Ready To Mount Intercooler
Hahaha... I like using your pics because they are clear, your car is clean and you show enough detail to let people know important fitment details. Some pictures I've seen look like the cars were sprayed with light crude, then pulled behind a pickup down a dirt road. Thanks again for providing those pictures awhile back.
You might want to consider one of these items, looks like there building the LT1 camaro unit very soon.

I need some pics of the actual mount locations, like where the brakcets are...especially from people using the ebay intercooler kit....
Also, do you guys put anything behind the intercooler to kinda like cushion it or something? Or do you put it right against the metal of the support bar....

This 'might' help...This was the initial mockup and it was too high. Bringing the top of the intercooler support bracket even with the top of the steel support behind it seemed to be perfect. The bottom of the intercooler is still long enough to distort the nose lower lip a little but it's not bad.

I used spacers to stand the intercooler off the steel bumper support by about 1/4 Inch. There are two relatively big holes predrilled in the steel bumper at approximately the correct width for the OBX intercooler/brackets I utilized.. Just vertically align your bolt holes above/below those holes and you will have a good starting point for lining up the intercooler brackets.
This is the way it looks with the intercooler positioned even with the steel support and the nose on.

And thanks Nick...hahah
Here's what you can do to see it better (I think this is what you want...) Right click that picture above, select "Save Picture as" and save it to some directory on your PC/Laptop where you can find it with a name you recognize. Save it as type ".jpg". Now click, "Start", "RUN" and type in Explorer and click "Ok". Navigate to the picture you saved and double click that picture (intercooler12.jpg on my laptop). It 'should' bring the picture up in windows 'picture and fax viewer' by default. In this utility, there is a capability to zoom in on the picture my merely double clicking on the image it presents. If the double click doesn't work there are icons at the bottom of the viewer that let you zoom in/out.
thanks dave!!
Yeah Im going to cut into the support, and drill the holes for the top to be bolted to it, then run my piping through the battery tray and intake side
Just got to figure out how to support the bottom

yeah i thought about doing that like finding a spot after everything arrives. going to order my griffin soon, so I have to mount the IC, my trans cooler, and the radiator...
I heard Ohioboost makes a readiator to fit in the stock location without cutting, but they never replied back to me
