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.

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?

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