here i was wayy bored.
I just bent it over. I used a number of different tools to "assist" in the bending to try and not break it. I would bend it and let is sit for a day or two, then bend it more... lol I wore safety glasses every time, didn't want to freeze an eye ball.....lol
ANYWAY.....

Haha thanks, I found that as well. His lines look just line mine, where some peoples are not like that to begin with. I might bend it in the same direction as he did as well. Seems that a lot of other people than bent it towards the passenger fender rather than towards the motor.

Well I failed on taking pictures seeing I forgot my camera but I did get a lot done this weekend. I got all the hot pipes all done, got the cold pipes and intercooler mounted on the truck too. I also got the driveshafts in and all set with my new carrier bearing bracket.
Some problems we ran into were the radiator overflow tank wouldnt work in stock location seeing the turbo was a little too big
I looked at a few pics and took the idea from Wilde and mounted it like his.
I am hoping that all the fabbing is done and its just reassembly like adding fluids, installing the intake mani, powersteering/alt and other little odds and ends. I hope to work on it next weekend and possibly here it run for the 1st time in over a year!! Lots of work still to be done on the interior as gauges and other little stuff that is just time consuming.
Seeing the big *** turbo sittin in there and all the cold pipes with the intercooler mounted really is big motovation to keep going.
