Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

To mount the intercooler, I need to remove the rad support X bracing and chop some metal out of the vertical supports.

To fit the AC Condenser, I need to move the rad back an inch.

To mount the Turbo, I need to decide if I want to go mild steel or stainless on the crossover, and if I want to go 2.5" or 2.25" (though it may not really matter). And decide how I want to clear the PS pump and reservoir.

So.... I spent some time today tidying the shop, and staring at everything.

And removing the end links of the 9" axle's sway bar so I can see where they need to go.

And exciting news, the driveshaft arrived. 1350 ends and high-speed balanced, from Bear's Performance out of Ontario.





And I -will need to take the cab off and cut some more out of the frame to fit this.
