Got a lot done this weekend. First we started on the new radiator support. It came out really nice.













Test fitting the front end:







I also started on the body work. I messed up pretty much every body panel on the car this year so I had a lot of stuff to repair. I bought a new kit since both bumpers were trashed and the sides were pretty banged up too. They gave us the wrong rear bumper so we gotta wait on that. I was able to get most of the panels in primer, but there's still a lot of little shit to fix.









We picked up a set of fiberglass doors and started swapping parts over to them.



Since I'm shaving the upper body line and our locks don't work anyway I decided to have a little fun with the door handles:







And I sprayed a test panel for our new 2011 color. It's called cobalt blue metallic.

So have not had time to do much recently. Had our first child last weekend and surprise surprise that takes up some of my time. Got a chance this weekend to spend a little time in the garage. brad came over and finished boxing around the tubs. Now we just need to pull the motor to finish them. We also test fit the top mount manifold we made and the gt3071r turbo. We will start working on some of the aluminum fab next.

I got most of the car painted this week. We still need a dmax style hood and uras type 4 rear bumper though (pm me if you have one for sale). The color is cobalt blue metallic.











This is what it looks like in the sun:



Spraying the chassis:







Finally fixed the rear end:



Mostly back together:

So my updates on the fab/engine/chasis stuff suck I know. Been really busy and haven't had time to post. Just got some bad news from R/T that the new engine won't be ready for April 2nd. So I am going to throw last years engine back in for the first event. Here are pics of the new setup almost done. Also found this when pulling the motor. New urethane mounts are going in.







Front end bolts off with 4 grade 8 bolts headlights, grill, and intercooler included.



Custom turbo manifold off car.



Hot side piping complete, custom intake manifold complete, just need cold pipe.
