I'm curious to why your having to cut the front glass, I was looking into this intake a lot and havent seen anyone have to cut into the glass.its it because of the k member your using? I was just looking at stangkilr's 02 build and he had around .25 clearance between the glass and top of intake after cutting the sheet metal out. After seeing what your having to go through makes me want to do a stock style intake
Yes cathedral port is taller than the reqtangular port intake

Got the intake on completely, just need to increase the clearance, for any engine movemnet, and find a way to seal it.
Here is the new blade I bought (AMAZING)
The carnage from the new blade, SO MUCH FASTER

Guess who cut their hood.
Im not done yet, I still have to trim for my throttle body, and do some finish work.
The intake will be sanded smooth and powdercoated gunmetal to match everything else on the car.

All my hotside tubing is piling up in the garage. I guess its time to order a turbo...
Right now I'm planning on a S475 T6 1.10 83mm turbine
Any thoughts?

Well I've been slaving away on my wiring harnesses. I relocated the chassis harness/fuse boxes (again), this time they are in the wiper cowl area, looks real good and will let my simplify all the damn wiring that is run all the way to the nose and back. Also, I am doing my best to organize all the damn afterrmarket gauges/shift light/two step/LL/etc

Continuing on the track of a build far too radical for a daily driven car... the car is getting "front quartered"... I just didn't like any of the option to deal with the cutout upper crossmember, I think this plan will allow me to keep a fluid engine bay. So, everything in front of the k-member/strut towers is be trimmed off... and replaced by new-ness.
Ordering steel tonight, turbo is on the way... I should have some serious fab work going on all next week.
