While the ultra low/air ride style isn't mine... I can definitely say you've done a top notch job throughout this entire thread. I love seeing people do unique things to these great (although lacking in some areas *cough GMcheapasses) cars!

Keep up the great work... sub'd

That's awesome.

"Well since I have the engine out for paint I might as well boost it."

I love it!

If you aren't going to run your battery, or anything else there, then why leave the space for it? To me, it would look better if you extended the lines down from the shock tower onto the front frame rail (that connects to the headlights).

I'm envisioning an engine bay that all you see is a motor (cleaned up of course) with just body colored coverings all around it that are seamless. As much work as you've spent making the car look like it was all made from one gigantic block of metal (or fiberglass) I think that would set off the engine bay nicely.

Great car, though. I've been subscribed for a long time. I love watching this build, it's very inspiring!
