No massive update today, haven't had much "loud time" with the air tools because my 1 year old needs to sleep so I have to do this in whatever free time I have... not fun.

Taking stuff off a little bit at a time, making sure to cut a little short. I don't have the mini-tubs here yet, so I can't mock it up before making my close out pieces for the frame.

Getting there! No turning back now... frame has been cut and the junk metal has been scrapped.

Nice work Max, cant imagine doing that work with your 1 yr old trying to sleep through it. :D

Yea, it typically doesn't go so well... Thankfully I'm almost to the "quiet" part of this side, the welding.

People kept telling me it would take 40-80 hours to do this, so far I think i've got roughly 7 hours into it. It's no where near done for this side and I think I probably did at least 5 hours researching photos and videos.

We shall see :)

Props for doing all this on your own. I would be terrified to do that to my car. I wouldn't have a problem if my motor was spread all across the shop floor but metal work terrifies me! :omg:

The best part about doing metal work is that you can always add it back on :D

Motor is here!!

So far very impressed with this motor, looks great, wiring harness looks well prepped and it was crated well despite being hit with a forklift at FedEx! LOL

Man that must get you motivated, good luck with the one year old and free time :lol: I had to put mine on hold for a couple of years because of my twins, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Love what you are doing with this part 2 of your build Max.

Man that MAST motor looks great, all business!

That intake looks pretty tall, will it clear the hood?

I've been told it will clear with a cowl hood. :)
