Pictures don't do it justice. How about a video?
Lmfao don't you even start... I'm tired of all this work I have done, I just want to get tuned and beat the living shit out of the car...
I will take a video tomorrow showing the work... You don't see anymore Spot welds and you cannot even tell where I patch welded. In the sunlight the bay looks amazing, like someone bedazzled it rotfl! I wont be able to roll her into the sun tomorrow but i will try getting a good video.

Getting Everything Situated an in:
Painted it all black
She was helping me work on the car:
Plan is to get EVERYTHING assembled motor wise then drop it in. I have enough room now so why not. Everything got Heat so no more rusty pipes manifolds.
Didnt Like the Heat wrap on the down pip anymore, and since i relocated everything i didn't need it. I decided to make it look better.
New Powder coat:
Drilled and welded the pan, then cleared it:
Modified the Valve cover bolts:
Cut the head off then wire wheeled and polished the wash and lastly used a metric socket head bolt.
Installed my timing cover and ATI Fluid Balancer. Used Metric Socket head caps for EVERYTHING!

Looking.great Joe. Call me when I am not at work. I leave my phone in the truck cause it is already busted.
No calls at 430am when you are drunk. I just got home now from work, call me at noon and I will answer.
Gonna be bad ass when you are done. You and I need to line up.

Thanks guys no it is not running yet just finishing up wiring some relays for fans and the water pump. Ignition powers up fine was about to get all my ECU info off for the tuner.
The reason why we didn't smooth out the fire wall was because it would have been a large quantity of bondo and risk of flex could have popped it out. I didn't want to chance anything you know.
hahaha Thank you for the compliments! I figured the video was a good idea to help show after someone mentioned it!
Greg I was calling you when I got out of work as well just trying to catch you on your schedule. I ended up just buying twin 405's cause i wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get ahold of you and I needed them before next week. Are you up and running yet yourself?
UPDATE:
Spent the entire day working on the wiring, and assembly of the motor. Both dogs couldn't keep up lol.
Threw the engine wiring harness on to start wrapping them:
Started routing the Turbo water and oil lines: Made all the lines out of Hardline.
Got the Motor in for the final time:
Threw the clutch in Ram 10.5 Dual disc with Arp Flywheel bolts:
Throwing the Transmission in:
The transmission situated the motor so that now everything is in its final position. You can see the AC lines being run down the frame on either side of the motor
Then i got a little distracted. Maybe after I finish paying off this build:
