Prepping the front trunk before we cut the hole in the nose.

Did this exact same bracing

I’m not cutting a big hot air exit hole - using the stock openings that have the round plates glued down. I just felt better about strengthening up the metal that connects the two mounts for the front suspension. A lot of people add a lot of metal to the back but seem to neglect the front.

Jared made the big box. It will hold the a/c condenser, the oil cooler and fan pack

Just catching your thread Mark, looks like you have a great GT project! So it took a couple years to get it on track again, so what! It's going now and I'll be rooting for you all the way.

I see some fond memories too, center e-brake, that fabricated shroud for A/C /Oil cooler, John Bell gages, all really good stuff!! And, I can really relate to the parts stash hunt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I got my GT Tribute on the road in 2018 and it seems like only yesterday.

Please keep the pictures coming.

I remember when Rolland had it for sale and I made the mistake of not buying it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Probably on the bulkhead in front of the fuel tank. The CR unit comes with a mounting bracket.

Jared has made some adjustments to the big box. I think we are almost there.
