What are you doing for the brake booster? Glad that ugly thing is gone off the firewall. Btw I got mine up and running so I can enjoy it. I can't wait to see this one done or even just more project pics.

Wild build, it's truly unique. Looks great thanks for sharing.

2014!
 
I have not updated for a while and have lost track of the work I have completed... still lots to do.
I am working out stainless hard line plumbing and having a terrible time finding fittings and matching threads. Still welding up the 3" stainless exhaust and should have more pics of that soon.

For now:

cut the hood and started mocking up a hood scoop

rad is in, fan is in, working on a grill and more metal fab on the body

test fit of the dash

you can see the turbo tucked in there, working on firewall, air cleaner location and cold/hot side plumbing

I love this build. I don't care if it's slower moving. I'm patient. Keep up the great work!

DAMN!! Awesome progress!! The car is getting a nose JOB!!

I'd like to see a few more photos of that. And any issues you ran into doing it.

Keep the photos coming.

Nice car man you have some good skills for first timing alot of it. The rendering is sweet, had to re read your whole thread but well worth it. Wish I would have checked it out a long time ago when you were in the engine phase, my buddy had a BMW M3 and always talked about the engine/trans combo "V8 475hp/triptronic 6 speed he called it" and how fun it was on the track, I didnt know if that would have been a good option when you were searching but cant go wrong with the nice LS you built and that awesome turbo setup. Cant wait to see it done, Wish I had those skills! :superhack:

Hi - just saw this post - I think I will be running manual brakes for now - not sure if I can fit a booster in anywhere.
I have no experience with running wilwoods without a booster but they are designed to run without one.

A few issues with the nose yes, it had more rust in it then I expected so I will be fabricating a new one, i will have to add a lower valence to it to extend down where the radiator is now as well. I will post more pics when I get more progress on this metal work.
