Message	i was try it keep the bracket from wearing on the paint.. thats the reasoning behind the first bracket... but i found some delrin tape i had baught a while back, so the new bracket will mount to the two bottom holes where the cruis control mounts and where the fuel filter bracket mounts and will extend up to the current hood shock mounting point... still looking symmentrical, while removing the fender mounting point... should have it done and mounted by next week. thanks everyone for the input! Best run: 1.60 60', 11.319 @ 120.65 mph - 118 octane fuel (on 100 octane tune), 22 degrees of timing, 21-22 psi boost, 11 psi tire pressure (street slicks). "..know your car better... RACE IT!.. AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.." "Drag racing is for fast cars... Autocross is for fast drivers... Drifting is for cheap tires..." I made up the last one..
