General Lee was a 1969.... that's a '68 r/t with a 440ci in the garage same color though!! And I'm sure it'll take a ramp just the same!!....

Thanks guys!

the car looks great i agree....i just think a cheap wing brings the quality of a ride down...ranks up there with the hood scoops people put on there cars that are fully sealed

Plactic hood scoops are fake.... the spoiler is fully adjustable, but it's a matter of preference... The blue 7 looks weird without the wing.

EXAMPLE

Evil_motors, your question about the intercooler getting damaged, the car has full coilovers front and rear, so height can be adjusted. I have the ISCracing.net front skirt (looks like the mazdatrix one) still to be put on. Good thing I didn't put one on cuz during testing one of the IC pipes BLEW OFF under boost, it would have damaged the bumper.

Perfect circle... thanks again and I replied to you IC question back on my other picture post, any luck on your decision?

Rest of the guys.... Thanks for the complements.

I hope to put up some engine bay pictures up soon...

as for the fuel cell question.... That was alot of work!! Especially to retain the low level light. Unfortunately it is very hard to use the stock filler location.... as you can see it must be filled between the lights in the rear.

The spare tire well was removed and 3 metal braces where bolted in and 2 straps were made for the tank. Plus a cover needed to be made to seal the rear with an access door to get to the fuel filter.... which can be seen in the first picture post I made a few days ago.

www.bicknellracingproducts.com is where I got the fuel cell, it is the 15 gallon model

we also used exhaust wrap on the exhaust near the tank and made some heat shields to further keep the heat away from the cell.

I'm not using the spare tire well anyway so I can cut that out and weld in a flat plate for the base plus my exhaust comes out the side so thats one less thing back there to deal with. My car is going to be for autox type stuff and not for the street. My only big thing is going to be to figure what one the sender is since the cells I'm looking at come with them.

Timmya2... yeah thats the one! Thanks!

Racintang... we used the stock sender with the fuel cell, it was modified to fit the shallow tank. and the low level light works aswell.

FBII... I'll get back to you on the turbo, It's my brothers and I know nothing about turbos' and spec's on the thing. You might be able to read the part number in the turbo.
