Sweet project....looks like something I would want to do when I retire. Make sure you don't leave any beer bottles in weird places.

Awesome skills, and awesome buildup. Dont want to be nit-picky but shouldn't you have welded the front support beams on before cutting the radiator support in half... you might have to get the frame aligned now that you did do it that way.

Man that's kick ***. Are you going to paint/coat the intake mani at all? It's badass but it would look good in black or polished(who the **** has time).

It's all looking sick though. I want to see how you attach the IC and IM though. **** on you for no DP pictures.
