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!

YouTube is much better than photobucket for videos.

Time to make a bad *** down pipe/exhaust.
Vibrant 304SS 4"
Oval to fit past the starter and tuck up under the car so it doesn't scrape.

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.

Finished up coolant piping today. Diff showed up from reshimming too.
Now I need to seal up the diff and put that in so I can order a driveshaft.
This thing if finally getting towards the end.

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.
Also the 2 step works....can't wait to turn it waaaaay up

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
