Nice work, and thanks for sharing your progress. How much did you have to "massage" your shock tower to get the hydraulic cylinder to fit? Did Keisler mention that part in the instructions?

I'm considering the same kit for my car, but I'm not too excited about denting up the freshly painted engine bay.

Thanks!

thanks! to be honest i can't remember if anything was mentioned,i'll check if i think about it. i found a piece at work with about a 3/4 radius nose on it,put a piece of rubber under it and whacked it with a sledge hammer! pretty backwoods,but it worked. with the motor out,it would be alot easier. i think if i were you i would decide on a kit a fit everything now. your 'cuda looks sweet in the avatar!
