I'm really digging this build. I was wondering on the thread title too. <akes sense. I'm glad to see you have the large rear window. Having the small one would of looked weird IMO Did you paint the frame of powder coat it?
I put this on the EFI and super charger section but thought I would try here also. I am trying to build a custom air intake/airfilter but cannot meet the specs that GM lays out for the MAF location. They want straight 4" pipe 6"(min) long with the MAF in the center and 10" away from the throttle body. With my intake the most I could get is 2" before the MAF of straight pipe and 1" after, but packages very nicely. I am pretty close to 10" away from the throttle body. I could just pipe down the front of the engine and exceed their specs but it would not be as cool. How critical is it? Deal breaker?

My experience with it is on the LS3 I put in my wifes FJ40. Using a blade type MAF, I was trying to take advantage of an open area to locate it in but got too close to the elbow (about 4"...). It would start fine but not idle...unless you unplugged the MAF.
It definitely needs at least the 6" of straight air BEFORE the MAF...not sure how critical it is after.
