Good progress dude! I like how you did the fuel lines, I might copy you haha.

Do it!!
More progress:
Made the coolant reservoir bracket, and realized I bought the wrong T-fitting for my coolant system, derp. I will be running the "live" cooling system in hopes it will further decrease the chances of coolant cavitation and keep air out of the system, who the hell knows it it'll work but we'll see!
And modified the sway bar, this is pretty scary honestly, but I ran it by the girlfriend who is a mechanical engineer and she is not worried about it, so if it breaks I can yell at her for it! Haha.
The sway bar needed to be extended toward the ground so it would clear the oil pan, while I was doing that I figured I'd get the PBM sway bar brackets as well.
First and biggest issue is when done the sway bar sits inboard toward the frame more, so I needed to extend the sway bar link, I don't particularly like the idea of extending the bolt, so I welded a nut to the end of the sway bar and ran another one in front of it as a locking nut.
Next was extending it downward
And the sway bar strength deal that PBM sends with their kits, not sure why the angles look so weird on this picture, but it's straight haha
and the end result, clearance wise
I started making the exhaust, but ran out of argon for the welder... more next week
