Winding down on the body work. Here are photos of the passenger side marker light section and the completed front valance. I chose not to put the screen back into the valance. I don't think this screen is necessary for cooling and seems like it might help divert from under the car without the screen. Also leaving the screen out of the valance makes it a much sturdier piece.
Next on the list is the hood scoops, the battery box, and the flush mount window kit. That will complete the body work and then I need to prep it for paint. I will try to remove most of the undercoating and clean up the fender wells for re-coating. Also the engine bay needs some cleaning and the body needs some more block work to be perfect.
I can't wait to get it painted. It seems once its out of paint then I have so much more work to do. But I know that that type of work goes faster then waiting for body work. The hardest part is going to be funding all of the new parts that I hope to get for it.
I also found another manifold for my engine combination. I got a Roush A351 on the way. This one is new and hasn't been ported. I had the seller take measurements for me to make sure, and it looks good. I now have 3 intake manifolds, an A331 for 9.2" deck height a Roush A331 for 9.2" deck height and now this A351 for a 9.5" deck height. As I wanted the A351 because I hope to use an SVO block. It's nice to have options and the intake is the hardest part to find these beatiful A3 heads.
