Just Got Carried Away with the Family Project

That first movement under its own power is always a special event.

It's almost like a birth but without the pain! (short video below)

Managed to squeeze it out of its birthplace for the first time today.

A few more parts need to be installed but it is pretty much all there. Next move will be to see the fine doctor (aka Phil)

X2 it would have been tough for me to cut that lid up the non WS6 lower isn't going to hurt your car in any way.

Yea, I was going to put my old lower on there, but it would have defeated the look that I'm try to get through the "snout" openings in the hood. I made the openings large enough to fit the WS6 lower box.

Plus, to make the old lower box look like the one I have reworked would have required more work than I'm doing on the lid.








Fit, now to make it look like something.

I think I would have gone out and got a Trans Am or Z28 lower airbox but I guess thats 1 way of doing it!

Looks awesome love seeing these updates

[Gregs_gsxr]

Love what your doing...keep the progress coming Jim!

[sman]

Holy progress! I really need to do some updating in my interior. Thats by far the biggest issue with my car. It just doesnt feel quality.

[jetice]

That sucks to hear, Jim. How much taller is it than a stock or slp lid?

BTW, that hood looks sick on there

[BlackBirdDaddy]

Went and installed the hood the other day and the hood inner is crashing hard on the FTP air lid!!!


After mumbling a few choice words and cooling down for a day, I knew that I had to section and re-sculpt the lid. It is such a shame that I bought the lid for $149 and no mention that it would crash.


Oh well, I will just to do what I have to do to make it work.

[BlackBirdDaddy]

Looks great Jim....geez 5months to paint a hood?

I didn't know Virginia Speed did body work too

That's what I get for telling him to "take your time."

Are you gonna get buried in this thing? I wouldn't want to put all this effort into the car and not be able to keep it when I kick the bucket.
