I had bought the flaming river rack and cradle but the cradle was 1/2" short and right in the of my lower radiator hose. So I built a whole new cradle. I also got my Dakota Digital dash and had to order the new Ride Tech sway bar as well as a second rear upper control arm.

Yes the cover is touching the brake assist/master cylinder and it's touching my alternator on the passenger side. I have plastic cut off wheels for my dremel so I've been cutting it out so that it looks like was made for it.

I haven't been working on the car due to trying to buy a house. I also have been going around talking to upholstry shops as well as paint shops! It's going to cost me more than I thought so I am trying to save up.
