Killer build and really nice fab work. I actually like the 2-tone look you have going. The only thing I'd say is lose the stickers on the quarter windows and windshield. The exhaust will say enough!

Bad picture, but cut the bottom half of the radiator support off and replaced with tubing so I could fit my fan easier. Also welded up brackets and bungs to radiator so I can mount it and make coolant piping tomorrow. Even had to shorten the lower inlet since there's barely any real estate left in the engine bay.

Down pipe all tacked up, ignore the last piece with big *** gap.

2.25" with a big single 60mm wastegate.
Finally made an idler pulley for up top that bolts over the water pump.
Alternator bracket is adjustable and ended up using a ford 5.0 belt.
Also ordered my driveshaft soooooo this turd is almost ready to melt some tires.

Hey after you get it running for awhile and all tell me how hot it runs... I've been told that blocking off the heater hose nipples like that will cause it to overheat which is how I have mine... After you run it through some heat cycles, can you tell me how the ECT is doing? Thanks in advance and love the build! I just read through the whole thing, it'll be pretty sweet
