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.



The COMBO is a MT 325x15 on a 12 in. Champion Stripster Beadlock.

I want to be able to drop it another inch in case I decide on a 315 later on.

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.

Here it is a little over an inch lower. I need some 315's or so front exit turbo headers to run it this low. At least I have options now.

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.

You can also see the chute was mounted above the license plate. This is will be a fast street car not a race car.
