Welded and done! Just need motor mounts and its time for plumbing and wire! I think I might add a bend to the upper cross bar though, I am not sure about it being different, I decided to bend the lower bar and it looks cool like that but I don't know about them being different..

I like the bent lower bar.  but depending on the mount for the rad, you may want to keep the straight one for a bit?  Other things to concentrate on right now to get it working. 

Tick tock, tick tock.

   keep the the top bar straight.  With the bottom bent and the top one straight it looks good.  Bottom one will be a good one to weld a pull tab too. Or a trailer hitch. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Sleep? LOL! I am QUICKLY running out of time so I have resorted to working late into the night now!, That little mount was a pain! I couldn't figure out how to make it look decent and still be removable so that's what I came up with. Tonight its drivers side mount and intake hopefully!!
