Bill:  in picture 1, look at the bracket Mark and crew fabricated to hold the intercooler down.  This is super important, because 30+ pounds of boost is running inside the car.  If the cooler were to vent off inside the car, the pressure would be enough to break the windows.  Also notice the data recorder from Competition Data Systems, and the Koni electric shocks.   Picture 2:  Yeah, this is the back.  It's the part I'd like my competition to get used to seeing.  This is also where where the Weldon Race Pumps will reside.  Joe Amato from  Downs Ford will be supplying their Signature Series fuel system to complete the fuel circuit.  The wiring in picture 3 is waiting for completion by Bob from Spaghetti Menders.  It was taken apart so that the panel with all the electrical relays could be moved.  That panel originally resided where the intercooler tubing comes through the dashboard.   In picture four, notice the custom high-tech unobtainium valve covers that are required to run in the Pro 5.0 class.

 The nose, in picture 5, is waiting for the hood skin to return from Hairy Glass so that it can be bonded back on.  Brandon Switzer (the original owner of the car) had a Pro-Stock scoop on it.  Notice also where RaceCraft had to cut the hole in the front fascia for the turbo.  In the next picture, check out how Mark had to run a support brace from the motor plate to the turbo discharge tube.   This holds the tube up, and makes sure that the tube doesn't move around under the serious tire shake that all these machines experience from time to time.  In the next picture, check out the remote-mount CSI water pump, routed under the discharge tube.  The last picture is a great shot of how the crossover pipes blend together before they enter the turbine housing.    Mick Kmetz, of Mark's team, constructed this, and has incredible fabrication skills.
