If i can find a local willing to let me measure I could come up with a drawing for an NB. Or if you want to get me dimensions of the hole pattern on the bumper support and distance the bumper is from the same surface I could do it.

More teaser pictures
Then this is going to replace the front bumper cross bar because we all know that is the key to good cooling on these cars. Currently scaxx and I are making 3 of these but will have enough materials to produce 7 more because we had to meet ordering minimums on the water jet pieces.

Pretty much accepted that the #allofit motpr wont be done by summer so doing all the other prep work I can this winter then finish the motor over summer and next winter.
Got an airdam put on tonight and tomorrow I will change up my sub strap mounting to get the seats lower and get the mounts for the flat floor and barge boards installed.

Got my twin scroll manifold last week after a long wait. What are your guys thoughts on the ports? Should I lay a gasket up then port it with a sanding drum so they are all smooth? I am also thinking i will surface both flanges just so i know they are perfectly flat.

Have had very minimal free time lately but was able to get the wiring pruned and cleaned up on the driver side. Still have to do some clean up back near the relay panel near the firewall but its coming along. Progress should start moving again this summer.

Before it leaves the garage this winter it will get a thorough clean inside and out. Then when the new motor goes in the engine bay will get an even better cleaning and probably new paint.

Two questions today
1. What are you guys typically paying for a machine shop to clean, deck head? and clean, deck, install and adjust oversize valves?
2. Can anyone recommend a good shop in Washington preferably within an hour or two of Seattle?
