That door panel looks nice..

Once you get your race number you should have it stamped real big in the center of that door panel

Lookin good man, can't wait to see this thing finished.

Well I'm back at it, but I don't think I'm going to make the last race of the year in Parker. Work has been pushing me farther behind. My goal now is to make it to the December MORE race for a good shake down before starting the first Jeepspeed race in 2011.

I got a package from my friends at Brown Dog Off Road. Its was there new driver side engine bracket. This bracket uses 8 screw holes on the block. It is very beefy.

Mounting the engine bracket was easy. All the screws lined up perfectly.

Looks beefy!

I finished tying in the motor mounts to the cage.
Passanger side

Driver side was a little busy with steering, brake lines and the intake, but it turned out good.

I had to notch the motor mount frame perch gusset to clear the steering shaft.

 

[Larrythedog]

I found this cooler in the boneyard. I dont remember what the exact make or model, but it was a full size truck.

 

[Larrythedog]

How is the radiator going to sit down?

The radiator will sit about 1/2" higher then stock. It clears the bottom of the radiator. I'll be installing the radiator tonight and I'll post some more pictures.

Is that a 3rd mounting point on the tab on the top of the cooler?

Nice install on that. Very well protected.

Yea, Its one of the OEM mounts. It hade a nice snap-in rubber bushing on it.

Nice install on that. Very well protected.

Thanks. Its 5052 aluminum sheet 1/16" thick. Stay away from the 6061 aluminum its too brittle and will crack when you bend it.
