Time lapse would be awesome... good idea. Looks really nice... most of the top mounts are cluster$&%* under the hood, but that looks clean and symmetrical. I realize you've got all of the other engine bay stuff gone for now so it'll be interesting to see how you put it all back in.

EDIT: What shop is this doing the work? Same shop that built that yellow C6?

The engine bay is for the engine, nothing else. We've already got most of the stuff relocated.

Yup, Atlanta Performance & Fabrication. The same one that makes 1265/1103. This car will be a similar setup.

Got to see it in person Saturday. They have done a lot of moving around and fabrication. Things look very neat and clean. They should finish up exhaust this week and send the motor back to builder for the start of that side of the project some time next week. This will be slow for the holidays but start jumpin again in January!

That's nice... I hear those clamps are special. How do they tighten?

They don't leak, at all.

You see the four-pronged looking thing on the front, facing the camera? You tighten them by pulling those over each other. Kinda like a quick disconnect too.
