Got the turbo set up mostly done. Waiting on the intake to do the charge pipe. No intercooler because I am going to blow through a c&s 4500 alky carb.

Got my intake in and used another dominator to mock up to the cowl and unfortunately I had to cut the SOB. I guess now I am going to have to use a Optic Armor windshield to notch it for the carb also. Oh well, its the nature of the beast. Also I dont think my VFN Sloped hood is goig to work and I really dont want to have to build a bubble on top of it. Anyone need a hood?? I am probably going to sell it.

good looking build! I think I want to do something very very similar to this with my car. gotta finish my buddies little car up first(nothing near this tho.... he doesn't want to cut ANYTHING) so I'm just getting out what I can. I have zero Fab experience but I know I can do it. I'm just gathering the tools of the trade now.
