JD don’t burn yourself out on this thing! Looks great though! I took many pics last night. Now I can’t find my adapter card to put them on my comp. Also cant make bluetooth work to send them that way. E-mail it is I guess 🖕 technology ---

I was in the mood to bother turbociv… Some pics I took while at the shop last night. I am starting to get excited and glad to finally give you guys some underside shots although I had to take these on my phone. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0510.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0510.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0511.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0511.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0515.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0515.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0552.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0552.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0547.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0547.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0537.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0537.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0535.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0535.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0533.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0533.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0530.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0530.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0526.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0526.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0523.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0523.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0519.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0519.jpg) ---

The underside truly looks amazing. I’m guessing when all the engine work is finally done, you’re going to pull it to paint the engine bay last? ---

> [@turbociv](#): > > yes, however the amount of miles and action this thing will see will be minimal compared to what a 100k mile DD so i wasnt too concerned. I matched up the mild manifolds to mild vband halfs and the other halfs are 304 to match the crossover, so hopefully the major thermal expansion and contractions will accur at the vband connection itself. However if there are issues we can always throw something in there. Agreed. There will be A LOT less heat cycles on this than any DD. Again, wish I could see the pics at work. Gota remember to try and check this out again tonght. Dan ---

The car looks great drew. It’s really nice to see all the blood, sweat, tears, joose and burnt sweat pants coming to fruition finally. I love this car as if it were my own It’s so fucking sexy. Sorry I ever doubted the bling gold paint it looks jaw dropping. ---
