    Well, it's not like you will be taking it in and out. Once installed you can forget about that minor setback.

    I drilled holes in the 1X4 and used zip ties to hold them in place, Sorry I didn't read your question carefully enough.

    Yes, to keep them from sliding down, they give the material more support between the runners to keep the snow from putting too much weight on the cover.

    I have a similar setup and put some 1 X 4 between supports on the slope to prevent that. For me it prevented puddling, but in your case it will give it more support. Extra piece of mind

    It looks like you have two belts on it with the one closest to the block having a tensioner. I don't see a tensioner on the front belt.

    Thanks, It is a good thing that you pointed them the right direction which will also give it some type of cushion when opening fully. Great build!

    Nice job on the struts! Do you have enough room to flip them over? Looks tight to me.

    I found it easy to understand and calculate as long as you have a scale of some sort. Love your build btw

    How did you calculate the gas springs you need? I like this calculator https://www.dictator.nl/Downloads/EN/Reg.6/614-E-Selecting_and_Calculating_Gas_Springs.pdf

    That looks awfully close to the steering box. How much clearance do you have there?

    The lifters are designed to cut cylinders via deactivation while cruising on the highway (to improve Mileage) The Knock sensors cut back the timing if there is any detonation. keep up the great build!

    I hope the people you bought the K-Member from are taking note of the MAJOR improvement you made on their product. Great Fabrication Skills! I noticed then engine still has the knock sensors, are you keeping them on the motor along with the lifter parts?

    Nice, I used RX-7 Turbo calipers on mine and was able to use the stock e-brake cables with very little fabricating.

    Are you using the stock parking brake cables with your setup?

    Imagen that, no clearance issues with the oil filter since you made that change. Like the direction you are going.

    6.1 Hemi 69 Barracuda Fastback Father Son Project

    Me too! You have made it lighter, stronger and in my opinion, more eye appealing. Good job!

    QA1 should just do that to all future products. Your idea makes a lot of sense.

    Looking good, are you keeping the stock engine management system and wiring?
