Well I havent really been doing the updates like I had been, Nate and I have made some good progress so far. I have have been doing the engine work when not in the shop.
Here are some pictures of the engine, heads on, cam in, oil pan on and intake sitting on the engine for mock up. Ill let the pictures do the talking really.
We got the car back out to the shop after finishing some other project. Got the door moldings removed, started on the radiator mock up and will be working on the lower support with bumper support within the next week or so.
More updates to come in the next few weeks! Thanks for looking!

It will be mounted to a tube we will bend in the future, it will be removable and bolt to the end of the frame mounts we made. It is only mounted on the top right now.

Got a little update......Have not done much on the car, took a short break from working on it. Got back on it this week with Nate and some help from another buddy. Got the cage primered which you can see in the pictures. Also got the bottom radiator support welded on and got the lower tabs for the radiator welded on. Finally got the big A2W intercooler mounted behind the passenger side headlight, we got one more bracket to make for it then it should be 100% done. Should start work on the front bumper bracing this next week and then off to Holley Fest (not racing )!!
More updates to come later! ALL THE BOLTS WILL BE CHANGED, JUST MOCKED UP RIGHT NOW!

Some small updates have been made here is a few pictures of the bumper support we made and the Travel limiters we made and installed. Thanks Jake for the travel limiter idea! Honestly the car is a couple weeks from getting the exhaust off turbo, cold side intercooler charge pipes made, and the rear adjustable spring perches installed. Once that's all done it will be torn down and prepped for final assembly. Still a lot of parts and pieces to purchase so its still far from being ready to rock

Well kinda been slowly working on things. Went to Holley fest and LSx shootout in Indy so that kind of slowed things down a bit. Got the front bumper support finished and got our travel limiters made. Nate posted the pictures.
Getting ready to take the car to Bill so he can do my coldside and exhaust. Kinda waiting to purchase my hood before we do so Bill can do it all at the same time. Also working on our intercooler lines. Once I get some new pictures Ill post them up.

Small update.... got a new left front fender installed since the old one was braken and my Sunoco hood showed up. Will have a big update once it gets done at Bill Davis Fabrication. Bill is doing the exhaust, cold side piping, adjustable rear spring perches and parachute mount.
Thanks for looking! Next update will be a lot bigger!

I don't think it's necessary but who am I haha......I did keep the support that runs underneath the fenders to the radiator support that you can see in some early pictures.

Here is another update! Bill is hard at work and doing a awesome job! Cold side and exhaust is finished, still need to add the BOV but waiting on a aluminum flange to arrive.
Cold side---
Exhaust-- 5" off the turbo to 4.5" through the k-member all 11ga. Aluminum!
Should have rear spring perches and parachute update later this week! Thanks for looking!
