body work in the engine bay, after paint everything looks really wavy and stuff

I don't think excessive tucking, shaving, and shit is really necessary, if I was to do stuff like that I woulda just tubbed the front instead

oh.... idk, i just wanted to do it cuz i had the oppertunity. i left the factory lines and cuirves and stuff. i didnt bother filling ne dents in either, just the holes. the holes for intercooler piping will be covered w/ some sort of mirrored sheet metal if i can find somethin.

i drilled out a hole behind the head in the firewall then wrapped the harness w/ Painless nylon braided loom then taped it up for extra protection. im waiting on more stainless lines for my ps, brakes, and clutch. it might be a week or 2 b4 i do nething else drastic, im tryin to source some wheels. im lookin for some vskf's for a good price. found some on nico for 2600 but they were sold. a lil high for me but worth it.

My CAS wires are extended and wrapped around the back of the block, go way around any hot spots and pop back up on the side of the block. It's a PITA but worth it if you really want to strive for clean.
