I'm not sure this is the book Don was referring to, but Vern Tardel is listed as one of the co-authors.....

I think that is the book that was referred to and it has a wealth of info in it. But

It won't address many of the issues here because it deals with a mostly stock frame and body.
With the frame kicked up on both ends and the body channeled over it is a whole different build.

This has all been done before and I'm sure some of the experts will help out.
I am much more familiar with the traditional build but just jumped in with a couple of observations.

The book is still well worth the $$ so don't hesitate to get it.
The more you can get your hands on to reference the better.

If you're "Z"ing a hose. so to speak, use a length of rectangular tubing for the vertical bit. Round the ends off to match the round tubes, or even use 1" X 2" rect. for 1 1/2" round and have a nice round end on the rect. that's bigger than the round stuff, so the hoses aren't sticking out past the "Z" bit. Not much more work, but a whole lot better looking!
By the way, you do know that the fan mount is inverted in your pics?
