Well The package finally arrived today !
Funny thing too...
Somebody PM'd me tonight asking if my car is still for sale,LOL!
"I told him everything is for sale for the right price !" and sent him this link,LOL !
Think it will scare him off "IF" when he sees this thread?

Looks like there is nothing to hold you back now Stacy. We expect to see photos of the installation progress every day......or week, as the case may be. And I want a ride in that beast later this year.

Sent you a PM !
I now that you may grow bored with some of the posts but I am just trying to show the steps taken to help out.I have been asked to do it !
Sorry if it becomes mundane !
I am being extremely careful,I try to only do a couple hours at a time,methodically thinking things out!
I am also trying to offer VF(Delius) some helpful hints about labelling parts to make the installation for the typical guy to install,easier!
Whether they listen to me or not who knows,but,let's face it....if you could save a few thousand dollars doing the install yourself,wouldn't you !
Plus all the enjoyment of doing it yourself!
You guys think your adrenaline pumps when you race,try this install,LOL!
Anyway,cleaned up some parts,took some inventory,layed out the hoses and installed the center radiator today!
Here is how I am trying to get them to label the hoses,otherwise,I may have spent a lot more time trying to figure them out (Thanks to Synergy racing fo doing this upon the un-install of Jared's car).

If you keep documenting each step this way, YOU can make the installation instructions available to others, for a nominal fee of course.
BTW, you make me nervous doing all this work with nothing protecting your car. Why not throw some sheets or blankets over it to protect that gorgeous black paint?
Keep it coming Stacy.

You should have seen it after building the sideskirts and it was perfect when done,LOL!
When I say "careful" I mean it,I move like a snail around this car!
I will however probably apply masking tape and blankets along the rear fenders when installing the charger but for now I am under the car so not much risk!

Those hose on tight corners have a tendency to kink... I took my hoses apart where there were significant kinks and used Goodyear EZ coils... I wish they used this as a standard with this kit... highly recommended by the front radiators, the run going to the engine bay and the water pump area... If you need pics let me know.
Its alot easier to do this now than later..
