Whats happening Steeps/Sunny Z ! Yeah, I think my set up will be scrapped ! I wish I new how to weld but I suck at it. I'm going to have to get a local guy to build me something based off of truck manifolds. Previous owner cut the wastegate part off at almost the base to sell it.

Got the upper radiator mount and some chassis stiffening done today. For ease of removal and general clean look i went with the same heim joint cross bar. I would have mounted the radiator mount higher in the engine bay but the intercooler piping is blocking it. This is as high as i could possibly get it and it works great. I can actually pull the fenders 1/2" closer just by tightening the bar.. I still need to clean it up and have it powder coated.
Thanks for the chassis idea STEEPSS

Getting some cosmetic stuff done while I'm waiting on the motor. Shouldn't be long now, just talked to Eric and the cam tunnel is being bored out a little. Couple bearing where spun. I also need a new cam as my 228r took a beating. Any suggestions are welcome, I have t decided between PAT G/LIL John/Martin
Here is the front bumper. I decided to bring the front end up to date. I already have projectors/HID's so this was the likely move. No more big *** ugly amber turn signals.
