Ah, the location on the rad had me confused.

Sweet project....looks like something I would want to do when I retire. Make sure you don't leave any beer bottles in weird places.

RusMan 06-27-2007 05:34 PM

Love it, love it, love it. Great progress so far, can't wait to see more!

akaryrye 06-27-2007 06:22 PM

thats really cool stuff man, I wish I had the time, tools, skills, knowhow, etc to bust out a project like that. I am only just getting comfortable with some of the more simple things at this point :)

Awesome skills, and awesome buildup. Dont want to be nit-picky but shouldn't you have welded the front support beams on before cutting the radiator support in half... you might have to get the frame aligned now that you did do it that way.

Nope, took measurements pre and post... identical. That area of the frame just wasnt under enough stress with the motor being suspended and everything up on jackstands.

Just got home... I'll post more pictures tomorrow morning.

uhhhh....just a little badass....

cjernigan 06-28-2007 10:33 AM

Man that's kick ass. Are you going to paint/coat the intake mani at all? It's badass but it would look good in black or polished(who the fuck has time).

It's all looking sick though. I want to see how you attach the IC and IM though. Piss on you for no DP pictures.

GTS Miata 06-28-2007 10:37 AM

Sweet! Keep the pictures coming!

I need to learn how to weld...

y8s 06-28-2007 10:42 AM

lookin good. -AN oil drain?

Splitime 06-28-2007 10:50 AM

Yah, using steel AN stuff for it. Can have it made up at a farm supply shop. Measure... tell him fittings and boom SS lines for cheap.

m2cupcar 06-28-2007 10:53 AM

Looks like there's plenty of room for a/c parts! ;) Very crafty! :bigtu:
