Thanks!
I got them on eBay. Just search for flush hood pins and they will come up. I think they were like 20-30 bucks.

Oil cooler is mounted. Inside the front driver side fender. We're still working on finding a place to put the trans cooler.

I think we should be ok with this one. The headers are heat wrapped, plugs are wires have heat shield sleeves, and the downpipe will be ceramic coated and heat wrapped too.

Getting the downpipe worked out. This is definitely a tight fit. Had to make a few adjustments to get it all test fitted. We had to have an ear cut off the trans too. Should work fine though.

I've been looking at Speedhut recently and have a question on yours...Are those OBD2 gauges or are you installing senders for them?

Battery kill switch and terminal posts are going in here behind the plate. I ordered a hinged plate bracket and will have it on a spacer so that it's hidden and can easily be accessed.

Thanks! I was hoping it would be running by now, but there is so much going on with the car it's taking a little longer than we thought. But we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!
