yah it clears... i got the highest side on the top and the lowest side on the bottom..... basically drew a line across / <<< like that from the bottom point to the top point....

... about the welds... i have no idea how to weld small lol there about 1/4 size

so not to huge... i do however have two welds on the bottom that are about 3/8 big....

this happened because of a mad gap between the aluminum pieces which was my error LMAO... sooooo i just made the weld huge to cover it up hahahahahaah its ok though cuz that part is hidden.....

im done

Coolant level... btw the blue stuff aint coolant its gatorade hahhahahha i put water but you couldnt really see the level when you took a pic....

it was a labor of love and lots of times where i thought it wouldnt work

but it bolts up perfectly... had to take my z to my shop on sunday just to make sure...

all thats missing is its gonna get powdercoated either black chrome or a polished aluminum look powdercoat
