yup..well...i made the template and went over to buddies chassic shop and he has the materials.

for anyone that has fab stuff even the littlest project can balloon and take a good deal of time.
in that pic i had to cut and mod the fog light so that its forward 2" then i also had to make bracket for the catch can. and all had to be in a very specific area.

The sheet metal sloping up channeling air towards oil cooler is very nice touch, especially with the vent/screens behind the cooler allowing max ventilation

looks good, any kind of custom fabrication takes quite a bit of time and all that work looks like a pita. Nice clean install

Well it won't help with time travel... but looks like a peak and hold or high impedance to low impedance driver box (fuel injector driver to allow low impedance high flow injectors to work with stock PCM).

Tin man hmnn where is Dorothy .

Nick looks great as usual... as mentioned before a monster in the making.

If RPM is offering stock or shares I'd personally buy in because you'll be trashing 4L60's like most go through tires.

I like the air dam or scoop should do the trick.

My knuckles are so busted up after helping a friend out... wrenching is fun but the blood stains or trails can suck.
