          Good to see how you did the strut towers, I did the same and was concerned that I'd fucked it

            The convertible reinforcement gussets? Yeah that's the only way it seemed like they were going to work. At least they are in there solidly. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

              Got a really nice "tucked" radiator and fan shroud combo from chase bays, shouldn't have to worry about cooling now. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

                      Can you take a photo from the bay side? I'm interested to see how far into the bay it protrudes with the shrouds on.

                      I made my own but it is similar in proportions.

                        i'm also curious. the pictures they provide on the website aren't the best. It looks like it sit inside the front reinforcement, yea? does it give you more space compared to stock?

                            For sure I uploaded one, its quite a bit more room, I'll take another from the top once I put it back in Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

                              Painted the bay so I can get the brake lines and fuel lines installed, then the engine. No where near perfect but it's a racecar after all. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

                                looking good! that horizontal line under the shock tower is a bitch to stitch/spot. I had issues on mine too lol.
