    Looking good man. I put my ignition in my glove box. It makes getting to it a lot easier if there are any problems.

    Real awesome work man :2thumbs:
    Could you tell me about all the bracing you did under the hood i see in your pics you added two pieces of steel to each rail. Did you make those or buy them some were and what size are they.

    Thanks,
    Drew

    its just sheetmetal bent to fit with a press. just start off with a piece of cardboard and make a template or just measure it out. pretty easy. just line it up with the flat part where the battery sits and then bend it to make it look flush above where the swar bar is. after that i tack welded it all the way across and grinded the welds down. after that, fill it in with filler and sand it smooth. i used seem sealer too where the sheetmetal overlaps the struts towers and where it butts against the strut towers. timing consuming but well worth it when its done. but be prepared to do alot of sanding and reapplying filler. it took alot of coats to get it smooth all the way across. sanding was the biggest PITA.

    Nice build man.
    Those twins look good....i wish i would have stuck with my original decision and gone with twins.
    I ended up going with a ponydown single , maybe ill upgrade in the future.

    Nice work.

    Should the holes in the head gasket be in the back of the block?

    the turbo placement sure doesnt leave much room for air filters or any sort of inlet tubing. looks like they point right at the radiator

    also id mount the ignition stuff inside the car, kind of looks out of place so to speak there on the firewall like that

    btw what kind of carb hat is that? looks like some sort of UFO! :D


    looks like a really nice set up
