Well being I have a little time off here are some more updates from DMC.
Yes this thing has taken way longer then thought but I'm happy to say we are getting close. Just finishing some engine compartment stuff then it will be painted and start going back together to be wired. Here are some new pictures.
First was to finish up the dog box area for the intake. As you can see it came out nice and clean and allows for good room inside the box area.
Next was the strut tower braces. Being that most of the metal around was removed we needed to tie the towers back into the main chassis. This would also allow us to make tabs off the uprights to tie the engine plate directly to the chassis.
Prep work is key being that most of the stuff is Tig welded in
Time to test fit the tube
Get a tight clean fit so it welds up nice
Now weld it in place
Now I really can't stand the look of Bull Horns so Dennis and the DMC guys are taking every step they can to try and hide most of the pipe. What we plan on doing is sinking the exhaust into the rocker area allowing the second half of the radius stick out from the fender. This should help clean it up quite a bit so you will only see half the bend. Here it what it took to do it.
Stock Rocker
Cut away the rocker & some metal prep
It was cut to fit a 5" tube for future just in case this thing get's twins at some point
Getting it filled back in
Some engine bay shots
I head out next week for a trip over seas but I hope to be able to post some more pictures by Monday. Thanks

So I some guy asked today if I would sell the car. That is it. Far from what has been written on other boards. That was a good read though.
My reply was to make a offer and don't low ball it. LOL
I have a few more pictures to post but I'm on the road and only have my phone so I can't do it until I get back next week.
Thanks guys.
