We got the Griffin Rad and intercooler into the engine bay to check fitment and clearence. They just need a little tweeking on the intercooler inlet so it should be in for good shortly. We also got the Vanco Hydroboost mounted to the firewall. Tomorrow we can measure the rest of the plumbing components to get them ordered. The hard top will go on tomorrow & the cage getting welded up. I have another 30 some laser parts coming for various pieces including shock mounts, transmission mount, & skid plate.

So last night we got the chance to place the top on to get a feel for what this is really going to look like. I feel like with the roof in place it looks much more proportional. The bottom picture shows the gasket used to seal the top around the cage. The cage will be getting fully welded today or tomorrow so we're getting most of the loose ends tied up while we wait for the laser cutters. About the motor, there was lots of concern from people wondering if we're going to dress it up. The engine that is in it now is the engine that will be used. It will be painted and cleaned up but as far as billit or chrome we have no plans at this point for any of that, we feel it won't suit the build.

Here's a shot with the tire mounted on the top of the rack. We also got some laser parts today & the transmission crossmember with integrated driveshaft loop is in place now. Not quite complete, but close. The belly skid will be integrated into this. We're still waiting on the custom manifold to mount the turbos and a few more laser cut brackets before we can get this thing moving under it's own power.
