Re: Project blue affair
Thanks guys!
Small update. Cut out the little bends in the bottom of the frame so it will sit flat on the frame. I'll make it look like I never cut it soon |

At first I had the compressors facing inward but I didnt like where it put the airlines in respects to the Exo mount brackets by the inlets on the tank. |

Re: Project blue affair
Thanks guys!
Got a few more things bolted on. The back half is pretty much all loosely bolted together. Once I get the wheels I will make sure its all square and set the pinion at the ride height I want. |
