As you remove and reinstall panels to test fit how do you know it's going back in the same exact spot? We used small self tapping screws in multiple locations.

How did you determine where and how many plug weld holes to use? Depending on the size of the plug weld needed we spaced them accordingly, about 1 to 2.5 inches.

Does the rain gutter stay on the car even when the roof and quarter is removed? Yes, The gutters remained attached on this build.

Keep us updated.

A few updates...

We installed the Transmission Cooler with Fan, the Electric Fan for the Radiator, Fan Shroud and the Derale Fan Controller. The real tail-Pipe Hangers we welded on too.

I needed the welding practice in tight spots.

It looks cleaner this way.

Originality can be Improved.

Those little factory bolts wouldn't hold up this 3" tailpipe. HAHAHA

We put the "Super 400 Hood" on the car. The fit is OK, it does need some time for overall clean-up from the mold process. the middle sides of the hood which run along the fender seem about a 1/4" high. I may need Dzus fasteners to run along side the hood for proper fitment to pull it down. Pictures to follow.

I received the "Universal Spinners" 2" Drop Base and Flat Lid with middle recess for the Air Cleaner Bolt. This stuff is Very Nice and I recommend them to anyone who need more hood clearance.

Once installed with my Super 400 Hood and 3.5" K&N Air Cleaner the hood still doesn't close all the way and it needs about 1/2" More clearance minimum. Instead of cutting the Victor Intake down I am going to order the Northwind Intake which is 1.25" shorter than the Victor with comparable flow.
