Okay. Thanks guys.

I've been messing with the wider body up front to clear the wheels. I used foam as a base then fiberglass to get a little more solid and shaped it with body filler. After all this is final I'll prime and paint it, wet sand, then buff to a high shine so I can make a mold off it then make a carbon fiber panel to replace everything with.

That will all be repaired with carbon and body worked so it looks like it came that way. <https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6323.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6316.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6305.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6315.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6306.md.jpg I mounted up the heat exchanger, oil cooler, and power steering cooler. Unless I had a stock one side by side you'd never be able to tell all the work I did on the header panel support to keep it looking factory while clearing the tilted forward radiator, mounting the power steering cooler to it, and raising up the mount to fit the Porsche hood latch. Oh, and dimple die holes for some weight savings. https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6760.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6762.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6759.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6761.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6397.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6679.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6398.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6395.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6396.md.jpg Some modern magic with this rev match module so I don't have to heel/toe all the time when down shifting. Perfect spot in the center console for it and out of site. https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6755.md.jpg The last of the update brings us to some grille block off panels. Since the goal is to keep as much needless air as I can from going into the engine bay I made up these block off panels for the grille. I made them out of .040 aluminum to the size of the heat exchanger and oil cooler and duct them to the coolers. The center I left wide enough to blow onto the power steering cooler. https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6783.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6784.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6782.md.jpg https://j.hmjimg.com/2022/07/14/IMG_6781.md.jpg |
