:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks really good guys , that thing is going to be a beast of a car......Y'all !

I demand MORE PICTURES!!!

Incredible work as always.

That is some pretty awesome work right there. Very cool idea.

You said it!
Great updates here.

Wow!!! Awesome!!!

We knew going into it that since we had a custom wider radiator built for the car, and we moved the radiator forward to gain extra room, the stock hideaway headlights would not fit. The original headlight doors would pivot 90 degrees and sit beside the headlights when open. We re-designed the headlight door to slide behind the grille now and be operated off of actuators. (I'll get better pics of the mechanism once the header panel is removed in the next day or two.

The original headlight door is on the bottom, the new version is on the top.

Now that is the way to lead the pack and be an innovator. Wait...I mean InNOVAtor!! No pun intended. LOL!!

Very cool mod on the headlight doors You guys always make these custom touches that look factory and you have to look twice to see the change. Great job:thumbsup:
Mike

Great idea. As always, great stuff RS!

Ya thats pretty cool! :thumbsup:

That's Bad A$$. :yes:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Edit...

I LOVE that frame.

Thing is going to be the best 69 on the planet!!

Hands down! The only thing in question now is......"THE UNIVERSE", :D

We have the headlight doors just about completed. All of the tracks, supports, and actuators are in place and working properly.

Headlight doors operating...

Someone please call a doctor. After seeing that video I'm about to faint.:faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: That is just too badass!!:hail: :hail:

Took the words out of my mouth. That is awesome.

Bitchin!!!!!

Did rs build the core support?

How are you going to latch the hood?:unibrow:

Good question. But, however it's done, I know it will be ingenious.:yes:

cool stuff:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

DJW - We did build the core support. We needed to move the radiator ahead and wanted to use a wider radiator than any of the aftermarket units allowed for.

Doom - This car doesn't have an original style hood latch. It uses hood pin latches so they will be mounted to the sides of the core support

Time for some updates: The custom intercooler arrived this week so we can now finish the plumbing for the turbo's.

The intercooler was mounted below the radiator and designed to fit perfectly between the frame rails.

The start of a custom overflow that we machined to fit inside the core support and stay out of sight.

Love the spot for the overflow canister. Great work guys.

Further work on the plumbing for the turbos and intercooler.

Fabbed up some fender braces to tie into the new core support. These will eventually tie into the custom radiators that will tuck in behind each headlight and cool the water and alcohol for the intercooler.

Incredible work!

I thought NRE was using mirror image turbos?



Jeff-

amazing workmanship and even more amazing is the imagination that goes into your builds!!!!!!:hail: :thumbsup: :cheers:

X2 :bow:

That is sweet looking nice work!

Thanks! I believe they are using matching turbo's now. This car was originally built before they were available.

Wow. Awesome stuff guys. You guys are hitting it out of the park with your builds.

Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

A couple more shots of everything coming together.

Very impressive to see how fast you guys turn around Turn Key Cars.

I look forward to watching all of your builds

Thanks Marty. We like to keep things moving over here. We have a great team of guys to make it all possible.
