PWN pg 7... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
QUOTE(plymouth37 @ Jun 10 2008, 03:19 PM)  I will be running a custom top mount intercooler, the new lid creates a ton of space for plumbing. Intercooler plumbing should be kept as short as possible so a front mount intercooler is really out of the question.. Latecomer to this thread, looking pretty cool! Saw this statement and it struck me. If you really *had* to get your airflow for the intercooler from the front, couldn't you install a front-mount radiator and circulate coolant to an air-water intercooler? That way the actual intercooler could mount wherever you had space, without concern for airflow...EDIT: D'oh, Mitchell, read the ENTIRE post. I shouda guessed that, as completely as you seem to have worked all this out, that you'd have considered and discarded that idea already. Oh well, looks hot, man.

Sorry guys, I am in the middle of building a 1000 sq foot deck and after a full days work on that I have no strength or patience left to work on the car.
I will finish the deck in a couple weeks and will then have the time and energy to get back to the car. Don't worry you will get your fix in a little bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

This is what sucks about living in the city. I don't even have tools I wish I could go out back and build a deck and do some welding in my garage. Oh well I will just sit at my computer.
I am jealous (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I do get to detail cars for money but it's not the same. |

Don't worry you will get your fix in a little bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I agree with some others... priorities man! I have had plans laid out for about 500sqft of deck that I have since reduced to about 320 sqft and I have still refused to start it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) too busy with the paint and projects on the car. That and they both cost too much money, so I pick the lesser of the evils... last time I checked I can't drive a deck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) and I don't think the HOA will let me paint a black cross on it either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

O.K. guys, the deck is DONE!
Here are a couple pictures of my huge deck, I think it turned out pretty well for being my first attempt at working with wood. And yes now that this monster is done work will resume on the anklebiter on monday! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) It will be so refreshing to get back to working on metal...     |

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a deck. Here's an idea... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Put a roof over it, some walls around it, install a lift, set up a ramp and you've got a second garage.
Maybe this will provide you with the extra garage space you need to complete your Anklebiter project... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) Eric |

Due to public outrage regarding my lack of progress I have decided to start working on the car again...
Today I started out by tack welding in backing panels for the windshield frame, I figure the more metal I can weld into this area the better.  I then clamped the windshield frame in place and took what felt like an hour to make sure it was where I wanted it. I intentionally left a gap between the frame and the cowl so I could get good penetration into the backing plates.  Then I welded and finished the area. After I buy the right sized hole saw I will drill into the back of the frame and weld its inner structure.  Here's how things are looking now.  You can put away your pitch forks and torches now.
