Putting the front end together so we can start mocking up the turbo kit

The radiator support is custom and from AutoRad. It's pretty awesome stuff! Built in radiator and trans cooler as well. The intercooler will go in front and it appears that we have plenty of room for it!

Please excuse the dust...it is a body shop after all :p

Remember those custom inner fenders that Bob was working on? Well they turned out absolutely amazing!

That's all for now, but we should have the steering column, intake and valve covers in tomorrow!

This is how it sits today. I really can't say enough about the awesome job American Body works has done thus far. This much progress with this quality of work is amazing, especially with this type of timeline! What an awesome crew. Same thing can be said for every vendor I've dealt with. Having built a bunch of different cars, I'm shocked at how nice everything is on this thing!!! Precision metal craft, Precision turbo, North Texas Converter, Auto Rad, Ricks tanks, Roadster shop, Wilwood, Penske, Stainless Works. I mean everything just rocks.

Nice build! Really glad to see you keeping a stock paint scheme. I think these trucks look classy in their factory two tone layout.

We love the stock color lay out, we just tweaked it a bit. Viper GTS blue with course flake and work truck white.

Thanks Will!
