I am going to replace the factory shield with another product. It will counter the floor better and one less thing to potentially rattle. Quote:
There's a bunch of little detailed things I've done that I haven't posted simply because all this takes a huge amount of time. Plus most of you guys would just think I'm crazy, LOL. A good example is the bolts for the alternator, Hard to see in the picture but I polished all of them. Quote:

Actually, I did name it "G5R". I'm going to have some logo's made for it. I'm also thinking of imprinting it on the calipers along with a few other places. Wait till you guys see the brakes I'm getting. ************************************************** ****************** Quick update: Been working on relocating the ABS. Started by separating the piece of the bracket that the ABS block mounts to from the rest of the bracket. I will only need the smaller piece. The rest goes into the weight saving bin. Here's the bracket on the ABS block. I've been contemplating what would be the best place to mount the ABS block. I'm thinking it will go under the cross bar inside the wheel well. This will keep it well protected. I will be making an aluminum shield to cover it. I bought a bunch of fittings on Wednesday to start making the hard lines. Little sneak peek: Got my Mantic twin disk on Wednesday. I will be installing it tomorrow. I will do a DIY on it; perhaps an install video. Another sneak peak: As alluded to earlier, I should have some more components coming from Pfadt next week; this should include the beautiful coil overs. I just love the color of their components. They're like mechanical pieces of art. So I thought I'd give some homage to the beautiful Pfadt colors, so I will be detailing the rack in the same colors.

Thanks Tommy!
Not sure on the weight but it's next to nothing. There was about four different companies that had their own version at PRI. I'm looking into which would work best. The other neat thing is I will be able to get rid of the stubs and nuts sticking out in the engine bay and floor board. Ahhhhhhh...... patient grasshopper, LOL! I will send you a PM. ************************************************** *** Quick Update: Worked on the engine bay today. I actually had two friends that work at a Hot Rod shop come over and give me a hand. Talk about a forward push!!!! Hoping to have everything done next week. We are getting rid of all the spot welds. Started by sanding off the factory over spray. Next came a thin skim coat. Still needs some work but it's coming along. If you remember from way back, I had opened up the radiator area so I could tuck it under the core support. We were just finishing dolling the area to give it a light skim coat. From a visual perspective, this is something that only I will ever know was addressed. No one else will be able to see it. Here it is after skimming the outside. We also did the inside. Being that I'm not using a factory style intake, there's no need for the stud on the driver's side shock tower where it mounts to. To remove the hump, we first have to get rid of the washer that's welded under it. It was a bit of a PITA but with a little persuasion, it gave in. After we got rid of the washer, we slice, hammer, and dolly it into shape. We finished it off by welding and giving it a skim coat. No more hump. It now matches the passenger side. Will need to remove the master and steering column this week to get the rest done. I didn't take a before picture but under the skim coat was a line of spot welds.
