I tried a piece of 18 gauge metal in the 3-1 today. It doesn't like it at all. It wouldn't shear it, but I did get it too bend it. I made it a point to get something done today. I decided to mount the condenser. I used the old cross braces off the core support for this. With a lot of measuring and head scratching I had a plan. My first one (drivers side) is not as pretty as my 2nd one. All done except for paint. I could finally remove my wood blocks. Looking for ideas of where the drier and lines should go HERE. I think the drier should go right behind the grill on front of the core support. I plan on running the lines thru the frame rail back to the cab.

I think when you get your brackets painted up and finished, it will be a very clean way to mount the condensor.

I didn't like having to reach behind the core support to get the nuts on the bolts for the braces. If I remember right there were some welded on nuts, but broke loose when I removed the cross braces. I brought home the "thread setter" it's metric, but it's the only one I have. It's great for installing nuts in and inaccessible area. For those that aren't familiar with it, it's basically a rivet gun. Just don't squese (sp) til it pops. If you do that, it pulls the threads out. The nut sert is on the gun ready for install. Here it is installed.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Are the nuts easy to find and buy locally or do you have to order them?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
One thing bad about the Nutzerts is if they aren't put in correctly they will spin after a bolt in installed, and you have to cut the head off to take apart what ever it is holding. I've seen a few. What a PITA. Other wise they are slick.

Shannon placed an order and this was my part of it. He's basically doing the same setup on his truck. Here's the carb line installed. I guess I need to move my heater outlet to the other side of the intake. I don't have the skill/ability to route the hard line around the water outlet. Things don't always go as planned. When I made up the fuel line the other day, I shouldn't have done the last bend. Lesson learned, have every thing in place before running hard line.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I just got my 37deg flair tool from matco. I like it. It is a different tool than most. It has a tee handle that clamps down on the line. The flair itself is fluted. but it is a single flair. I havent found any double flair type. I think the AN and the lines from the ls1 will work with that.
