I wish I had a shop half that size for all my stuff!

All you need now are a couple of old crappy couches and a 70" flat screen for the ole' man cave.

BTW, where did you get that shelving?

The shelving is used pallet racking, watch craigslist it shows up from time to time. I bought 3x the amount I used and resold the extra, worked out pretty good that way.

Ya, thought it looked liked some sort of warehouse shelving.

Sure enough, I looked on my local CL and there are are few guys that have it listed.

Did you use the decking it came with, or make your own? Most of what I'm seeing doesn't have the decking.

I used 2"x8"mainly. I found a 10' board only took 2 cuts and gave me 3 planks. I also used some leftover ply wood. The wire racks are ok but I wanted a solid surface on most of it.

Love the hood! Keep the pics coming. Nice collection also

I finally got some time to work on the R again. I put the stock hood on, however it doesn’t clear the intake so I have to run the Term hood in black till I get it painted. Oh well. I had to pull the K-member and pan off to fix a leaky pan gasket. I hate leaks, especially on a new motor. She is working well now.

Kid was in the way here too.

Here are a few shots after her bath today.

Note new Ram air intake I built up. Still need to put on the intake plaque and the fan shroud, maybe tomorrow.

sounds really good. You know, I think that hood looks bad a$$ on it. It makes the wheels stand out better. Looks good

Man that thing sounds baddass! I envy that little boy! I really like the hood too, I would keep it black.

Looks and sounds great. You are very brave. I would be a nervous wreck with the kid in there and the car running LOL.

Car looks awesome, love the way you did the intake.

Thanks guys, I'm still trying to decide what to do with the hood. The stock one does not fit and I’m not 100% sure I want to keep this one on the car. Once I figure it out I’ll get one the correct color on there.
