well the floor was a big pain in the *** and not worth it at all, every time the floor sweats it bubbles and comes up
we used a chalk line; concrete has to breath so I definitely would recommend something that will allow the concrete to breath like tile, or that expensive *** tile lock system.
As for the radiator cap, I had to notch the core support to be able to get the radiator in and out easily.

Ended up moving the radiator forward to make room for air filter. I am running the cobra hat for now till i get a 90 degree elbow. I just needed something so i could take the car for a ride it has been a long winter.
Cut the top first so i could keep the hood latch in factory location.
Here the top part of the core is patched to fill the holes from cutting the core support.

Nice, so you just come out the front with the engine then? I got away with not needing to cut my radiator support this time, but I'll keep something like that in mind for future use.

yes I pull engine thru the top, you can pull your engine without cutting core support, I pull trans and engine same time thru top. you could do a removeable brace and still retain most parts.
I like the super clean look what I was shooting for. Just a thanks for others posting their pics gave me some ideas how to do mine with my twist.

This is mine, not pefect by any means but this was my first time doing any kind of work like this. I used a plasma cutter to cut out the center and welded in some metal plates, then used fiberglass and body filler to do the rest. I am going to tack weld some inch and half square stock to the lip on the bottom of the rad support to keep it level and hold it in place on the bottom, on the top I have an aluminum bracket.

Ya that's the I have right now but my new turbo location puts the air filter right in front of the upper hose so I need one that has both hoses on the passenger side
