The coolant tubes are 1.5"x.120 HREW sitting inside 3/16 rect slider. This is one of 3 methods ive come up with, we'll see how well this works.

I was thinking about doing the same thing on our race rig and now I know I will. Thanks

Rokcrler1 · Dec 17, 2006

Ok... so its crunch time...
Got the steering mounted and plumbed... man its tight there..

Got the computer mounted and wired up, the coolant lines run (just need hoseclamps) and mount the radiator.

Shock hoops and shocks done.. upper spring brace done...

Now all thats left is driveshafts and nut/bolt whole rig.
Damn i wish someone had a cloning maching nearby...
