    Well I got all the parts except for the AC condenser so I started pulling off the condenser, radiator and fans.

    Recovered the refrigerant, drained the radiator and removed the fans and blades to go onto the new shroud.

    Here is the start of the rebuild or shall I say breakdown and then rebuild pics.

    ABS lines go on tommorow. More pics to follow as the rebuild continues.

    Dang Tony, that's a lot of work.

    Since you have the entire front end off, you might as well throw a couple of snails in there. ;)

    Good luck.

    Radiator, condenser and power steering cooler are on all lines are on. A/C has been pressure tested and now sits in a vacuum awaiting its 134a 1.65 Ib charge. Just need to fill the coolant back up burp the coolant system and basically install the nose and im done.

    Hopefully this weekend it gets back on the road. The CBD CF is sick!!!!!

    Hood is at the painters getting its underside painted TorRed, bumper cover is done and upper brace is done.

    Here it is guys and gals completed and done.

    The CBD hood is one quality product, used the OEM grille with some modifications it went on perfectly.

    What do you all think? Personally I love it!
