I think its just how it lined up after the tube chassis was finished, dont quote me on that though

Usually it is to accommodate a larger radiator than you normally could vertically.

This is kind of correct, we built the tube chassis in mind of tilting the Rad..

And this is very correct and one of the reasons why we picked to tilt the Rad and also allow us more room up top..

Om1kron · 10-27-2011, 02:29 AM

everything looks great dude, glad to see another meticulous member on the site. I'm seriously considering joining the dark side and dropping the turbo life for a smog legal ls swap.

4-20sx · 10-27-2011, 11:56 AM

Do it om1kon! Lolz

Brok3n_RB25 · 10-28-2011, 12:02 PM

So, you're pretty much my hero now. Haha. I've been looking at ditching my RB for an LS for the past couple of months, and you're using all the parts that I want to use. I'm excited to see how everything turns out for you, and I'll definitely be messaging you in the near future for some help. If you don't mind me asking, what part of Texas are you from? I just got a job offer in El Paso, but I've heard mixed reviews about that place.

1jzjoey · 10-28-2011, 01:51 PM

if you dont mind me asking what do you do for a living? looks like your making bank, sign me up

Tearlessj · 10-28-2011, 02:17 PM

If you don't mind me asking, What is a estimate for that cage? I noticed you didn't price it in the build.

Ash · 10-28-2011, 10:32 PM

Love your build, quality work!

What do you do for a profession? Did you learn all your engine assembly etc yourself?

Thanks bro for the kind words... Yeah bro you can message me when ever about any questions.. And sorry that you are moving to El Paso

... My wife's grandma used to live there so we would visit from time to time.. That is not a fun place. But that is just my opinion

I will post up the amount of the cage and font tube stuff once it is all said and done.. So be on the look out for that. Wanted to wait till the end so I have a total cost of that stuff for you guys..

Thanks bro.. Like I said I work for RackSpace doing IT work... But been involved in cars all my life. Self taught on the engine assembly stuff. As long as you take your time and do your research you should be good to go.
