Right on, looks like you've spent a good amount of time in prep. A little tip I want to share is using your oven too, if the pieces fit I always give parts a little warming before tacking them, helps any oils from your hands or anything else rise out of the piece, and a little heat to cure the paint hard after painting. Of course don't over do it, if you are lucky your oven will let you run it real low, 150* or so, if not, cycle it by manually, and pop the door open. I want one for the garage.

Don't you worry about the measurements, I'm going out with a tape measure and a camera so you can see exactly what and where the 5,9 vents are and look like. Can't get more specific then that!

Personally I don't care if people were to call you a poser.... I'd throw it right back in their face and say I get way better ventilation with the 5.9 stuff... And they can shove their poser crap right up their rear end... (And I don't mean their turdy-five)

o i could care less what they think. i just find it humorous when they feel im posing and/or copying them and that the sanctity of their 5.9 realm has been breached. :lol: haha

Sweet pick up, throw him in the forum now and we can watch his grow :mrgreen: How'd those measurements work out for you on the vents? Make sense a little better after you lay the vents on the hood?
