Got a smile on its face now. LOL. Looks good. Just not to sure if I am digging the whole fron of the nose cut out. Are you going to put anything in front of the IC? It may be becasue the car isn't painted though. Nice work wither way.

looks like a professional installation.
I was wondering when you cut and installed the verticle radiator, does the windshield washer resovar (container) have to be taken out or moved ( I hope to keep it in)? I am not planning on installing a Front mount intercooler.

I would say you should be ok on that... I got rid of mine when I first tore my car apart... There is a lot of room down in there!!

Thanks!! That is one thing that I think is going to make my engine bay is how clean it is going to be... I put the computer underneath the dash and moved all the wires inside and I also put the fuse box that is on the driverside on the frame rail so you can't see it either!! Should look pretty good I hope!

In the process of doing that... I am getting rid of everhole that I will not need. Moving all the grounds so you can't see them and stuff like that. Got rid of heat and air... Battery is in the back...
