Looking at your pics I see the upper radiator hose comes off drivers side.. Is this typical of the griffen? Its just what I need to mount the turbo up by the battery tray.
By the way car looks amazing
nothing like taking your time and doing everything right the first time

Thanks, hopefully i can make some motown track rentals this season! should be a lot of fun!
i'm at work right now. kinda slow here so i might take off, but i'm waiting on a few cars to be dropped off by a hauler. anyways, maybe sean or greg will snap a picture, if not i'll try later tonight when i'm up at the shop

That intercooler support is amazingly bad ***. I don't see how you could drive with that windshield like that. I think that would drive me bonkers.
I agree 100% There's a lot of little thing I've done to my cars that no one will ever see, but I still am happy knowing I did it.

sumped tank, aeromotive eliminator pump, a couple filters and aeromotive rails are on their way. i need lines and some 96# injectors oh and a regulator and i'll be set in the fuel department. but i won't be around much until the beginning of march

no not yet 
i still need to get the BS3 wired in and a few other odds and ends to wrap it all up. but the past 2 months i've been working ~60'ish or more hours a week so i've had zero time for anything except work and a little bit of sleep here and there....
the entire fuel system is plumbed except for i need to shorten up my return line from the regulator...the muffler still needs to be welded on, and then just wiring. oh and i need to run the brake lines/line lock not too bad really. my initial goal date was may 31st but it looks like it might not be done for another month or atleast until i slow down at work some

few updates. everything is taking forever since i have next to no time to work on the car it seems. hell i even went out and got a YZF-R6 just to cure my speed fix till the car is done!
anyways. not much looks different but all the plumbing is done. the valve cover catch/breather can is hidden nicely in the passanger side fender well. all the lines are nylon braided so they don't scratch up my paint like the stainless counterparts and they look a lot sleaker as well. all the fittings are black as well. i finally got a few pics of how the radiator is now setup. all that is left is to get the BS3 and everything else wired up. my brake lines are all ran with a skinny kid racecars brake kit. -3an braided lines to all single flare. the line lock is conveniently hidden on the drivers side frame rail. that big ugly ABS block and everything else makes for a cleaner look. the batter box is also nicely planted in the spare tire area so it's hidden even!
threw in a few old pics from the fabbing stages!
Radiator lines. i need real couplers obviously but they're made anyways!
some of the lines hidden way back under the cowl. looking at the car you can't even see them...160# injectors
and how she sits as of now waiting for wires!
