It definitely cleans up the bay a bit, as well as making room for a hefty turbo!

Looking it over, seems they are spot welded. Wonder how hard it is to get those brackets off?

You talking about the cross member, the brackets, or both?

This from personal experience?

Thanks.

Yea I was looking it over. I just got back from lowes, picked up some new drill bits to drill out the welds, and a new grinder.

Picked up some 1/8th" steel plating and some round tube from a buddy for free.

Gonna start working tomorrow on it in fact.

I'll post up pics as I start and progression for other guys.
