looks great. I plan on welding all of the extra holes shut in my bay once I am done with the T2 and haltech install.

Where are your winsheild wipers? There are just some things in that bay that are missing that I think are needed for a normal driving car.

What about your CPU wires for the headlights and what not????

Won't that huge hole compromise the structual rigidity of the unibody? Or are you planning on fixing it?

Funny how no one has mentioned the intake manifold...

Nice intake. What throttle body is that? I can't tell from the picture, but did you move your primaries from their stock location as well?

im going to fix the 2 holes when i make the new turbo kit and intercooler pipe.
the strut bar is just missing in the old pics.
the intake manifold is a 5in with a ls1 throttle body.
the headlight wires are in the fenderwell

I made a typo earlier. What I mean was where is the motor for your winshield wipers. You need to do a write up on how to hide everything in the engine bay

I don't think you'd want to drive that car in the rain anyways, very nice work!

Beautiful work, very street rod in style.

I thought that throttle body looked familiar...

Did you run your headlight/turn signal/etc. wires in the frame? I've been contemplating that for mine.
