Its definately a tight fit in the rear where the exhaust is. We had to put in tunnels through the floor for the exhaust to run up into.

Another cool little thing, some of you may have asked where the filler in the tank was going to be. We solid mounted a spare tire in the trunk, and the filler is inside...

Robbie, that filler is awesome. You are so full of ideas!!!!

Here's some pics of some firewall modifications to accomodate the engine being set back in the car a couple inches. *The filler work was done by the previous shop and will be fixed when we get ready for paint (it's pretty thick)*

We also modified the firewall around the hydroboost unit to make it look a little more like it was meant to be there:

We also modified the inner fender to clearance the brake lines a bit and also removed a couple factory dimples and holes to make it look a little cleaner but still original:

Here's a cool mount we machined here at the shop. Its pretty fancy for what it does, it holds the remote reserviour for the power steering...

Had to make it a two piece design to be able to bolt up properly.

The owner has plans for a huge stereo in the trunk and asked if we could fit a battery hidden away in the front engine compartment somewhere, so this is what we came up with:

The actual hold down still hasn't been fabricated in this photo yet.

We formed the stock inner fender to clear the pro-charger and started building templates for the mounts that will then be water-jet cut from 1 inch aluminum:

I'd like to see some pics of the floors and the truck, with the tunnels for the exhuast.

Looks great.

I'll try to get you some in the next week or so, I don't have any on the computer and the cars loaded with all of the parts to it.
