Well...After several hours of filling, sanding, cutting, welding, filling, primering (is that a word? ) sanding, the bay is finally ready for color.
As some of you know, the cars engine bay has gone through a bit of a transformation, this winter. What started out to be a simple intake swap, quickly changed to another direction. The list of mods grew twenty-fold, in quite a hurry. Here's the list:

(Engine Bay only)

-PP (Hand) Polished intakes
-Accufab 65mm TB and EGR spacer
-AFM Power Pipe (n/a)
-new 19lb injectors
-billet aluminum PS pulley
-billet aluminum wire dividers
-MSD billet distributor
-Aeromotive FPR
-Taylor (teal) wires
-FRPP chrome water neck
-HOWE Racing aluminum rad
-Custom Brake Fluid Resevoir cover
-BBK polished CC plates

Other mods:

-Custom ebroidered floor mats
-FRPP aluminum DS
-Custom DS safety loop
-SCT chip (to be tuned once it's driveable )
-KVR slotted rotors
-New NX nitrous solenoids`
-smooth wiper cowl panel
-weather strip seal (doors and trunk...Unnecesary. But did it anyway )

In doing some of the engine bay mods, I've had to remove the strut tower brace, fill the mounting holes, create a filler plate for the stock induction hole, as the Power Pipe now goes through the fender by way of the 3-4" hole in front of the strut tower.
I have no pics to post as of yet. However, I'll more than likely have a book to post, in a bit. By Mid week, I hope to have enough progress to show it off.

Here....I'll beat everyone to it.



I know......I know. I've had 3 PM's in the last week asking about progress. Well...This is where I'm at.

~Jeff

Hole cutting was a breeze. Thanks. Just had to find out the simplest way of doing it. I unded up using a rotary cutting bit.

Well at the time I didn't know the car belonged to a fellow stang-netter. . I had the red GT about two/three cars down to your left if you remember, had draglites on it. If I make it this year I'll be sure to say hi and check out this new engine bay.
