Bob aka "Diboblo" working his magic again. When it comes to electrical and lighting I always want Bob working on my car. Amazing work and always willing to add to this build. I truly couldn't have taken it this far without sponsors and the help from the community.

I ended up removing the 3G Kustomz Firewall cover and the factory brace. I really look forward to having some steering response back.

Some more random shots from the Retrofit Source photoshoot. It's naturally very lighting oriented since that is what their company specializes in.

So I did a wiper delete by removing the entire assembly and removed the front cowl etc to make it easy to remove the strut bar and test fit the firewall cover.

I took the firewall to my exhaust guy who didn't charge me a dime to trim the firewall really quick. Cool dude! I just needed a small section trimmed to help it clear the bracket on the backside of the strut bar that was there to hold the wiper motor. I ended up drilling some holes and then put some self tapping screws in the strut bar to hold the firewall cover in place.

The holes etc are a bit too trimmed considering it site a lot further back but it looks okay in photos. I also trimmed off most of the rubber off of the front cowl since certain areas were torn anyways.

That's a very well crafted 4pt strut bar! Do you even have enough clearance to slide a credit card in between??! Lol

Thanks. It was a bit too right and rubbing the top of the manifold when driven since I'm running manifold spacers. Once I get the heads port matched it won't be an issue. I put down some washers for now.

Thanks to Hemissary, another pair of Q45 projectors arrived after customs decided to sit on their *** for close to a week lol. I'm hoping that Essential Lites, The Retrofit Source, and I can figure out what to do with them and get it completed prior to Spring Fest.

I was so glad that we moved. Leaving my car in the open like that had me paranoid.

I'll definitely post more pics. I truly can't wait to boost this thing. I just want to do everything as right as possible. Especially with fuel delivery.

So the car is being shutdown until Spring Fest 9. Some cool changes will be coming to bring attention to other parts of the car. Look forward to seeing everyone.

The boost is more about fully enjoying the v8 experience. Further down the road I wouldn't mine making a few passes in it. That's why I'm beefing up the Drivetrain and going with a full fuel system vs. The band and boost a pump.

I still need a valve body upgrade, fuel hat, pumps, fuel line etc. Step by step.
