Default Just need a little room

To make great something that is good, you must tear it down and build it back up....

Because I insisted on making this one of "those" builds, I knew there would be areas into the unknown we'd go (at least for me). I was correct. Loving what will be the symmetrical appearance of the engine bay when the required tanks etc. are installed with the front mount air intake, an issue came up about clearance. VMS reworked the engine mounts and all other sorts of modifications to make the intrusion as minimal as possible. They did it. This is going to be stealth but menacing when done. Well done VMS!

Now, hood is off to the magicians at the paint shop and VMS will turn now to getting the engine running. Things are getting interesting!

Default The build continues...

While the paint shop is working their magic on the modified hood, VMS is moving ahead with the build..

Now that's a cool (pun intended) grill. VMS's custom work at its finest





Custom fluid tanks that will straddle the straight air inlet pipe...
