That all looks very neat and balanced. The symmetry of the layout looks great. Nice work!

Thanks!  Much appreciated.

Ok, been taking care of ticky tack stuff.  Now back to the fab stuff.  Intercooler mounted and plumbed.  Fabed up a steel lower air dam, it sits a little low, so some adjustment there.  Maybe a hinge so I can raise it when needed?  Almost finished with the front end, but I do not want to put a bumper on the front.  Any ideas?

tough looking car,

Hood is within 1/4" of fitting.   Yay!!!!

Great work, is there ducting for under hood exhaust temp?

Not yet, but there will be.  The sides of the front air dam will have scoops for flowing air over the turbos, and out vents in the hood.

Think I will do a bumper tuck.

Ring Brothers does an interesting front bumper.

Thanks, very nice.  I might try to work some of those elements in.

Removed about 2 inches to raise them up, and rotated them to be in line with lower fascia.

Did you give a slitter look a thought ? Great fab work !

Awesome, would look good in a Mad MAX movie. How about some metal fab work and join the lower valance and the top stone guard together so it looks like one panel, then fab up a grill to fit in the opening.

Thanks.  I am currently adding vents to the side of the air dams for cold air inlets to cool the hot side of the turbos.  I like what Silver 69 put up, so I am going to do a bumper tuck.  Stay tuned!  :)

Probably should have a P in there for splitter.

Front splitters are essential aerodynamic components that serve to balance the front vs. rear distribution of downforce. Splitteris typically found on the front-end of a race car, appearing as a flat extension to the very bottom of the front bumper.

Thought I was missing something.  I am trying to keep the original flavor with twists.  I front spoiler was molded around an original mach 1 chin spoiler.

Sorry about that and thx Bob. So yes something like this (incase you didn't see the build)
