  • the stainless for the downpipe was ordered last week.
  • the intake manifold. the back plate will be folded to mirror the front plate that has the runners going thru it. the ends and top will be boxed, with the carb on top.

    and what do you do when the traction bar set-up and the radiator want to occupy the same real estate?

    was just checkin this out on OCO. looks good. cant wait to see how the rad turns out.

    darin is having the same issue with his traction bar in his wagon. we decided to make a new traction bar and build it around the rad.

    master fabricator in the makings! I like where this is going
  • We talked about changing the angles, but thought notching the end tank made more sense with our situation. It also needed to go as far over as possible, since so much is being shoe-horned up front with the turbo stuff.

    I'm learning a lot watching Shiver perform his magic.
  • the big hole, and most of the small holes are filled. now to dress up the spot welds.

    Great work!

    I'd like to see more detail on the subframe connectors, was thinking of doing something similar on my lifted project.
  • thanks... I wont be going back to the shop til next week, but I'll try to get some decent pics. they are 1x2 box tube, tapered ends, and they had 2 pie sections cut out to follow the rail contour. with the left front jacked up, right rear down, and the other 2 off the ground, the doors open and close like its sitting flat. I was surprised at how much it helped. yes, I was a skeptic...
  • 11" front brakes aren't uncommon...

    more info on your rear disc set-up please!
  • the disc is off a 2000 maxima and redrilled. the adapter started as a piece of 2.5"x.75" cold roll steel. it was milled both front back. I think there is about 5 hours of mill time in that one side.
