I'll tell you this...the terbos are bigger than what Brady had. I've got the same fuel system he has/had though and 95% of the suspension is from Madman.

The hood is from VFN. I figured the whole sleeper image would be destroyed by the shiney FMIC and the hissing sound the turbos would make, so I said to hell with it and slapped the 4" Ram Air and the 10.5Ws on. No sleeper now...baby's on a crack binge and will be wide awake for several days.

PS, the name is Joe, Bobert.
LOL...you prolly didn't know it but I've been calling you Joel since the day I met you. *lauhging* If I stop now it would mess up the flow

I really like the look of your ride. I was all about the sleeper too and then as you I decided after the exhaust and the rest of the look, there is nothing to hide. It will be loud and hellacious so might as well roll with it. Plus I had to run a 4" cowl so the gig was up regardless.

I was hoping to make the tour this year but I'm still waiting on parts from people so unless some miracle happens I'll be doing good to have it ready by the Southern Shootout. Speaking of which....You gonna be at the Southern Shootout with the car?

It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I spent some quality time w/ a cut-off wheel and a hammer. I removed the bump stops, beat down all the sheet metal that I could and still need to take a little off the spring pocket to be safe. I should get some pics of that work. I also trimmed the front edge of the back bumper quite a bit. Next time I have it on the rack, I'll take some pics. I was surprised how well they fit on the car. Now it looks funny w/ the 28" BFGs on it.

Here's some more stuff I shot tonight. As you can tell, we were working on the cold side schtuff tonight.

Front shot of both turbos
Side shot of both turbos
Another front shot showing how the driver's side header needs to be adjusted

This is a shot of the new radiator. It will sit almost straight up in the car between the upper & lower core supports.

The new temporary radiator until AFCO can make my good one

The mounted Spearco FMIC
Spearco before we started the intercooler piping

Nice!

Who/What/Where is the hood? i have a picture of one with that hood but its a few inches smaller, but a good bit higher than the stock ram air hood, but I havent been able to find out who sells it

Yours looks killer, a little too high for a bolton beast like mine thoug

It's a 4" Ram Air cowl from VFN. Fernando & Co. do an excellent job.
