Man looks nice, really wish I had a tig and knew how to use it. Love the aluminum stuff for some reason specially on cold sides and radiator setups like that. Gives it a real custom/ clean look since you can route it just how you want and your not piecing together rubber hoses.

Thanks guys. The hood will prob be a extended/wide version sunoco hood. Part of me wants to run a stock hood from Vfn and cut the hood so the elbow and part of the cold side sticks through it cause if done right it looks badass but then I'd have a huge gap between the back of the hood and windshield since I cut my cowl back. But then with a gap there it would pull more heat out of the engine bay so I dunno. A hood is last on the list, don't need that to drive it, lol.

Little bit, nothing to post about. In the progress of making a overflow tank for radiator and mounting it under the front bumper cover. I'll post up a few pics in the next few days when I finish it. I should be getting my electrical boards to wire up car then buy engine harness then its about to fire up!!

How much would you charge to make a hot side on my 04 gto? Needs the radiator moved forward so the lower support would need to be cut out and fabbed, some minor stuff would need to be trimmed on the upper core support. Other than that 90% of the cold side is there. pm me if your interested in doing so

Busted out some more work tonight. Fabbed up my overflow tank for the coolant. It's a 4" round tube, 7" tall then capped the ends, welded on a -8 bung on top for the blow down tube. After that welded on 2 mounting bungs. One bolts through the core support and the other mounting point I welded a piece of chromoly tube to the frame rail and a mounting tab. Needless to say its VERY SOLID!! Sucks its hidden under the bumper cover but cool at same time. Now the coolant system is 100% finished!

Well after years and years I finished up the last few things tonight so I can officially say its done!! All I got left to fire it is buy a new harness but that's just plug and play so I don't consider that part of the build. Turned out exactly what I had in my mind over the years! Here's the last few pics I have.
Made some bungs I welded to the radiator for mounting and made some mounting brackets. Solid as hell and the runner hoses give just enough flex for the motor to flex.
Remade the DP for the WG. I didn't like how it was before and pointing towards my Trans lines so I made a new one and just dumped it to the ground.
