   i was thinking of scraping off the seam sealer, and putting down a nicer bead. looks like they painted over the sealer- so if i did that, i'd have to repaint the cowl. hence my question to you guys...

I am not a purest for them,  I like a clean look.  I would of already cut that crap off. but I'm sure you will get 10 post telling you to leave it alone.

Great looking build so far.

EXACTLY!!! i like the clean look as well. from what i've seen on here, everyone seems to be painting the cowl black. however, i thought of something cool last night. the factory didn't paint it black, it appears to be a gray-ish color. maybe i'll refinish it in that same color to give it a cool contrast to the black hardware and cowl screens.

it should be your TATA color silver.  you car is to nice to change any thing on it. I would clean it up , but put it back to the OE color.  something little like that color change will be a modification at the t/a Nats.
but she's yours and I'm cool with what ever you do with it.  she's a beauty

It looks very good I would like to see how it looks with the TATA silver color on the cowl area;)

fuel delivery...

[jphillips3333]

A blower requires increased fuel delivery .... or maybe it's going to be a fuel injected monster, eh?

[SnapOnBilly]

you'll find out in January. meanwhile it's painting the firewall and putting the frame back together.

[Frode_skj]

twin turbo? and fuel injection?
