Thanks guy! I appreciate the compliments!

Lead,
Those are LS2 manifolds from a C6 corvette. The drivers side is a tight fit with a steering box and power brakes. I ended up having to change from a vacuum booster to a hydraulic booster to give myself a little more room for the flipped manifolds. I was just barely able to squeeze the 3" down pipe in there.

Welcome.

Nice spoiler. How many hours do you have in the spoiler?

Thanks Ron! I probably have about 30 hours into the spoiler....and it's only tacked together! Maybe I'm just slow. I'm gonna TIG the rest of it to try and minimize grinding/metal finishing.

Whatever you do, don't ask how long it took me to get the repro fenders to fit the grille correctly!

Love the front spoiler too!

Did you ever tought about making the whole lower front end (to include each fender extension, lower valance and your spoiler) a one piece ''Bolt-in'' deal?

It would be super easy to remove after that and could even be made to be fixed with Dzus fasteners or something as cool and would give you an easy access to your hardware (turbos, piping, intercooler and whatever we usually mount behind that hard to access area).... Just a tought, it could all be welded and smoothed together for a super sano look...

You could even make a fast mold of it and make some for re sale if you wanted to make a few bucks and pay for your invested time. You know they would sell...but then you would not be the only one with it, but you'd have the fattest pockets lol!! With ''Lightweight'' parts all the rage right now, timing is right on!!!

Its nice!

Lead.

And thanks for the heads up on the manifolds.
