I started playing around with exhaust ideas and come to the conclusion that i'm going to have to modify the 93 down tube and run on the outside of the frame rail. This will force me to cut my inner fender and fab up somthing to fill the hole if necissary. I also have the hydro boost bolted up and only have a few issues to clear up there. I also need to determine if I need to shave my duramax fan as its damn close to the very front x-member on the frame, or shave the x-member. So far things have started moving along again and my buddy thinks we should be ready to fire it up in a few weeks to make sure the engine runs. I'm thinking that if we fire it in January, I'm doing good. I should have some new pics of engine mounts, hydroboost and other up soon.

Yeah, I figured out that exhaust problem myself! I did give me a good excuse to fab up a full 4" exhaust system!
