just fit in a front cross brace right below where the radiator wil be

and pimped up the underside with some embossed

Red Foreman · 07-09-2012, 06:36 PM

Your workmanship is incredible!

**oldman3** · 07-09-2012, 08:07 PM

Like the chevy bowties in the cross brace....Jim

4 link in place and tag welded the diff. housing in place

Looking real nice.

Nice clean accessory bracket installation on the engine. Too many of the aftermarket systems seems to be over done and wanting to show off the brackets rather than the engine. Frame is looking very cool too.

hotrod1 · 07-15-2012, 08:30 PM

Very nice. How did you emboss that cross member with the bow ties?

seanery · 07-17-2012, 07:02 PM

wow! very nice work! I have a friend who lives in Hellevoetsluis, it seems high quality work is a standard trait for the Dutch! He does beautiful things to Porsches.
