Guess I can turn this into my build thread.

I am moving forward and made some progress this past weekend with some help from Arch Eng. AKA AEI! Huge thanks to Bob for getting me the spectacular parts!

The motor plate mounted up and laid right on the frame rails the first time we dropped it in! Anyone looking for motor plate, mid plate, or any parts that AEI offers I would highly recommend you contact Bob, he is great to work with and his products are spot on.

Here are a few pics with the motor plate, mid plate, and the mock up blower in place.

 

Nice, Brian! The YSi clears the hood, right? Can't wait to see this finished!

 

sick build!

Love the colour, and the cage looks great!

Keep it comin!

 

Convertibles, represent! I'm right there with ya!!

 

Yes sir Bob, your work turned out great! We have at least 1" to 1 1/2" of clearance from the blower to the hood.


Thanks! It may be a little slow go for a bit other than the cleaning up the engine bay and getting it ready to start all of the fab work.

That is one of the main reasons I wanted to build this car, I played with the options of buying a different car to build but something just kept me wanting to build this one mainly because it is a convertible.
