1 pointDon't waste your money, unless your paper filter is clogged the K&N isn't going to do anything but let very fine sand into the cylinders.1 point

1 pointThanks Guys, guess I will post up LS1 related things with my project when it comes to it then. Small update with lots of pictures. The battery tray welded in. For now, not much else to do with the front of the car, rust repair wise. Cleared out the back half of the cars interior, took everything out. Had a hell of time removing the antenna motor. Finally decided that the bracket had to come off. Had to remove a small bolt on the bottom, wasnt easy. Everything else pictured below came out alright. Surprised how unrusty the back of this car is except for the wheel well areas. Also, I should had removed and drained the fuel tank before doing any work to the car, now that I think it of it, there were so many instances of the car catching on fire. Started work on the rear passenger side quarter panel. Though I needed to cut out the inner well. I left an inch of material to give me something to weld on to. Also made sure I took good care of the passenger side inner wheel arch because I needed a template to work off from. The driver side is hacked up. You know there is a reason why professional car restorers and fabricators hate low life cheap loosers who bondo over rusted metal and want to beat the living sh*t out of them. loosely test fitted it to get an idea of what im working with. Also wanted to see what my fiberglass fender flares look like. These are the Marugen Shoukai flares, supposedly to be once of the best fitted flares on the market. Seem to fit good. Will need to rotate the flare clockwise from the pictures show. Thought about make my own wide flares and even been thinking about remaking the who quarter panel. But for this car I wont, I really do like the look of these flares. I'll save making my own for another car. But I still want to try to recreate the whole rear quarter panel, will be good practice and experience, which is why you start to see a bunch of lines drawn on the car. Just giving myself a visual of how a metal or wooden buck may consist of. Trying to find the crease line that runs the length of the car using string. Used my bead roller to indent the hardly noticed crease in the Tabco panel. crease line marked on the car. Metal removed. Panel all trimmed and fitted. Had to do a lot of modifying to get it to blend in with its surroundings. Did a bunch of shrinking, stretching and some wheeling. Probably not the best seams to lay a weld, but need to cover the rusted area near the fuel filler cap. Wanted to weld just above or below the crease from the original panel but was unable to. Made a cardboard template and metal template on the contour of the rear quarter panel in some areas both vertically and horizontally to check that the new panel blends in. I will be relocating the fuel filler cap somewhere else, stay tuned for that, have a slick and cool idea Ive seen. Stock one removed. So earlier today I had to refill my argon cylinder. Well the guy at my local Airgas said they didnt have my size cylinder (125cf) in stock to swap out, so he said I will hook you up. Ended up giving me a 300 series argon cylinder and charged me the price for a refill of a 125 cylinder. Since I had originally out right purchased the 125 cylinder in the past and not lease/rented, I get to keep the 300 size cylinder. Told me if you want you can downgrade to the 125 cylinder or just keep the 300 for now on. Thing is huge. Thats all for now, stay tuned!
