Looks great...and love the color combo, the black ascents and rims are a great match.

Chris built mine as well, really pleased with them!

Nice work Bob, sounds like you're making quick progress!

I had to trim mine ( Active Power MK1 - twin nostril), more so down low where it got close to the radiator fans. I had built a simple fan box/shroud, so the fans were ~1/2" spaced from the radiator. *FYI - I had noticed the nostril doesn't match up to the full depth of the radiator, as well...

oh man...so sorry to hear this. May his family and friends find peace through this difficult season.

Great progress!! In the pedal box, consider adding a dead pedal for your clutch foot...I added a small L bracket in front of the clutch pedal, so that I had a place to rest my foot; it's such a tight seating position, and there wasn't really a place I could relax my left foot.

I had the same issue....if I hadn't gotten my ITBs to work, I was planning to run something like the Holley side mount manifold, then either route the filter to the side inlet scoop or under the car.

weird...I used T-bolt clamps and they were perfect. I found a lot more variability in the normal worm style clamps...very much you get what you paid for.

She was super excited. With COVID, she's spent a good amount of time in the garage w/ me...I've tried hard to find fun projects for her, but she's also been great at sweeping and organizing tools; she feels invested in the whole build, which is by far the best part.

Seattle weather is improving...got out to a local Cars & Coffee event. My daughter was super excited to ride with me...she couldn't see over the dash, and had to wear ear protection, but she loved every second. It's a good juxtaposition against the truck...love that the GT40 roof is lower...

Yep. I got it from TCP Restoration Shop. I had another sample from a different place...and the colors were fairly different.

Yeah...I was really torn, cause I too loved the exposed bell-mouths; but I'm always working on something in the garage, so the idea of a small metal shard flying off and landing in there seemed too high of a risk not to add some type of protection. *weird that my commentary on the photos got...

With the ITBs working perfectly, I set out to add some type of filtration...primary goals was to prevent any kind of damaging debris (I’m not trying to OEM style), and also not hurt performance. I modified the valve covers to add 3 small posts to moutn

*somehow I can only edit my posts only within 5 minutes... I had 2 main objectives for this winter, paint, and reinstalling the ITBs. I had initially installed these over a year ago...but was having high idle issues and lots of backfiring. with so many other things to get done, I swapped to...
