Project Update, Updating pics Options

[RON S.]

Thought I'd post a few pics of my continuing (what seems like a life long project.)
Pic 1 is of the front corner,I finally got around to painting the Getty Design hood on the front that I bought last Aug.
This past weekend,after the paint had set on it about a month,I color sanded it and buffed it out.
I spent 4 hours sanding & buffing on the hood alone.
Sorry about the dark pic it was taken late in the day.
If ya look towards the cowl area of the pics,you can see the ridge beam of my carport,It's 12 feet up from the floor.

Ron,

I was always under the impression that the stock 9146 engine tin doesnt work with the 3.6 engines (it doesnt fit into the car because the engine is wider and therefore doesnt line up.) Most of the installs I have done are into race cars where we run NO tin.. but my latest 3.6 install is into a stock tub for the street. I know it bolts on but.. I didnt think it would fit into the stock rubber pieces.

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I have already powder coated all the stock sheet metal..and it would be NO hassles for me to use it if I can.. but I didnt think I could)

Back at work,now I can give some answers.
Yes Brad,the sheetmetal is much modified.
The fit in the area of the fuel lines was about 1"short from reaching the cam chain covers on both sides.
I spotwelded material and folded it over 180 deg.so it has a nice snug fit in the groove in the chain covers.had to do it to both sides across the front.sides fit ok,back pcs.had to have holes for all wiring and such.Expect about 20-30 hours fab'n to make the aftermarket sheetmetal fit a 3.6l
