[The EnforceR]

good luck, looks like ya have about 40 holes to fill! from the corral forums, it seems like it takes guys FOREVER to get their engine bays smooth when they fill it with metal. it may be easier to just weld the backsides up, then skim over the top with metal glaze, depending on how thick he metal is and how deep the holes are. just my .02....

[BlueMongoose]

im just going to cut the inner fender and weld in pieces the silver car beside mine is already done its not to bad

[The EnforceR]

yea thats an easier option too, didnt know you had a parts car....

[BlueMongoose]

its not a parts car its matts car he is almost done with his engine bay im going to make them its not that hard i think some guys make it harder on there selfs if you cut too much out :hack:

[axistang]

Want a Novi 2000 kit for $2200? I need to sell it before I get my turbo. There was a guy at the track with AFRs, charger, stock bottom end he ran 7.0 and said the belt came off before the finish line.

[BlueMongoose]

i know i was with him cody and he has a procharger not a novi

[axistang]

Is he going again anyime soon? I have to work every other Thursday. I dont even think Roberto looked at it he just talked to David about it.

[BlueMongoose]

Wow, it looks like somebody shot your engine bay with a shotgun. I've never seen so many holes Sammyboy.

More holes = more weight reduction.
