Fuel lines are routed behind the brake booster, the Computer was relocated to behind where the heater/ac controls are usually, under the dash

It is hard to keep it clean, but it is doable and he does. Rhis isnt a trailer queen, it can be daily driven, just a lot of effort has been put into it, it was going to be driven down to Atlanta for G10 but it had a bad electric water pump so that kept it from making it down there. These pics were taken while the car was still on the lift and the owner cleaning the bottom. Hopefully we will get some track times in the near future.

All work was done at F-Body Motorsports, we will have a page dedicated to this car in the near future. In the mean time you can visit our site at fbodymotorsports.com and see all of our project cars, just go to the photo gallery tab and you can check them out there.

I somewhat prefer the look of the powdercoated stockers vs some aftermarket versions, never been a fan of them, too gaudy to me

That guy's gonna win some trophies for sure. Popping the hood and seeing nothing but a motor is the only way to go. Awesome job.

take a look at my engine bay. Page 4. There are 2 pics there but not up close. I get it back from paint tomorrow. So I will get more pics out soon.
We actually went all the way and welded up some plates over the hole where the fuel lines came in. Also welded up the lines as you can see. we will also be hiding the wires as much as possible

A lot of work put into this car, thanks for all the compliments.
