What are the dimensions on that coolant tank and if you don't mind, how far apart are the mounting tabs? I was going to order one of them, but the guy never got back with me concerning the size of it.

I’ll measure the tab separation when I pickup from powder

Wow! Just wow! I forgot it was a Saleen wing and it looks beautiful!

I'd hope so.....it's a real Saleen :D

thanks buddy!!

BTW anyone considering this decklid needs to know it's FAR from a plug and play swap with the latch and spoiler mounting. The body shop had 4 hours in labor getting everything installed. The underside of the trunk had to be cut up pretty decently. Worth it to keep the continuity with the hood imo

13” Baer brakes installed front and rear. The rear utilizes a stock caliper with a Baer bracket to allow for the 13” rotor to be run. All calipers completely rebuilt after Powdercoat. Looks pretty cool matching the valve covers

Finally just got caught up on all 29 pages. I can't wait to see the final product. I've always loved the SN95/New Edge Saleens.

I gotta say though...I can't imagine building a car like this and not keeping/driving it with some frequency. I'm hoping you'll enjoy driving it for at least a few months before putting it up for sale.

Thank you for the follow brother!

Got the intake completely buttoned up with injector harnesses hidden. Tapped a hole in the bottom for IAT. Tapped a barb fitting in the back to run a remote IAC under the intake as well. The majority of the harness will be under and behind the intake for maximum cleanliness in the bay. After that we bolted it down for the FINAL time.

After nonstop grinding on the car this weekend we are mere hours away from firing. Major headway being made. Here’s a few pics.

First...the car as it sits. This is what being under construction looks like. at least the carbon decklid is installed lol

Some interior updates. Wrinkle blue color matched harness bar (really just for show) and custom bronze and blue color matched saleen floor mats. So sweet imo

And herrrreee is your 99% finished engine bay. Wires, lines and hoses tucked, relocated power steering tank next to the coolant tank, installed custom locar throttle cable and everything else buttoned up. I’m thrilled with how it came together. It’s super clean imo
