    The car is now in the capable hands of Brian Slowe. Brian is going to be doing some fab work, starting with a fore-aft motor mount. He also offered a possible solution to the limited space that all want to be shared by the intercooler, radiator, cooling fans and intake plenum.

    Thanks! I am still considering this a relatively conservative build. Riding the fine line of doing things the right way not not letting costs get out of control.

    Don't do it, it's a trick! Despite the name, nothing slow ever comes out of that shop.

    It really is the worst false advertising I've ever seen.

    That would be quite a spectacle to see. I am going to try to be ready for the fall event, but if it makes it, it certainly will not be 100%.

    Stick the radiator in the passenger side fender, get it completely out of the way.

    I'm really pleased with it. Can't wait to see it in person. I'm not sure the car is deserving of Brian's work.
