The air comes from the louvers right above the decklid. On a stock t3 it is routed to the front of the engine. All that sheet metal is gone.

Looks good. So are those going to open to the fender wells, or where is the air going to come from?

Eric, in Paul's car the C-channel sections didn't line up, right?


That's right Bo

If you get some measurements and come up with some thin gauge sheet metal 22 gauge or thinner. I can shear and break up to 40" long pieces.

You mean the back of the engine, where that big bellows thing is? I never really looked at how the air was routed in a type 3....

Keepin on.

I can't find the rear engine tin so the final edge is oversize so it can be trimmed later.

There is going to be plenty of room for a big a$$ turbo. :D

I can't wait to be done! Working with sheet metal has been tough on my hands. I slipped tonight and look a chunk of skin out of my thumb.

Does anyone know of a media blaster in town? I emailed Mo's muscle cars here in conroe and they quoted $85/hr shop rate and estimated between $750-$1500 for everything. Is that a fair price?
