Thanks John, I guess you just answered my question about the group order. Now I'm wondering what they would charge me to make one with a wider u channel rotated 180 degrees and that has the flanges running past the radiator tubes like I sent a link http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=BCI%2D60100&N=700+300241+115&autoview=sku picture of a while back. click on the enlarge tab. I suppose though it would change the entire design too much. I really can't imagine it would be that much more difficult to weld, actually it would be easier because the flanges or legs of the channel are not in the way?? Any way let me know.
