you decide on how you want to do the tower deletes? weld or bolt in?

Cant decide on mine. part of me says: weld it, and make them look clean and flush.

Other part says: bolt them in. so once i go mod motor , i can remove panels to get to difficult bolts etc.

I decided to bolt them in. I figured it couldn't hurt to have another access panel.

Looks great Matt. I like it better with the coil covers. Maybe because of the blue? Either way, looks great.
Love the Boss intake.:thumbsup:

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words!

Since the last update I've been busy fitting the transmission, which has led me to cut up all kinds of stuff. I started out trying to make a transmission tunnel, and then realized I needed to have the trans crossmember in to make sure it all fits, but then I realized I couldn't do that until I made sure that the transmission tunnel cleared the seats so I had to put the seats in and those wouldn't fit without a little clearance(ing) and making custom mounting brackets and modifications to the seat pans. What was I trying to accomplish again? :hairpullout:

Oh and I got a box of parts from the Ring Brothers, they make top notch stuff for sure!
