Radiator and condenser mounted.


Found a spot for the trans cooler.

Decided to mount the coils down in the fender (car will never be driven in the rain).





Put some stuff on so wires wont burn up.


Put the oil drain on.

are you going to extend the coil wire harness/sensor? I wondering how you're going to plug that in. I'm thinking about putting mine near the fenders,but more towards the headlights and underneat the fuse box.

Very nice build. I like the attention to detail and not cutting any corners but I'm wondering why you dyna-matted the interior just to end up putting the exhaust out the front? Besides the noise, I assume the driver is gonna smell like exhaust pretty bad.

Thanks, we like the way it turned out also. We re used about 6" of piping to make it. Most of it is just a flare then the muffler.

No reason the exhaust will go in the car. I drive with windows up and a/c on.

For a street car a air to air is more efficient. On a car that see's a lot of track time air to water is the way to go.... heres my race car. Inlet temps stay around 47*-50*



I know Steve, his killer chiller works real good. I ran one on my Lightning I use to own.

All the cold side is currently at the coaters... it will be the same color as the car.
Here's a shot of my vacuum distribution block/lines


-20 coolant lines/fittings


Power steering set up/lines, over flow catch can, and brakes (still need to finish)


Started bolting up the lights...


Mikes transmission called and said the trans is ready to pick up. So now I just need to get out there.

Kind of fell by the wayside, I still need to go pick my convertor up. Been busy with customers cars and getting my race car ready for PSCA... Heres the newest toy for that... 2 of them.
