I'll be honest, a piece of 1"x1"x1/8" wall square or round tube going straight across would be SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than this part you have fabbed and installed.

He is doing everything to get it running, then will be bringing back for me to plumb in the twin turbos and finish the center console with radio/switches. I will update when we get there
 
Daiuuum...bad ass!
Gotta redo radiator mounts and such, he wanted turbo mounted there so gotta move things forward. This gonna be a beast!

Will that change how the grill mounts and the looks of the front or will it all fit inside and look normal?

nope, it will still look normal. Now, you will still be able to tell it's an "aftermarket" radiator behind the grill obviously but everything on front end will still bolt on. I'm thinking he's going to go with some aftermarket front clip though if I remember correctly.
 
Yep. I'd imagine it'll be right in front of the radiator.

That’s a very short nosed car, not much room at all much less moving the radiator forward. I’m interested to see.

Yep. If they arent intending to stretch the nose its going to get interesting.

Thats a traditional radiator location. And hood catch is in front of it.
The current radiator config has the radiator sitting on the hood latch - maybe full fiberglass nose?

But if you look in the lower right you can see how tight the grill is to the rad support (sorry only photo i have on my work pc)

This is gonna be tight

Yea, I’ve been in and around a few. And after doing twins on my huge 60 impala I know how rooms goes quickly
 
Hes doing a custom fiberglass bumper kit but the stock front clip does fit with everything inside of it cut out lol. I like how my bracketry turned out, customer loves it so I'm happy that he's happy.

I know my table didn't do the lettering that good but it still looks great, he loves it!
 
Make sure you post pictures when it’s all together please. As long as the customer is happy you should be happy. But strive to do better. JMHO
