Doing the same thing with the fans but running the r windscreen
Thank you.
The stock intercooler has flanges on both sides that are just under 3/4" wide (see picture). It was just a matter of drilling 6 10/32" holes and securing with stainless steel hardware, lock nuts and neoprene washers to reduce vibration.
Agreed, this is something we are talking about and will do some serious testing before we cut a section out of the fiberglass. We are still looking at different ways to draw in fresh air into the engine compartment. Other than improving the ducting on the rear fenders what are you thinking to draw in more air?

Fitting body panels and squaring edges. Nose is attached using aluminum angle stock that has been slotted on the mill for adjustment to the lower radiator support bar. Headlight buckets are installed but will need more work to pull the edges flush with the nose. I see lots of hours ahead...

"lots of hrs ahead" yes...
your panel edges and corners are so much nicer than mine (#17) I'm jealous!

I don't know if that makes me feel better I suppose so. FFRs molds were definitely dirty. Some areas of the panels are pretty good and others are a mess and the fiberglass on the edges vey thin and crumbly. My drivers side door is decent but the passenger door was cut by someone high on resin fumes.
Strikers are drilled and mounted and the door skins drilled for the latches and door frame. I'm pleased with the door gaps and the fitment and the reveal line matches the fender. After some time adjusting the hinges both doors close and latch with two fingers. Time to disassemble and paint the door frames.

Great thread! Definitely like the straightforward exhaust setup. Any update?
