The car looks amazing. Nice work!

Thank you!

That wrinkle is there to form fit around the radiator and the reinforcement bar that slightly curves inward where the hood latch is. The pic above of it in the engine bay is slightly wrong -- its supposed to slide a little more (1") forward and fit flush against that bar.

Looking good guys. I have a special part coming for my car that I need to make you aware of. Will call you sometime today (Sat) so we can discuss some more. Jesse... looking incredible bro. I take it that this is the new higher temp epoxy on the duct, correct??

Yep -- I took some samples and did an experiment in the temp chamber I have at work for testing electronic circuit boards. This new resin (Silmar 249) should hold up far better to engine bay temperatures in Arizona. I should have taken a picture of the Kleer Koat epoxy sample at 80C -- it was about as flexible as a slice of cheese. Its too bad, that epoxy was by far the easiest to work with.

Some pictures of Jesses' next project

With a lot of resin and fiberglass that becomes this

Again, with a lot of resin and more fiberglass that becomes this

If it is not obvious, this new project is a water/meth reservoir in the spare tire well.
