my house is a hip roof so it was a pain and I had to cut most of the sheets. but your main steel panels will be precut. It took me about 50 work hours to do it myself. from shingles to final seam chalk. but it has shown me im not as young as I once was. lol.

Nice job on the roof, did you skin it first, or lay the panels over the shingles. Was thinking of
doing mine in steel.

What intercooler did you go with? You ever seen anyone route over the rad with stock placement in one of the verticals?

Check it. He used one similar to what you’re taking about.

I used a treadstone, but it’s a side inlet/outlet vertical flow.

Fits well.
