I just need longer days
Started the IC today. Making a front air dam to feed more air into the front. Made the lower radiator support about 3 inches shorter. Will gain about 60 sq inches for cooling.

Not as much as I would like!!!! I got the fiberglass done on the shroud. Got to do the finish work as I am having it sent off to be made out of CF if possible. Done a little work on the cold side. Just have a long list of parts to buy.

Thanks Pat!! Wish I could do what you can.
Started with cardboard for fitting and then fiberglassed it along with body filler. Primed a couple times and will be sent to flasunshine to be made out of Carbon Fiber. Thats the only part I need to install the motor other than coatings on the pipes and wiring harness. Which I will be calling Jared this week to figure out what I am going to do. But before the engine goes in, brakes, big tires and wheels along with some serious suspension mods will have to happen.

Finally got the motor off the stand and sent the hot side off to be coated. Installed the FW and the clutch. There is enuff room for the LS7 clutch but not for a fork. So a hyd throw out bearing will have to be found. This also gives me more room for down pipe. Been wanting to make it 3 1/2 or 4" so I may have room now.
