Test fit with 650 style headlights while I wait for American Muscle to figure out how to send me a left and right engine mount instead of 2 Lefts and 2 Rights…

This is a fun build.

Out of curiosity, if you happen to be able to weigh the GT350 bumper without anything on it, I'd love to know the exact weight. I have a Speedkore full carbon bumper waiting to go on the car and wonder just how much weight savings is there. I'm betting it's only a pound or two savings.

Yep. And I think it's gonna be a favorite. Because even though that thread I mentioned on Page 1 seemed dumb at the time, the knuckle dragger part of me really wanted to see someone drop a snotty Godzilla in an S550.

Zack kinda did already, his first build was an S550 dash and interior and electronics in a S197 shell with a godzilla and a 10R80.

1/2" closed cell Dynamat in place of the factory jute insulation. Got a couple areas to finish up but the majority is in.

So with my highly accurate scientific bathroom scale.... OEM bumper cover is about 10lbs.

Motor mounts finally delivered. Engine bay stripped in prep for paint. The color is not staying magnetic grey…
