Looks wicked awesome buddy. The new ride height is killer. Hey, is that a big vacuum reservoir you got a Stef's label on?

Tell Chris she missed a spot.

[John_Heard]

Thanks Mike - It's a little lower than I thought it would be, guess adding all that ballast and fuel dropped it down a bit more. That Stef's can is just a big puke tank for the vacuum pump

That's about all the more I have of it, I didn't take any of the radiator mount. All there is is a 1/2 ms tube running between the frame rails and the radiator bolts to that. There are braces running from the top of the radiator to the motor plate also (sirocco style radiator). I've removed all of the OEM radiator support at the bottom, all that is left is the small section at the top.

is it pretty sturdy
the only problem that i could think of was flex
im just needing to do is drop my radator down 1.5

It's very sturdy, but if you come down hard the radiator will bend the lightweight 1/2 tubing. Been there done that but it's no big deal to cut out and put a new one in there.

Thanks Adam... Too bad you have to work tomorrow night!

A1 - Haven't made any predictions, just hope to make some gas money! This is an all new setup that has basically no time on it yet, so I'll have my work cut out for me learning what it needs. I've got a 400 shot in it, single stage progressive to play with this time out.
