Can't possibly say anything that hasn't been said. Do you park it with the hood up; that is one sexy engine bay!

Thanks all

Might be another week or so before I light it.....had to rearrange the "what happens next" list. Car will go to the shop next week instead of this due to a few more lose ends that shouldn't be rushed. Lol, its been 8yrs.....another few days shouldnt hurt. So I'll be putting the front end on this week instead. Might look like a real car by the weekend!!!

Amazing build!! I still can't get over your shock towers, just awesome. I did all the same shaving/trimming you did in the engine bay, thought mine was unique having trimmed the lip of the upper support... guess not. I thought about smoothing the seams but didn't have a welder and couldn't think of any other way to do it.. I'll be copying yours very soon

Thanks! Of course there's always a few things I'd do different, but I should get by with this for awhile

-------------------------------------------------

Few more pics as the push for SEMA continues

Still have a few adjustments to make, but the fog-less fascia, anti-cat fish grille complimented with 6LE Storm Gray whistled headlights look pretty good





Underneath, we're rockin MWCs bumper support...



A few more layers of detail. Between losing the stock bumper support/energy absorber and washer bottle, its amazing how much it cleans things up. Of course, a few shines pieces and a little hydro go a long way.
