copy a link if you can to the thread, if that doesn't work, what I do is right click on it, save it to my computer, open up a photobucket account, upload it there, then get the HTTM codes and copy/ paste it here. It sounds difficult, but if you have a photobucket account you can do this in prolly 3 minutes or so. If you can post a link, I can do it for ya.

Looks nice, Zack...Do you have acces to a welder? I still have that parts car, maybe we can cut out that stock radiator support and weigh it. Then get some scrap metal we think is enough, weigh it and see if there is a sufficient amount of difference...

Thats what i thought i could get some chrome moly tubeing and build my own, my buddy has a tubeing bender. i was thinking make this part of a bumper support bracket also for those who remove there bumper brackets. make it clean and free up some room and hopefully lighter and thanks for getting that pic up brad. probly just run a ram air set up in my new found space.

What size pipe is used in those two builds? Anyone wanna guess? I am thinking about 1.25'' .120 wall DOM and .375 .035 wall for the bumper mounts.
