Really cool build! You're doing a great job.

Thanks, I do my best :) , I would like to do the same works as the famous builders/shops we see on this forum, but I don't have the same budget and tooling...

You did a great job as well on your car !

I have OZ wheels from a BMW on my El Camino, they fit nicely...

Thanks,:thumbsup:

It makes me happy to have some congratulations, as building a car oversea is not easy as a local build....

The air filter will move behind the funnel to avoid the heat of the header....

I cut a plate and drill two holes to receive the shift lights

Misalignement problem with my PYPES X pipe and the rest of the Flowmaster exhaust system... I need to order some "S" bend pipes to raise the mufflers to the right level....

Just a thought, have you considered re-clocking the blower to have the discharge point down and then route it forward under the blower? I don't know if you have room but it would make for a cleaner looking install.

There is no "off the shelf" blower kit for Buick engines like for Chevys, this positionning is the more easy to install and there is no room under it (steering box).
It is the same routing as many kits and making it more clean is useless as the rest is not so clean :lol: :rofl:
Anyway, thanks for the idea....
