Sorry for the lack of updates. Ok this is going to be long since its been a while since I've updated this. I'm just gonna touch on everything kinda quick since the pics are worth a thousand words.
Looks like last update I had mounted the ABS. After that I built a washer reservoir and used it to mount the supercharger cooler pump.
I fabricated a fuel fill pipe to connect the filler to the tank thats behind the drivers seat.
Then I moved onto the frame work for the rear package tray delete panel/waterfall, sanded everything down and shot it in black epoxy.
Which led to the waterfall being fabricated out of .040 aluminum, The plan is for this to be carped on the lower section and leather on the upper section with a 12" sub in the middle. Also a start of the rear side panels.
A quick little fuse bank holder next to the battery to hold the Mega fuses that power my Infinity Box system.
Some body and paint work on the firewall to get that moving in the right direction as well as the supercharger lid and cover. I'm a big fan of this red and black color combo that will be against a matte black engine bay and the metallic blue the car will be.
The engine has been mostly assembled and I welded AN fittings to the valve covers and bigger fittings on the breather tank.
Around this time I started to work on the side skirts and get them ready to make molds from.
I also took the car to a local car show. Turns out I wasn't the only trailed car there.

I've been messing with the wider body up front to clear the wheels. I used foam as a base then fiberglass to get a little more solid and shaped it with body filler. After all this is final I'll prime and paint it, wet sand, then buff to a high shine so I can make a mold off it then make a carbon fiber panel to replace everything with.
I've also finished up my C6 door latch swap and trimmed the under side of the hood so I could get to the secondary latch when I pop the hood. That will all be repaired with carbon and body worked so it looks like it came that way.

I mounted up the heat exchanger, oil cooler, and power steering cooler. Unless I had a stock one side by side you'd never be able to tell all the work I did on the header panel support to keep it looking factory while clearing the tilted forward radiator, mounting the power steering cooler to it, and raising up the mount to fit the Porsche hood latch. Oh, and dimple die holes for some weight savings.
Some modern magic with this rev match module so I don't have to heel/toe all the time when down shifting. Perfect spot in the center console for it and out of site.
The last of the update brings us to some grille block off panels. Since the goal is to keep as much needless air as I can from going into the engine bay I made up these block off panels for the grille. I made them out of .040 aluminum to the size of the heat exchanger and oil cooler and duct them to the coolers. The center I left wide enough to blow onto the power steering cooler.
