Would it save you room to re-route the upper radiator hose to in front of the alternator instead of behind like it does from the factory?

No need. I bent the water neck up a bit and the hose is still above the compressor. The intake pipe is going to take up space infront of the alternator.:D

Cool, I didn't know if you needed the space there. I was seeing it going out of the radiator, to the right, then down, over to the inlet tube, and then right & up.

Keep the pictures coming.

I've got a bunch of new parts and I need to get some other parts. Going to have to hit up my buddies at the muffler shop for some more bent tube for the intake. I've got a good majority of the parts now to finish it up. Just need to get over this damn cold and get back out into the shop.

I'll be getting a bunch of the intake piping today along with a few other misc parts. Going to try to get the exhaust finished off soon then it can come off and get fully welded.

Waiting to hear back from a couple of guys for some oddball parts. If things keep up then in a Month or less.

This shit ain't easy if you want it to look decent, and takes time to fabricate.
