Thanks Pat, you 'snuck' in your post while I was replying! Yes, my radiator/grill shell was already moved forward 1 3/4" at the bottom in order for the Billet Specialties front alt, water pump, a/c bracket to fit {sore subject as I didn't realize this was done UNTIL I tried to fit the hood sides on! Now I see WHY the builder didn't 'have time' to put my hood sides on! PLUS I didn't like paying $1900 dollars for a bunch of aluminum when $50 dollars worth of steel would have gotten the job done! Whew, thanks for listening, vent! vent! } Anyway, so the radiator is already forward 1 3/4" at the bottom. I will not run my hood top & just push the radiator forward at the top 1 3/4". My headlight mounts are also my shock mounts so they aren't in the way. And if necessary I can even move my radiator/grill up a little more. What I'm trying to NOT have to do is move my firewall back. I can do {at least I have the ableity to do, motivation is the only thing that will hold me back} the project myself w/o moving the firewall back. If I have to do this I will be in over my head. Not saying I can't do it, just that it will be something that I know nothing about! Thanks again Pat, Bill
