Well been lil busy but was able to hook up old fuel line (to 2nd stage fuel noid) to start and pull out of garage (making new one waiting on fitting) heres better pics of the new intake and the brackets.just pulled off front end to paint (and smooth out) radiator support so hope to have back on road in about a month. Going to try to make fiberglass piece for "hoodlatch area" like I've seen for 5th gen camaros have seen stainless steel ones for it but all have cut out for windshield washer and I don't need one where they have it.(was easier to relocate washer tank and use area for trans cooler)Thanks for looking!!!

Well trying to get back on road so trying to stay off sites to get work done but since I'm taking day off for the holiday (and hope you all enjoy yours!!)heres pic of progress and have question on front cover I'm making. I like stainless ones but wanted to cover more area and I have relocated washer tank for trans cooler w/fan and all had tank area cut out so was thinking of painting black (maybe stock look?) but wonder about red to blend in? Thanks for looking and hope to get back on road by next month!!and hope pics work this time sorry hadn't been on to see last didn't.new pic noid.JPGnew pic 1.JPG

I've always liked your car everything is well done and your attention to detail is second to none, but in all honesty its getting to be too much on the exterior and now heading toward gaudy. Please don't take this as anything more than my opinion, its your car and if your happy then nothing else matters.

[01badbird]

not a problem always appreciate advice and yours is up at top of list !! I know its a fine line and after winning at meet & greet was lil bummed that didn't make car of month (runner up tho) and was getting looked over and was called a sleeper in a write up.Just trying to get noticed, also hood vents for show had extra pair so cut out center for track (mo air) everyone goes black on the red so lil twist .When doing thought how much gold on Bandit TA and not nowhere near as much but heres side also just hope that somethings can be overlooked not to take away from whole car.Before people was surprised when hood opened now they look at outside and wonder whats under.Hope you find something you like on it and thanks for looking!!!Think it will be better once blower is sticking out hood !!!!!!
