    hey zach, i'm planning to put a design in the sheetmetal there. something that will look like it was done with a bead roller, but since i don't have one.... will be done the hard way.

    so today i got the cowl cut back in an attempt to get the motor lower, as well as making room for the radiator. i ended up cutting right about 2" into the cowl, and i brought the motor way down.

    here's how much it stuck up before. (i don't have a side shot)

    [​IMG]

    here's is where i cut it (still has to be welded, but the motors too damn heavy to move by myself)

    [​IMG]

    and where it will be mounted.

    i had to remove the a/c compressor. it pushed the motor 1" out of center because it hit the steering box. no biggie since there isn't any a/c ducting in the cab, and i'll just need to get a slightly shorter belt. tomorrow i'll fab up the mounts and get her set. then fab up a transmember and air it up for the first time in 9 months..... 1 month and a day till west coast nationals!!!!!!

    i have a metal brake!



    i tried like hell but it wouldn't bend them.. :(

    i took my 18" chisel and my 10lb sledge (my friend is borrowing my 6lb) and placed them in a piece of angle iron. a couple quick smacks and they bent..
