Looking great so far. It doesn't look like you're filling the corner/crevasse between the scoop and hood... why?

It will be caulked with a body seam sealer. Getting closer to that point.

Did a test fit with the new air cleaner. The steel hood is still on it so I couldn't close it the hole is to small. I bought a 16" aluminum pizza pan and cut a 12" hole in it. Then I screwed it to the bottom of the base so the screws are under the seal of the filter. Then I put a seal around it. I will also put the same type of seal around the hole in the hood so the two mate together.

Put some ppg high build primer over the bodywork and seam. I applied it with a foam roller for good build up. Then I will block it down and reprime it.
