I also love the center tunnel mod!
Be sure you use SS tubes. I contemplated welding in stainless steel tubes in my setup. May still do that. Ifin you do do that I would suggest that you add another layer of steel between the cabin and the tubes and put some insulation in there or at least some kind of heat barrier. If the tubes are held off the steel 1/2" then the radiant heat should be much better. |

Im going back and forth on Insulation sleeve vs enough air gap. If the lines hang down a little it wont bother me. I figure keep the strapping semi flexible and some air gap/shock in case i do bump the bottom of the car. |
