take it as you will but i would before you weld that off bolt it to the table, your two points of the cross bar will draw in the legs. since you have no support at the mount bar where it attaches to the trucks frame it will draw the legs in

either add another crossmember for temp or bolt it to a fixture to prevent the drawing of the legs


but that looks pretty cool, i had plans of just doing it all bent but that makes it simple for sure

Yea, I got it all braced up tonight. I need to go get my argon bottles filled, not sure I have enough to finish this thing up.

I got it welded up and mounted and it flexes just a hair more than I want. So I made these bullets that mount with the bolt that holds the rack. I'll triangulate down to that and it should be very strong.

looking good! You know you could have saved even more weight changing out the whole front Suspension to the mustang II style stuff.
I'll post up some pics in a couple weeks what mine looks like. I'm currently waiting on the crossmember to be built then I'll start cutting out stuff

If I put it together right now i'm guessing it would come in at 3900 ready to race and 3760 without me in it.

I had no idea how much boost it would make when I first put it together. After that first pass I looked at the log and it said 30+ psi............I'm pretty sure the head gaskets were hurt from day one. lol
