we tried to fit aftermarket fenders and they weren't even close so we scored a set of NOS locally and the fit way better. the hood is from Anvil

AND back apart for underside prephttp://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps198cd385.jpg

We went with Eddie Motorsports rear hinges and moved them in to clear the DSE tubs.

The car is going to look pretty sedate on the outside but the inside will look more industrial meets vintage Italian racing. That's what happens when you have a Ferrari shop across the parking lot:idea: here's the trunk

Peterson, Thompson Automotive, Hector at Rick's and Carl at Vaporworx put in lots of advise getting this LS9 to play well. Here is the Dry Sump location

And the custom firewall that the previous build put in was removed to build something that matched the amazing DSE inner fenders

We welded up the stock cowl vents but it didn't look right. So Rushforth and I fought over a better design. I thought a nice trim ring with mesh flush mounted would look good. He thought we should split it into two. so here ya go

once it is all bolted down the trim will be polished and sitting flush
Josh Ewing came though in a pinch again with some amazing metal work

Once again we will be parked in the Dynomax / Rancho booth located inside the Central building in Hot Rod Alley up against the back wall.
