We mounted the turbos and made the custom stainless steel headers. We knotched the frame to make room for the headers to flow forward to the turbos. We also lowered the radiator so that the intake pipes from the intercoolers to the intake will come straight up from the nose and directly to the intake – some trick fabricating going on right now.

The roll cage is in and the body has been primed and blocked. You can see how the exhaust tucks under the rear of the car just ahead of the gas tank. We cut the trunk pan to create a tunnel for the exhaust to come up and drop down on the back side of the tank. We will place heat shield in this entire area.

The center console is complete and we will be smoothing and painting this week. I ordered three individual Stack gauges for the console Boost, Air/Fuel and Exhaust Temp. The car will also be painted on Wed. Rather than just black, I decided to go with a pearl black that includes a subtle flake. With these body lines, it is good opportunity to show them off and the flake will pick up the light necessary to do that. We will paint a metallic gunmetal stripe down the middle that will be cropped with a metallic pearl stripe.

The closeout panels will be made on Tuesday just before paint. The wheels should be in this week as well. Final assembly will start on Friday. We have a few surprises on the interior and engine so stay tuned. . .
