Finished Superstructure
This is the final version but it needs final welding and the addition of the strut mount plates. Their may be one or two more triangulating bars, but this should suffice till the kinks are worked out...

Well, I have a plan. That isn't to say it will work, but I have a bunch of space behind the spare tire area. I have a guy who will make me an aluminum radiator that is 8" high, but 26" wide and I think 3 cores. With ducting from a lip under the front end, I hope to have enough airflow to keep things cool at speed. I'm also going to have a spring loaded section of the lip that pops down to gather more air as the air pressure builds up on it. And finally, I have 3 8" electric fans for stop and go traffic.
From the looks of it, you'll have some cooling issues to get squared away too! Great work. Jason

Do you know anyone in the US who can get it made for you and then send it to you as a "gift" therefore bypassing the tax ? Just a thought.
