Nice parts collection you have on this sexy car . I remember the Craigslist add when this car was for sale as a roller years back . What a clean car to start with
My turbo build

Sorry no progress, went to my buddies and helped him install his pro charger on his 2012 GT. Plan on doing some tomorrow. Need to get the mach ready for next weekend races....
I'm willing to sell now. Where do you live?

Been sanding,working with the machine shop with the block,drag racing the mach 1 and expecting our little girl any day now. So with that said and besides the fact im lazy....almost have the bay done. Need to sand a few more spots then prime and paint, then i will re-mock up the motor and get the wireing done.
I like the job you did cleaning up the aprons (?), if you have a link to instructions for that and the wiring cleanup, please share.
I want to do a similar job on my car. Maybe I haven't looked enough but I haven't found good DIY instructions.
I'm guessing your elbow didn't fit under your hood, that's a bummer.
Really tall cowls make it hard to sneak up on anyone.
I'm partial to big power under a flat hood, its too bad that's not an option for you.

Here is a link to the aprons http://scottrodfab.com/products.html. I just welded them in with little .020 mig wire. Really dont feel there is any instructions,mostly stright forward.. The TB is what is hitting on the hood, just might end up with using drop mounts.
