Also made a block off plate to mount my rocker switch panel,a few gauges,and the window switches.Needs a little more trimming around the edges and then I will cover it.

It is awesome, but it will be more awesome after he rebuilds the whole car his way.

The only thing he is gona reuse is some plastic, the body, and the rear-end.

Got it from here http://www.aeicnc.com/
It is setup to run an alt on either side depending on how you have your exhaust setup.

Good looking build, I like all the custom work. Whats the plan for the car all out race or some street time too?

Can't wait to see what that 408 does with the 88 on the track, everyone says 408 is to big for a 88 in a dedicated race app but I want to see if it works.
