Wow!

Thanks for the props guys. We have some updated to do on the thread when we get a few minutes.

We are at the point were the project is most enjoyable. Most all fab is down and now we are just putting her together.

We received the trans back from RPM. They did their Stage 5 performance upgrade on it. We also replaced every bolt with ARP.

We also replaced the stock slave with RAM's through out bearing.

We also decided to replace the Mantic clutch with RPS twin disc carbon clutch. We have heard nothing but great things about this clutch. More expensive but worth it in the long run.

We added a little heat protection to the starter.

DC Powers made us this alternator to match the 8 lbs Braille battery. They made machined both end out of billet and we had them anodized gun metal gray before they put the unit together.

We used ll Much vapor canister for both the gas tank and the diff. We located on on each wheel well.

Here you can see the breather on the bottom side. Still need to connect the line to the tank in this picture.

Becuase we relocated the gas fill to the trunk, we had to come up with a solution for the vapor line, we used this slick valve that will close if the car were to flip upside down.

Had a bunch of interior parts painted to get rid of the plastic look.

Smoothed and painted the underside of the hood vent black.

There must be 100 hours into this hood vent! This will give you an idea what we start with. Each vent was slightly enlarged. We removed the 6 studs mounts as we are going to epoxy it onto the hood. Then it was time to smooth it. You just cant skim coat the part as the gray will show through on the to side. So had to build it with high build black primer and sand most of it off. This process was repeated four times before painting it black and cleared. The top side was given three coats of cleared followed by black candy and three more coats of clear. The end results is amazing but most wont know the amount of effort that has gone into just this one piece.

Painted the down bars black on the carbon fiber grille.

Couldn't leave the peddles unpainted.

Could get these powder coated as the rubber would melt, so we painted them to match the powder coating. We might not use them as we are making billet drop spindles and new front control arms.

This was like the fourth rending of the coil wires relocation bracket we made, LOL. Waiting on the ARP custom 12 point stainless bolts to replace those.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/tXsJpR.jpg

We used the factory brackets for the emergency brake lines for the trans cooler lines instead.

The diff bolts were replaced with ARP studs.

More ARP custom bolts. We drilled them for safety wire. Once we are done and know were not going to take anything apart again, we will wire them up.

Beautiful !

What brand of shielding are you using in the tunnel and on the starter?

Thanks guys!

Justin has been design a strut bar that will tie in the firewall to the strut tower. He 3-D printed them first before having them machined.

Camber plates with mount for strut bar. This was his first design rendition.

He wasnt happy with the first design, so he made a second rendition.

3D printed bracket that mounts to the firewall. He threaded the fire extinguisher nozzle to the center.
