Well it looks like you've cut enough out to get some of the fuel economy back.

The metal you cut out between shock towers and firewall. Would it effect structure integrity

I’m doing bay bars just haven’t tackled that until the cowl is done.

It’s pretty close my buddy has 30s on his and it’s really tight he had to trim bumper and some other things.

I like those forward bars way more than the old setup. On the motor plate I bought the Ict billet one and their mount kit thinking I'd save time. That was the plan but that changed. On the drivers side I see you got the hole for the alternator mount in the plate, on the passenger side the mount kit I bought bolts to the upper and lower ac bracket holes. I'm going to ditch them and just drill and tap through the side of the upper ac mount bolt boss. Looks good though keep on chipping away at her.

I was going to bolt the fenders back in its original location and decided to do A removable one piece front end so I changed the bay bars. Those motor plates are just for Mach up. I’m building a set kind of like that. Your plan with the alternator should work. Thanks! I try to get a few hours a week working on it.

Sorry about that. It’s been a slow process updating on here when I don’t get much time to work on the car do to work. Here is where I’m at. Trying to finish the one piece front end. Waiting on the VFN hood and started the hot pipes for turbo.
