Finally some progress! got the front end welded up today to compensate for cutting the bumper support to fit the intercooler. tomorrow i will scuff off all the rust and paint the support so it doesn't re-oxidize, also on the agenda for tomorrow is painting the intercooler piping. Im finally getting so time to finish this thing.
