I love the FORGE BP,,,, ya know they make a BOV that bolts right to it. The 'balts don't have the room to the firewall... we do.

I went to ZZP and picked up my order today-





Front cover is back on!, the shield though needs some trimming, after some other fitment fixes, and pulling the whole radiator and condenser forward to snake that coldside pipe in, I'm calling it a night-

It sucks to pull the headlights apart I have them done on my red SS.

If you're going to do a coldside, learn from my frustration please, take the radiator/condenser brackets off up top, remove the pass. side lower bracket, pull assembly out of driver's side and then proceed. Life got so much easier when I stopped being pissed off and thought that through! 5 f-in' bolts would have saved me a few swear words.

Looks good! I decided not to bother, taking them apart is another project I don't need, and buying Depo's would be money better spent on other items .



I took a night off but jumped back to finishing it tonight, I hate hacking up OEM stuff, but I went back and trimmed for the lower shield to actually fit, lost a few mounting locations but kept it so it'd be secure, fit, and still protect to a slight extent-


Dremel FTW .

Let me know.... I was half way through taking a set apart when that flood hit last year and they were in the basement..... I don't know if I can salvage them. Been sitting there ever since.
