Foglights cover that. If you have working foglights, you don't have to have working headlights.

That's o.k. though, because you're going to cut everything off that you already did and put the turbo in the middle, so then you can put your foglights back in, then just put 2 small radiators on the sides.

Problem solved

Yup... but it's gonna take so damn long to finish at the rate I'm going I have to live thru you guys

**** I won't see the track again from behind the wheel probably for another 3 years at the rate things are going But, it's my choice, I absolutely refuse to race on a credit card. If I wanted to be an ***, I'd have it done tomorrow.

People forget, with turbo cars, you don't have to yank the plugs after every pass to replace them

Dont worry bro. I am right there with ya. Busy shop, Pregnant wife, I finaly Kid on the way, life in general. I am right with ya on no cedit card race cars this time around. I live through my customers. I am buying a new Dodge Cummins Quad cab before finishing the car. I am just gonna pay cash for the truck. Dont want monthly payments.

As always FireBall, pimp *** work bro. Looking stellar.

I just bought this part spring an 08 CTD 2500 4x4 ram. Funny that you mention that. I did the loan though.. but at 3.5% it was like WTF I'm not emptying out my savings when I can get an interest rate that low.

So, I mail my 600 a month on it, so I can pay the 5 year loan off in about 3.5 But... I'd rather do that then have no $ in the bank, these days with the way the job market is, I don't want to have zero safety barrier.

The header came out good Brian... definitely need some tig lessons from you turbo guys. If I could tig that good, I'd have bought one already and a tubing bender and would be in the garage right now.
