I've got a thread on doing this. PM me and I can set you up with the guys at JTM who did the fab work and may have a kit for you. I think they have the stuff to make a duplicate.

I was posting to give an idea of standing up. The guys at RPM Motors Inc did this for me. They stood the big ole ECS intercooler up too.

Michael,

How was this accomplished? I am debating on relocating the radiator perches to lower my Dewitts so I can maintain the clearance I currently have as I'm going to coilovers and my driveway is not forgiving.

Got any detailed pics showing how that was done?

I have some pics but they arent the greatest. in the realitively near future I will take some better ones. The perches on the cradle were modded kinda like your talking about doing. Allowed the radiator and intercooler to sit up and slightly forward.
