll get top dollar in Palos Verdes. There's more Trojans per capita here than anywhere. :D

Ron :)

Beautiful work. But then yours always is. ;)

At first I thought something was wrong with the dash, then my eyeballs lined up correctly. That is one sick build.

Bernica 01-09-2016 02:04 PM

I know you are a Bruin, so that must have been a somewhat conflicting build!;)

I saw it up close at "Serpents in the Garden" show in Arcadia and can attest that the paint and build are quite amazing.:cool:

We went with 17" Nitto NT01's. 255 front and 315 rear. They may end up being our track tires. They are almost slicks!
