Finished installing the mesh in the openings in the decklid. Painted the mesh black as well. It came out better than i expected. Just need to setup the trunk pins and this piece is ready.

My 98 GT 4v track/drift car build thread...
- Thread starter ProchargedSN-95
- Start date
Got the rear portion of the car cut out. Just need to clean it up a bit and get it ready for the bash bar, fuel cell, battery and radiator next.
That is insane. Mad props to you.
Been super busy during the holidays. Got back on this project this past week. Started my front bash bar setup. Got some material and started bending. Just need to fab up a few more pieces and weld it all together.
Here is the mock up. Will post some more pix after i get more done this weekend.

best sn95 build ive seen!
So this weekend we got to test out my new welder and build the front bash bar setup for my stang.
My buddy brian started by tacking everything together. Tacked the plates on the frame rails and bolted on the 2nd set so its removable.
Did alot of measuring and got it all tack welded together
I cut out a section on each fender to allow room for the bash bar to fold under in the event of a front corner bump or crash that way it doesnt crush the fender in half in the event of a hard bump or light crash
Here is what it looks like after we got everything all welded up and on. It fits nice and snug underneath the front bumper
Also got to do the the Trunk lid pins since it has no way of latching now since the middle has been cut out.

After we started the mock up for the intercooler and upper support brace for the front bumper. Going to make brackets so its a bolt on deal. Hoping to have the front end wrapped up this weekend.

Got the front end all finished up today. Looks like a football helmet lol. Alot of time went into this with all the measuring and fabbing. Gonna clean everything up so i can paint it next. These pix show eveything all tack welded. Everything is now welded up real good now.

Put the front end together today. Pain in the ass lining up the fenders with the hood lol!
Started by painting all the welds and grinded areas flat black.
Mounted the upper support brace and inter cooler.
Then put the bash bar on
Got the fenders and hood on with the hood pins.
Here is what it looks like minus the front bumper. I moved my power pipe into the protected area and away from the lower corner like usual. But now Bob Kurgan talked me into a blow thru setup. So this powerpipe setup will be gone.

Good stuff man. Keep up the good work
Now that im switching from draw thru to blow thru, ive rounded up all the pieces i needed. Was debating on a Vortech BOV or TurboSmart BOV. Well i was offered the idea of running TurboSmart's "bigga bubba" BOV. Loud and obnoxious is what im going for lol!
BOV sound - Turbosmart Big Bubba 52mm blow off valve - Turbo Camaro - YouTube
Cant wait to get this blow thru setup done. Got about 6 weeks to finish this thing before bob comes out to california to tune it in person.
