A little update from me :)
 

Been busy the last 2 days, getting ready to paint my firewall, and man it looks like im parting the car out, as much stuff Ive taken off :)

Well A/C is history, my IC is thicker than hell and probally wont have room for it with the AC there :( , I mounted the oil cooler and working with placement on the IC. I had it mounted once but I had the AC stuff in the way and it was kinda crooked so anyways heres some pics :)

Another one :)

Oil cooler mounting :)

Let me know if this placement looks ok?

Homemade blocking plates :) I really suck in the custom fabrication department so bear with me :)

are you going to try to mount the ic in front? i guess you could tilt it forward depending on the size. i can't wait to see this monstrosity this weekend.

by the way, i have access to the plasma torch here. if you want i'll bring in my calipers, etc and draw up that opening and have it cut with the torch.

what color u paintin the fw , Im going with high gloss black with blue accents

oil cooler loos great (how are you mounting custom mounts?)

keep us informed

My grand dad has a plasma cutter , thanks tho :)

Im gonna paint this thing before I mount anything up there... Thats the big next step and sanding is a pain in the ass!!!! :( I hate it ...

From this angle, it looks great.

I made the mounts outta just flat weldable steel you get from lowes, it was 3/4" wide and about 4 feet long, just cut and bend the way you need it :)

Its a shame I cant work on the car today, I got a 95 Lincoln Mark VIII in the garage now, its getting a Viper Alarm/Remote start, excelon cd player, 5 band kenwood EQ, 2 Excelon amps, 6 speakers in the factory location, a 10 disc changer, and got to build a box for 2 15 JL w3's :( So Im gonna be busy rest the day and half the nite :(

By the way, the FW will be painted yucky old Tender Blue Mettalic :( I think on the car tho Im gonna add some silver or blue pearl to it then maybe I will like it... Everyone knows Im not a fan of tender blue :(

Thanks for the compliment but I still suck at it, and see the OLE mikey trademark? HINT: Hylomar :) I love that shit, too bad they dont make twizzler's in that color :)

Must be nice to have the knowledge to install all that and still done by the end of the day.;)

Well about 10 to 11 hour job, and I get $500 cash :)

So its worth it.. I have to work fast Im the only installer our store has. So I got to be FAAAASSSSTTT.

Well anyways, Im done eating, its time to go back to work. See you guys tonite :)

haha, need a sidekick?

That monster is beautiful....man, I wish I could afford one...:(

Mike, it is looking good. Give yourself some needed credit. You are doing a great job.

I just thought about it and you know what? With you having a Mark VIII at your house with your RX-7's, you just about duplicate my fleet!!:D

Weird wild stuff.

On a side note, so much for my plan to meet you, Jeremy, and V8kilr this weekend. Boss sprung working on Saturday on me, so now I am off today (Thursday). Not enough time to go to Eddyville, come back to Owensboro, and then race in Indiana. Guess I will have to just autox in Lexington on Sunday, and hope to catch everyone next time.

Later,
James

I got a 2003 surburban now, Im doing 2 mono block alpine amps, 2 audiobahn 18"s, 3 tvs (1 in the overhead aftermarket console), DVD w/navigation, 4ch alpine amp, seperates front and rear.
