Not bad. Are you looking to grind it down somewhat smooth and then use body filler??? It seems like its an easy task once the motor is out.

I know there bad pictures. I cut the two plastic holders so they would sit side by side and then bolted them together and to the frame. They are facing the front tire behind the plastic wheel well liner.

So they are placed where the air pump used to be, bolted from the front of the car, facing the front tire?

Umh.................I think my car is going to need a little help. Your car is making a lot more power. So I guess a 150 shot will be good.

The wires in front of the radiator support are the same length. I had to extend the wires from the fuse block to the firewall so the wires would run under the plastic fender well cover. I had an extra wiring harness which we chopped up so all the wires matched. If I remember correctly I had to extend 38 wires about 4 feet each. I'm in the process of making this a full race car and I'm going to remove all the wires and fuse blocks. If someone wants the already made blocks wire harness let me know. I'm not sure when it will be removed but it will save someone a lot of work.
