Looks great! Are the two sides of the radiator cover/ bracket connected at all anymore?

Where's your IAT sensor and where did you get the battery tray cover?

looks good... you can get the battery cover from corvette central... I bought it from their ebay auction store but you can get it directly through them also... that was the cheapest place I could find it but it's still an overpriced piece of plastic

Unless you have two BOVs you should really move that one to before the IC

i have a dewitts cutdown rad and there spal fan setup but it is the stock shroud that i cut and trimmed to fit. the intercooler cover is the stock a&a that i trimmed to fit the 4" intake, i then painted it with wrinked black paint. works great

I want to do this but I am afraid of the work involved. I already have a full size dewitts radiator and I hear nightmares about how hard it is to get the 4 inch intake in and I don't want to buy a new radiator.

I did a half arsed write up on this a while back..

With the full size rad you'd have to modify the cradle to clear. You could always buy the cut down Dewitts and sell yours. Might be less of a hassle. With the cut down there's plenty of space.

Yeah I did it with a stock radiator. Would love to have a cut down radiator but kinda out of the budget, unless I get into over heating in the summer.
