The better half needs a toy to drive too!!! :p

@Chris_WNC is a fiberglassing newbie, my comment was mainly for his info. :D

Caution- use epoxy resin when fiberglass on foam. The 'bondo' polyester resin will eat the foam if it is not coated first - latex paint could be used as a coating. The epoxy resin is typically available from boating or aircraft suppliers.

Adam is getting married soon, so the Doyle's extra time might be preoccupied with this special event.

Will you be adding a fan to the heat exchanger? There is plenty of room inside the side pod from your mockup. Maybe a small fan (6 inch) over 1/2 of the face, leaving the other 1/2 exposed for natural airflow while moving - that way you can still get some cooling when stopped or moving in slow...

Which stupid wheel trend? The stick them completely outside the wheel wells: Or the wheels with rubber bands for tires: Or the jack it into the sky and don't have enough money for tires to fill up the wheel wells:

Transmission oil pump and filter?

The NV4500 has a super low first gear and a wiiiiiiide gear spread - it is typically driven as a 4 speed for most driving, starting off in 2nd gear (with short stockish tires and not towing obviously). The gear case is larger and heavier (iron case) than a 'stock' NV2500 or NV3500 manual...

The 4L80e is the Turbo 400 of the electronic controlled ATs for GM. Just me, but I would leave it an automatic and learn to relax your left leg while towing. ;):D

The 'cubby' is sloped forward, does have a couple drain holes at the low (forward) point, and will be lined with thin carpet material to keep items from rattling around. I still have to figure out the ignition switch configuration and mount that will reside above the 'cubby'. It will also need a...

Adversity is the mother of invention! Great thinking to make up a tool that works easily. Patent? :D

Update on the dash assembly: got the frame all measured and fabbed up - tweaked to fit correctly. The frame contour follows the underside rear edge of the hood (as close as my tooling will allow for bending the 3/4 inch tube) to try to minimize the gap. It incorporates a center 'waterfall" frame...

I'm giddy with anticipation! ;)

I'm sure @comegetjoe could be obliged to part with his speed-hood to make Gobalt look the part it is meant to play! :p I'm sure a deal could be struck and a pickup during one of your future traveling adventures taking place. ;)

Jeremy, what are you replacing these seat with? Just curious. :D But these do look comfy and do fit inside the cockpit. Would be a good upgrade from the stock Cobalt seats for someone close by you. ;)

That hood has got ro be worth 25 HP and 15 MPH to the top end of any Cobalt it's installed on! :D

Happy Birthday Lonny! Hope it's a good one! :D

The 'U' (135? 180?) should be 2.75 inches (70 mm) on both ends to mate with the DF MAP pipe - or sized to match the MAP you will be using.

Turbo inlet (T04) is 2.36 inches (60 mm) - needs a reducer joint from 3.0 inches from the MAF pipe. Turbo outlet (T04) is 2.0 inches (50 mm) - needs an expansion joint to match the inlet to intercooler (2.5 inches?). The intercooler outlet 2.5 inches?) - needs an expansion joint for the 2.75...
