    Cut the shock towers back this weekend, have to weld in the plates yet and fix some huge holes that someone put in the towers to access the UCA grease fittings. Working on custom shock tower braces and Monte Carlo bar.

    What a Great Day in Michigan Today!, a record High of 82!. I installed a Factory V-8 Rad. Shroud today on my Champion radiator. This should take care of the long stop and go overheating in parades and Shows. Started it for the first time this year ,and gave it a fresh wash and wash...Great Day!:thumbs2:
