Thanks bud. Im definitely happy with it so far. Getting this engine bay right just takes so much time. I'm in love with your car and your setup is my goal. I'll probably have some questions for you when I decide to go intercooled which may be soon enough. Kinda hard not to when I have guys like you and [MENTION=16230]98snakehorse[/MENTION] making me drool over yalls setups haha

this is tits legit dude, definitely wanting to see the finished product im sure the wire tuck is gonna look amazeballs
I admire these smoothed engine bays like you can't believe. They look sooooo good and I know I am way too lazy to take on that task.
It's time well spent man, it's gonna look killer! I hope one day to do mine, I'm sure it will be a ways down the road tho. Thanks man, I am all ears and will help in any way I can!

Hows the car coming along, haven't heard from you in awhile.
Getting ready to get things moving again. Took a little break due to getting married and also buying a truck a couple months ago. The truck has been taking up a lot of my "project time." Once I get moving again in the next couple weeks I'll be prepping the bay for its final bit of primer and I'm undecided on whether or not I should mock up the motor/blower/powerpipe....etc in the engine bay to make sure everything is right before paint
Been spending more time on the car lately. I've got the engine bay where I want it now. I'll be cleaning and getting ready to shoot the whole bay in primer next. Also got my hole cut for the power pipe.
Got the rest of the supercharger sent off to get polished and I'm also sending the accufab plenum and throttle body off to be mirror polished as well.
Here's some pics for the heck of it.

Small update. Been working on the car when I can. Basically just been collecting parts. Also, since I was going to need to paint the engine bay, front bumper, and trunk lid, I decided that I'm going to go ahead and do a full respray on the car. So I started to take the car apart in preparation for that.
Also went ahead and shaved all the holes in the trunk lid
And below are some pics of some of the parts I've collected. Mcleod clutch and flywheel, mmr victor jr adaptor plate and iac plate, and JBA headers
Painted the valve covers wrinkle black
And got the last few things back from the polisher

Couple progress pics of the car. Been spending all my time prepping for paint. I have a new passenger fender coming in because my old fender had some body work in it and I wanted a fresh one. Still need to get the hood and front bumper, then we should be ready to spray. Went ahead and picked up a new spray gun while I was at it. Devilbiss GPi

Looking good. Are you painting this the same color or are you going a different direction?
