You made that? That is pretty sweet! What type of steel/gauge is it made of?
Looks like it will be fun

i like the way the radiator is completely tucked away with what looks to be very minimal trimming of the core support...very nice

The radiator was a 31 x 19 shelf unit, it was around 280, and we cut the endtanks off and fabbed new ones out of aluminum, as far as temps go i dont know yet still have a lot more work to do. I actually cut the bottom stock support out and made drop brackets so it would scoop its own air without the air dam here is a pic from underneath

Harlen not to sidetrack the thread, I remember you saying something about relocating or changing the underhood fuse boxs/harness. I was curious how you handled that. By the way your symetry is so gorgious it hurts

Great!

I see that tucked-away/recessed radiator approach is really going great for you guys.

What intercooler?

looks good. I like the tucked radiator as well. Better wrap that thing though. Not sure about the closeness of your throttle box there.
