I'm going to build a drive through dryer for my new WW profile. I have a couple PDQ Max Air dryer bridges from some G5's laying around and planned on using the motors from those. Where's the best place to buy elephant ears or trunks? Whats the best option for side drying? Looking to make something similar to this.

I added some SOnny's Mammoth dryers to my drive through automatics. They call for 15 HP dryers. You can buy the down tubes for around $1000 each as I recall. Protovest also make a conversion for a side dryer and they spec 15 HP dryers. They might work fine with 10 HP but both companies suggestert to only use 15HP dryers. In addition to the 2 side dryers I use 3 10hp dryers before the side dryers and I am very happy with results I am now getting.

dude, I wish I'd known you needed that. I just sold a set up nearly identical to that, for $3k! EVERYTHING included!
