Starting to get brackets on for quick removal of front.
with intercooler bracket on.
plenty of room for turbo. Radiator will be 1 1/2 inches more forward at the top.
WIth the front on . It has the stock hood latch but may pin on for more room if needed to get some pusher fans to radiator.

I think is is as low as I can go till I get the turbo up front and bring the exhaust out the fenders.. The exhaust is pretty close at this height and not sure I want to push it. Once the turbo goes on I will have another inch or so.

Test fitting the front sheet metal and hood on the tube front. The hood is not needed and is a bit too gangster for me. I will be putting a standard WS6 hood on it.

Car should be back home this month for some paint and sound deadener. Have the front suspension to do as well. I will post some good picks when I pick it up but it will definately happen this month.

It is on the ground and needs just a few loose ends then onto the turbo system. Hopefully Joe keeps the time frame resonable. The chassis side has been a real nightmare from a completion date standpoint. I am about ready to find a trade on a boosted truck.
It needs drop spindles and narrowed a-arms along with a complete front suspension. think I am going with a complete moly PA Racing set up.
Need some v-series fronts but not sure of 15's or 17's. Also, going to ditch the gangsta hood when it gets home.
