I purchased some aluminum fuel tanks. Now i have to modify the install for the new tanks. These will be better then using the stock C5 fuel tanks.

Tranny is in! The tranny is a ricardo box from a Ford GT, it should have no issues with holding the power.

Tiago deserves his own post. I have been friends with Tiago for a very long time dating back to my V6 camaro modding days. Tiago and I have worked on many projects together and the man is simply awesome. I moved the car over to Tiago’s shop and we worked on the turbo kit. Thank you Tiago!
Tiago's **** in the next pictures!!
