Default Kandy Hellfire WS6 build thread

Here's a thread to show the progress on a wicked custom Trans Am we're putting together. We stripped down to a shell, Kandied all the jambs under the hood(stripped every wire and bolt from the engine compartment) did all the mods to the engine with the K member on the ground, re-wrapped and re-loomed all the harnesses, and just got it back in.

Every bolt on the engine and in the engine compartment was chrome plated, every bracket polished or ceramic coated, titanium coated headers with color matched FAST intake, valve covers, coil brackets.. Kandy Hellfire coils and fuel rails.... tons of detail.

We've still got a little ways to go but I'll leave this thread up to show the progress.
