I spent Easter weekend installing my Skinny Kid motor plate kit. This was one of the more ambitious projects I've taken on, and I'm so wiped out that I'm going to let the photos speak for themselves.

I'm still trying to decide what to do, but I'm leaning towards fabricating some 6061 aluminum stock as a spacer for the K-member - at least that will be a breeze to remove now.
Looks very nice!
Looking good!

Thanks Gents...I'll tell you though, I'd rather be racing.
How about offset rack bushings...use them to lower the rack a bit?
Thanks - I'm already using them. I ended up fabricating some 1/2" aluminum spacers to get the bucket rolling. The long term solution was to order an AJE K-member with 1.5" dropped steering rack mounts. That should be finished in a couple more weeks.
