Thanks Fellas'

Well I had a show on Sat> so I had to hurry up and knock these out. Worked on them all day Thur and Friday. Still need to make another panel to run accross the back firewall area but so far I'm really happy with the turn out. The front panel I cut out and then took it to a place that does my water jetting and had them cut out the R/T and Dakota into it. And yes My paint booth was rigged out of a E-Z up canopy, plastic drop cloths and 2 filters with the down draft one attached to a box fan. works great.

Wow, I don't think you can get any cleaner than that great job. nice complete system build also , I've been through that thread a couple of times.

Well- I just getting started on the Firewall cover that will tie the two sides together and allow it to all flow evenly. Like the others I'm building it so that it can easily be removed if I need to do any motor work.

Lol you should paint the tops of the batteries orange; they stand out. Unless that is the purpose per your sponsors.

Slowly Taking shape but I'm sure you all can see where this is going.

Ok- here is the final stage- mock up before and after being sand blasting, Now I just need to apply some body filler to smooth it out and it's ready for paint.

Wow. Not gonna lie when I saw the picture of you notching into the fender well to level out the battery tray.. I thought man this guy is going to ruin a perfectly good show car.

Wrong. Wrong. haha Looks great man, I dont think Ive seen that clean of a job doing anything in a while.. IMO it doesnt even stand out and I would leave the batteries the color they are. Helps advertise the brand, and you have plenty of color going on in your engine bay anyway.. so whats a little blue going to hurt?

Yeah- I looked at all of my available options before notching it but it had to be done to get the right stability and look- Thanks for the kudos!
