I didn't take time to read every post, but the motor hasn't been fired up yet, right? Great work, subscribed.

Okay boys and guys, its pic time.. So this past weekend I went to go pick up my car from UpRev, from all the FAB work being done.. Cage, front tube chassis, Radiator ducting and much more... I love the work that Russell did and highly recommend him to anyone that needs any FAB work done on their car.

Now it sucked driving back cause it started to rain, tried to cover the car with a car cover so must of the exposed metal did not get rain on it.. But **** happens and water got on some of the metal so have to clean the rust off before paint..

I will add a drink later, at work so I forgot to upload a beer for the week..

On to the pic 80+ of them....lol



So my baby is finally home and ready for tea down so I can start getting her ready for paint...



mean mugging already...



Showing the Splitter from underneath..



Even my dog approves....lol



Yeah def going to be changing out the yellow for RED...



So I placed my old bumper on there to see what it would look like since I am bouncing around the idea of both bumpers. I think it looks good also.



And yes it is beat up a lot... But this just give you an idea how it would look.



Looks so mean..









Russell added some extra support bars to the bottom of the tube chassis.. No moving here..



Anther view of the bottom bracket support tube



PS Cooler mounted up and ready to rock



Its small but its all I need





Def going to change this to Red..



Hood pins installed, just awaiting my new hood



Here is my Headlight brackets, Russell did a pretty cool job on them.



another look



Good by ABS system.. Why? "Because Race Car!!!"



T fitting for the front brakes




Here is a pic of my Tank that will run all my coolant lines..












Door bars.... Now i have to remove all the stuff from the door and make some custom Carbon Fiber covers.. going to look good





Love this view. You get an idea of how everything looks..



Russell add these bars to protect my little/big head... lol



Base plate for door bars and front hoop





Base plate for main hope and door bars



Its a party over here.....lol



Rear base plate



dash Bar complete need to trim dash some but you get the idea





Pic of the ASD Hydro mounted



Hydro all wired up



The T for the rear brake lines. I love that they run through the cab. Easy fix when something goes wrong



Sits a lot lower then my old bride rails did and I love it..





Man looks so legit from this view



I really did not get a chance to showcase the Ron Davis Radiator so here are some pics..











Ron Davis knows their stuff and it shows with the 35 years of experience





Radiator Ducting looks so legit







Here is the splitter, kind of dirty now due to the rain, but will be painted black anyways.. Also I am going to make a ton of copies of this just in case I F it up..

Thinking of doing a alumacore one and a CF honeycomb splitter..







Splitter bracket. also have about 4 other mounting point..





Head lights out..



BAM!! ready to take out engine again, but first I have to run my throttle cable to check length.. That will be next week.



Again here is a shot of the Headlight brackets.. love the wholes...lol

Yup time for me to a tubular front on the G Sedan. After seeing how much room you freed up Im positive i can fit a front mount single turbo in front of the LSX water pump and still have room for a condensor for AC and with one of out tucked radiators it will be have the size of the one you are running.

If you want to get rid of that booster we have a brake booster eliminator kit that will work perfect in that spot. I plan on getting rid of the sedondary firewall like fueled racing did with their 350z and not having any lines with our brake booster eliminator so the master cylinder will be the only thing you see.

Nice, I plan to run a twin turbo setup later, but for now this will work..

Also I am getting rid of the secondary fire wall now as we speak.. I was advised against going with the brake booster eliminator though. A lot of drifters told me now to..

Wait so they are saying to do it now? If so let me know ill get you one. The single outlet ones we use are a 7/8 's and will work perfectly with the setup that you have. The drifters are prob using the wrong master cylinder so they have the wrong pedal ratio. If you need one PM me for a sweet price
