Ya I thought that woulda happened as well. But it's right where the door meets the front fenders where it's starting to crack

Well that's definatly not exciting considering I'm replacing pretty much everything with fiberglass parts including the vented hood for the V mount.. I'll see if the body shop can reinforce those areas

Nice. Good deal. I didn't really like any of the aftermarket hoods so I kept it stock

Ya I got a deal on a slightly used built boost logic trans with a billet 2nd gear sprag. Shifts great haven't had any problems. I've done about 20 test runs and 2 3-4 hr. Dyno sessions rock solid. I changed my tranny fluid twice so far to be safe after the Dyno sessions. Fluid looks and smells ok.

Function over fashion is what I always say. It's not bad looking at all
