I LOVE the amount of creativity going into this build:thumbsup: Fantastic job!!!

Thanks!!! A bit more progress. I built a new core support which gives me a bigger opening for a radiator.

Now using dual fans from a 2010 F150. One 15in fan and one 14.5in fan and they flow a ton of air.

Air filters will be behind the headlights.

Also received my pistons from CP. Could have used a shelf piston but I specifically wanted a spherical dish with no valve reliefs.

wow very inspirational for sure. I love the it gets done when it gets done attitude! and just keep focusing the details love the symmetrical look with non symmetrical turbos and the air cleaner just further enhances the details..keep up the great work and we will keep following!

Thanks, I appreciate it! The air to air intercooler setup with the induction tube coming from one side was bugging the hell out of me. Just that was the inspiration for changing the induction.

Didn't get much done this weekend, where does the time go.

Modded the inner fenders to match the RS front suspension-

I decided some time ago that I didn't like the trunk floor. I previously removed the spare tire well and filled it but the entire panel was a bit floppy with no factory gas tank supporting it, plus it wasn't symmetrical.

This is a big panel and making it was a bit more challenging than I expected. I made about 5 of these things and this is the only one that didn't end up in the dumpster.

I also made hat channels on the mag brake for some extra support.

Before and after-

Looks fantastic! Any chance you've gotten your new wheels back from chrome yet?

Absolutely love this build.

The other one still wouldn't flatten out? :welder: This looks good, too.

I love it when OCD personalities build a car! It makes me feel "normal"!!!
