well finaly got to get some work on my car insted of everyone elses stuff.
core support getting more complicated by the minute.
brand new radiator lets cut it apart.

cut nipples off to re oriantate them to make the hoses cleaner.also added steam line 1/4 pipe fitting,and another for the petcock fitting.welded tabs on to hold it in place.
modifications to a/c condensor include removing orig mounting tabs and line blocks and weled new mounting tabs and fittings for the new lines.



this is what the new stack up looks like befor it goes in the car.I hope I measured this right because this is going to be tight.!

decided to pull the front suspension out to make some modifications to the a arms to get the bags to stop rubbing when down all the way.ended up scoring a new set of a arms brand unknown off of ebay.$ 125 for all 4 shipped! top ones are very nice quality . the bottoms on the other hand... well lets just say wtf???were they thinking.still think it will be easier to modify the new ones rather than the old ones.Also ordered some drop spindles not for the purpose of lowering rather just to add strength to the wimpy factory spindles.turns out there are two low with the suspension all the way up I am about a 1/2 under my ride height.not alot of productivity going on here..
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


check this out this is the new a arms with the spindle on it. works great just can't steer either direction more than a 1/4 inch either way.wtf!!!

trying to make progress but being pulled in every direction and not getting the time to work on my car.The core support has been kicking my azz.I thought the piping for the turbos would be the hard part,this however is proving to be a huge challenge.

A little bit of everything. shear,tin snips right and left cut,hand nibbler,and a power nibbler that I have been working on this contraption for years just had a chance to use it on the center hole and it works!
