My car building project now has just been a pleasure. The stress of my project is completely gone, so yes, the right person/builder makes all of the difference.

Ron, with the motor moved back as you noted, needed a remake of the fire wall which makes a great transition to my next set of pictures. That was almost like it was on cue.

Before we get to the firewall, we needed to do a little header fitment to make sure we were going to have room. These headers are from Jimmie Johnson's 48 car. They are made by Profab.

Since we moved the motor over about 1/2 inch and how wide these headers...a little frame notching was in order on the passenger side.

This is the driver's side. Needed the room for the steering shaft. May still need to alter a tube but it is looking good.

I think the ladies would really enjoy that. By then maybe even DG will have his car done. Good Ron says he's not going to come out unless we do Laguna but maybe this will entice him.

How are things looking on your end Payton?

That sucks balls having to cut all that work off and start over again.

At least its not funny car length anymore.

Do you need a CF intake box/lid - I have one from Carbotech or whatever company that made it - it has some damage to the back - but it is non painted and in raw CF.
