thanks! to be honest i can't remember if anything was mentioned,i'll check if i think about it. i found a piece at work with about a 3/4 radius nose on it,put a piece of rubber under it and whacked it with a sledge hammer! pretty backwoods,but it worked. with the motor out,it would be alot easier. i think if i were you i would decide on a kit a fit everything now. your 'cuda looks sweet in the avatar!
