That look sawsome. What color is it? Looks sort of like the Sunset Orange used on the F bodies. I'm in the planning stages of putting a SC 3800 in a Fiero and I'm tossing around the idea of using Sunset Orange on it due to it's uniqueness.

Once we get all the stuff into the engine compartment so we can fit the shields, then we can take t all apart to remove the shields for paint.

When we put it all back together for the last time, we'll be using the correct transmission.

We'll have the new shields done by then. They're only a couple of hours away from being done right now.

We have all the wire routing, Dry sump oil lines, P.S. lines, cooling System lines & MAF & other things mounted into the CAI. So we should be able to blow this thing apart one last time Monday morning after we completely finish the shields.

Kris is also proceeding on putting the interior back together, you can see that he has the carpets back in.

I look at that transmission and all I can think about is that it is about to take it prison style.

Looks like it is really coming together nicely. What are you doing on the interior front? The V8-Archie interior? With the waterfall? Something custom? Hopefully not the nightmare that is the stock interior though.

Then it was time to pull the engine back out so we could have Mark paint the shields.

They will all be painted Orange.
