The firewall looks incredible with the beads and the smooth fields.... very nice! Also the truck will definitely handle better with the engine further back, its basically moving the center of gravity more towards the middle of the truck (which they need desperately) instead of a 75/25 offset typically. So it should be a real nice driver when you are done.
