Question. I was thinking that it might be difficult to find an original part that will fit it there perfectly, given all the compound shapes in that area. I was also thinking that you are a stainless fabricator who can make pretty much anything he wants. Were you intending on making your own grilles?

If you are intending to make your own grilles anyhow, I can try working on a pair of custom grille shapes with any configuration you want. I'll just put the holes in there freehand with photoshop to try out a few configurations.

I just chopped that pic. You didn't miss it.

I will be making my own grills in some kind of split grill configuration.

Knock yourself out. This is getting interesting.

Thanks,

I think a lower hood suits the chopped top. Looks very sleek and menacing.

Thanks Johnny.

The IRS is from an 04 Cobra.
8.8'' with 3.55 Posi.

The spindles are from the same car and they originally had struts.
I had to do a little customizing there.

Looked at the rest of your post on hotrodders.com and your solution for castor adjustment is quite elegant. This keeps the upper arm from binding if you need alot of castor.
