The nose comes off easily and sets nicely on this chin spoiler

Glazing the engine bay. This should be in blue paint in a couple weeks. Amazes me how many pin holes form in the body filler.

Looking great!

That stance is perfect. Are you doing the nascar fender cut, or keeping the long body line intact?

I’m going to keep the original body lines as they are.

Dual chutes and air launchers are in the plan….

I added the braces to the turbo mounts. The mounts weren’t rigid enough as they were so I needed the additional support. The entire mount is removable if need be.

At the speeds you're going to be hitting, that's a great idea.

Don't need to see parts flying off in the rear view mirror

I spent some time sorting out the water tanks and working to finish them. The driver side tank was nearly done just needing paint and some details. The passenger side is still in process but coming along nicely.

While I’ve been fabricating, Mike has been working on the fenders. They’re looking great.

How much water do the tanks hold?

How much water do the tanks hold?

Each tank is capable of holding 4 gallons plus the capacity of the intercoolers and lines is probably another 2 gallons per side. I won’t run that much at all. Just enough for consistent temps with E85. Probably won’t run any water with the methanol. Originally the plan was race gas and water/ice in the tanks. Definitely not planning that at this point but will have the ability.

Lots of progress on the fenders this weekend. Still tons of little parts like the fender scoops and hardware to prep and paint as well. We’re painting the front side marker lights blue to blend better so they got blasted and prepped as well.

Doesn’t look like much from the back and the trailer makes it look worse lol
