You don't need an opening as big as original grill opening.(nothing close) The insert is probally the best bang for the buck mod a 112+mph L can have. I know it's tough to do, but stick your head out the window at 112mph +........................ Then open your mouth. Ed

Thanks Buddy, If you ever need anything call. If you like Charlies lowers you got um. I sold my L and Brenda and I are in the Deli buissness.(world class) B&E is no longer. Still got all CNC programs and molds and what ever. Still racing, 557 88 notch IHRA. I'll be back, looking at 2000 NHRA Pro Stock ranger right now. You and Charlies hoods look good, I had a 8 1/2" Pro 5.0 style hood started that was insane, same round features as L, and ended 1/4" from windshield. What ever. Later. Ed Johnny what the hell you doing up so late?

Johnny,we talked about a belly pan in the past. No need. Put nose on ground w/ vented rollpan. Makes it tuff to load on trailer but I'm sure you can figure somethig out.(or Sue) Ed
