Speaking from my own experience(s), and given all the extra venting you've got going on in that hood, and fenders (way more than even I have installed) you may want to STRONGLY CONSIDER installing some hood pins on that beast.

Would hate to see you losing that hood down the track, or e-way, etc.

Particularly at the speeds you'll be achieving.

Looking impressive.

Today was the day I popped my cherry cutting the metal fenders. I got the passenger side cut up.

The boys who came over and convinced me to buy larger radius flares didn’t know they also talked themselves out of the job, what do I need them for at this point? I’ll have them paint match them Tuxedo Black. Need to make some fine trimming and then it’s rivnut time and black spike hardware lol! The rear door opens free and clear no need to modify the flare. And of course the cut areas will need some rust protection.

Has officially been "turn up, to, 11"

Dare I say a touch on the Mad Max side......

Now instead of a racing suit, you're gonna need to get an outfit like Mel Gibson's in the original 1979 film......

Best build in the community

All fenders are cut. Here’s the driver side

Man the fender thread is longer than BPD's rebuild thread... I don't know if I will see them come to a close in my lifetime.... and I just turned 50.

I won't even ask for dinner and a movie if you take me for a spin in it.

Bad@$$, and may be just me, but those flares look hot as h3!! in the mat black

Is that trunk lid weight reduction?

No, flow through ventilation there's no ac.

Trunk lid is getting close to being done in all CF. Two layers. Bolt up like stock. For me it’ll cost about twice as much if someone else wants one when they’re done. I had no choice but to pay for molds. So mine will be around 4K all said and done. But then I own the molds….although instead I’ll just get a tiny slice of the purchase price for each additional one(s) made instead.

 

[bpd1151]

I do like the flow through idea though.....

I mean shit...... while you're at it just add some venting into that lid.

I believe Ben is coming later today to start the exhaust. Today or tomorrow I should have the couplers I need to finish the front mount intakes. While waiting I decided to mount my Derale hi flow race oil cooler for the trans fluid. Just bought some aluminum angle from Lowes. Not 100% done

 

[802SHO]

No exhaust work yet, more intercooler work was done. Ben welded a straight piece on the tube to the throttle body, shortened the IC outlet section and bead rolled them. Then the intake couplers finally arrived. Ben made support brackets for the intake piping. He cut a scrap piece of 3” into halves and slotted them to make a custom pipe collar, so that they will be attached by running a clamp through the slots, so they are removable. And he used 2 more collars for the crash bar, welded chromoly to the crash bar collar to the pipe collar.
What are the odds the filters fit exactly between the 3 IC mounting collars?
Pretty sure we’re going to add 2” straight pipe to the intake pipe, raising them 2” higher but mocked up….this thing looks mean This project is taking on a life of its own, like artificial intelligence lol!

 

[FREAK_SHO]

Simply, amazing.
Last pic looks like the thing will eat you alive and not think twice about it- lol

 

[bpd1151]

Enjoyed the "artificial intelligence" comment. Ha!

So true though, so true.

Just cool to watch this project continuing to unfold.
