Todays Plan: Put cradle in the car and test fit!
(my son = Master Cheese as he loves to show a big cheese smile for the camera)

Master Cheese Himself after several hours of preping we are about to start the installation.



Heres a shot we took of the rear suspended from the giant support beam after we removed the "Temp Cradle" that the jackstands held.


Master Cheese sitting in the trunk with a "OMG lets start it up now!.... look"

Great bonding with Master Cheese! Not all kids enjoy the same thing their Dad does. Real nice work on the car too!

He has his moments when he gets bored and goes outside and then comes back. this weekend he was in pittsburgh with the wife and daughter, which made it excellent time to do things he shouldnt be around when being done, #1 exhaust welding(eye damage hazard), #2 pulling fuel tank(inhailing fumes)
the garage stinks of fuel right now, he'll be in some of the next pics, he cant wait to do some more work!

Heat Shield work!
heres the pieces I cut out before taking to get some bends made:


made these pieces to keep the hot air from the exhaust from making its way up and cracking the GT tail lights, bolted and hi-temp siliconed on.



this is the "trunk shield" that will be spaced off below the trunk and above the exhaust, I messed up my measurements and had to make a few home-made bends, used hi-temp silicone to seal the two pieces - the one is angled to allow the hot air to flow out underneath the bumper.



the firewall heat shield, a preliminary "Fit" before lunch.
