Very nice craftmanship.. Is your car going to be a show car, race er, or driver ? project looking good.

That will be a SOB since the wiper cowl snaps under the windshield trim and scratching it will be unavoidable. I like the idea, but would rethink on how it will be accessed.

As well as the wiper arms will have to be removed

Just a thought. Maybe he could use some of the clear film like Bad Penny has on the side of her just to protect the part that slides under the chrome? one piece on the stainless and one on the painted surface, if there's room.

Hey John I definitely like where you mounted the reservoirs too. If you want to keep them there (you already put a lot of work into it) maybe you can modify a portion of the cowl panel for a removable section or hinged piece so you don't have to remove the whole thing every time.

I do agree with what the others are saying too though, because I actually fuss with my reservoirs a lot. Topping off fluids, checking fluid levels between track sessions, etc...it pays off to have them really accessible. Plus, I have spilled a bit of brake fluid here and there and I'd hate the feeling of spilling some fluid down into the abyss of the cowl area.

EDIT: I should also mention that when the hood is up, that area is kind of a pinch point especially if you're doing a cowl hood....could be tricky to access for funnels, refilling, etc.

Your project is so dope!

..... I can always use the clear bra stuff if I need to on the cowl if it will get scratched.

There are no windshield wipers in the car so Im not worried about it clearing those. Thats why man invented RainX. I don't plan on driving it in the rain anyways. The holes where the wipers go will have caps put in them.

To me the "WOW" factor is worth more than the extra time it will be to access my reservoirs. You rarely see under dash units on first gen camaros and I wanted to be different. When Im at a carshow people will be wondering where my brake/clutch stuff is. It will be a conversation starter

I like the reservoir concept. Possibly make the grille section with finger/slot mount on the drivers side with a neodymium magnetic latch on the inboard side? The car is looking good John.

Sorry guys I haven't been updating in a while. We had another baby girl and I am in the process of opening another store so life has been a little crazy lately. I do have pictures of the AAW rear mount that Absolute Customs made and a pic of the dash that WCAC is upholstering. Turbo parts are here but I may sell those to help free up some cash flow for the third store Im opening.

congratulations on the birth of your baby girl.
