Sry i don't have more pics but i will take more as i assemble the core support for the final time. I basically gutted the entire center and built a new frame with 1x3" square tubing. Welding to the thin core support metal sucked but overall it wasn't too bad, i'd recommend cutting out cardboard the shape of the intercooler then cutting the support until it can pass all the way through it. Then set the intercooler in place and build the frame around it.
I now have room for electric cooling fans in front of the radiator and i don't have to trim the grill or headlights.
For the hood latch just turn it 90 degrees so it clears the intercooler.
Good luck!
