Love the blue in the engine bay, what color is that?  The yellow will contrast nice with the blue.

Looks like good progress is being made.  The blue color you've chosen is going to look awesome.

I heard those add each stack is about 100hp so the more the better. HAHA nice ride and that blue looks awesome. i wonder how it would look if you polished out the metal and sprayed some clear on it.
