JGS 50mm with the stock 5lb spring, think ima leave it with that spring and get an AMS 500 later, and use co2 for more pressure.


^^^this damn thing has been wearing me out bad, 33,000 lbs of steel at 500*F and me perched on a scissor lift right on top.


the top piece will locate the AC condensor and radiator as well as the hood latch which will also bolt to the lower piece, right at the top of the little bracket in the middle.

honestly i couldnt tell you, the turbo and WG came from Bryan Pavlock of Pavlock Performance. they were intended on his personal 383 street car but he changed his mind and decided to go Outlaw Drag Radial with the car so he sold me these New In Box. They could be a few years old they coulda been a few days old for all i know.

hopefully i can get something done with the car this weekend, i just got off work at 6am and have to be back by midnight sunday, and i got other **** to do lol. $

Im going to make aluminum panels to cover the whole underside from the front bumper to the front of the motor. all the factory plastic stuff is old and broken, the panels will mount to the bottom of the bracket, help keep the air going through the FMIC, Rad, and condenser, and not underneath the car. The lower bracket will recieve more this weekend, ive got a killer plan so stay tuned

also gonna mount a pull point to the bottom of the square tubing, that way when i blow the motor it will come in handy LMAO (thanks for the idea Fireball )

thanks for the kind words

thats not the only thing speeding things up lol. didnt get much done this weekend, decided to go out for a bonfire so i was a little hungover haha






acutually welded in a tube for the bolt to go through, that way it doesnt loosen if the frame rails flex or something, the bolt clamps tight. proud of this, it took a while too.

double post is killin me. on post #38 (2 posts up) in the first and second pic, the silver sharpie on the 1" square tubing is where the condensor and radiator will sit, and there is currently nothing under that strait edge, yet. ima tie the 2 sides together again just in front of the swaybar, just not sure how. the square tube seams over kill, but would look even and flow with the rest of the bracket. like a 3/16 or 1/4 round bar would do fine but aesthetically im a little worried. Opinions?
