F1r blower
Nice machineing.
F1r next to p1sc comparison.
Ported Trick Flow heads and Intake
Heavy duty piece.
12 rib 7.65 crank pulley with machined spacer.
Drilled out 3 more bolt holes.
Canton oil pan installed and I add the right stuff sealant. Hands down best stuff for sealant that I know of. I'm saying this from experience.
Bracket I built for additional strength for the blower to keep flexing minimal.
Bolts onto front of block and the side. Really hard to get a good picture of it.
Here's the top additional bracket. I'm going to redo this to some more heavy duty steel. At the time of doing this one I ran out of steel and not happy with it but that will be later once I finish other stuff first.

Thank you. It's getting really close. I basically already finished all of the car now. I'm just lacking headgaskets and doing a few other mods to it. I keep updates flowing.

Just a little teaser pic.just finished spraying the bumper today. Body gaps are measured exactly 4mm or 0.15 inch tolerance all around the car. Hood to fender, headlight lens to bumper, bumper to hood etc. These cars never line up and neither did this build. I'll show you all how I do it, most people freak when they see the work process on their vehicles but I always say, it's gotta get worse before it gets better. Anyways, I'll keep my talk to a minimum and let my work do the talking. Stay tuned final unveil
Is right around the corner.

Some nice finish touches IN my opinion.
60 smd for rear taillights. I'll be putting switch back bulbs for the front turn signals.
New signal/Parking housing.
Electronic flasher
I'll be using 9005 and 9006 L.E.D. bulbs for my headlights. 12,000 lumens for high beams and gonna try using 2,000 lumen low beams. If anyone may have some knowledge in knowing where I can find projector beam housings for this car that would be great.

Mock up stage for front end.
Gaps are off pretty good.
I always remove all paint around letters so it don't look distorted from paint stacking.
Passenger side.
It's got to look worse before it looks better.
That's more like it. Perfect body gaps.
