Finally got the adapter, got everything together and was working on the rear mount/carrier I made and thought I would share some pics...

Yes, although not really needed yet. The engine doesn't droop any, even without the bar bolted up - just wanted a little insurance for the added HP.

Lookng good.

Are you going to have any badging on the outside to let the rest of the world what you have in there or are you going to make them figure it out the hard way.

Talking

Thanks Rob! I'm no where near pro level, this is home garage all the way! Up close, my welding skills leave a LOT to be desired in the looks deparment but they will definately hold up! I had a piece that I welded wrong and had to take it back apart...Whew! Glad to know it doesn't have to look pretty to hold together.
Up and running is still several months away, mostly because of budget (lack of budget).

BG, stealth all the way baby! If they don't get a clue from those meats out back, they deserve whats coming to them!
