I'll be there from weds through Monday. But I'll have no street legal rig to cruise around so if they would be willing to bring them to sand hollow I can bring em back for ya.

its off center cause it's upside down and it couldn't be moved over more due to the steering box being there. i chose to mount it upside down to make accessing the free spool lever 1000x easier without cutting a huge hole in the front plate. the tolerances at which its mounted are extremely little. and i couldn't turn left cause the whole frame broke on the DS and the steering box was sepperating off the frame with all 3 bolts still connected to it.

ha ha yup they need more support. if they survive sand hollow (which i doubt) there is gonna be a bar going under the hood tied to a engine cage as well as a support from the slider to about where the bend is. i just didn't wanna do that yet since after turkey weekend i'm doing the boatsides and a few other things, and didn't wanna have to redo to much unless it was needed.
