anyways, mike had sent some photos a while ago and here is a more proper update....

the radiator mock up is coming to an end, along with some pics of the fabricated inlet and outlet flanges.














custom radiator finished up.





previously mentioned the removeable upper core support. more pics of the design.





close up of the stainless round bars.



upper core support is secured by two 10mm bolts. remove them and the top slips right off...



got to give props to the wise-guys... alot of attention to the details and hope i haven't been too big a pain in the ass... i'm just a sucker for the details...

"back in the day" i had an infinitey box in the rear and liked the sound in the little hatch so thought it would be plenty to keep me happy so i had eurowise mount a speaker and amp under the rear bench and doug placed the braile near by. some pics of it mocked up...









p.s. if anyone mentions anything about heat soaked amps, not enough speaker box volume, or death by acid from battery explosion behind driver seat i will keeeealllllll you.....

sorry about that tim.... been a very long week at work and think i might be losing it...

back on topic...

IC brace/bracket



upper and lower rad hoses



they are made using stainless pipe with silicon ends







next up was the fans. due to the space issues, a staggered setup was used...



they had to modify the top of the fan on the passenger side to clear the intake manifold, as well to make room for any engine movement.

the fans are held in place with steel stock rod.

Brackets were made to bolt the fans into place instead of using zip ties.... thanks for going the extra distance guys....





with material removed from the passenger fan they made a small steel shield to act as a cover to prevent anything from contacting the fan blades



spoke with mike not that long ago and he'll be sending me more pics so will get them up tonight...

So everyone saw how the back seat compartment floor was mocked up with the speaker/amp/battery...

so here is a view of the compartment from under the car.





more pics of the removal of material from the rad fan...





More pics of the steel shield built back into the brace to protect the blade.





a few days ago i'd posted some progress on the new design of the tow hitch. here are more detailed pics of the design where you can see the tow hitch and the threaded stub welded into the front core support brace





in addition to the 2 factory side mounts and the oem lower dogbone mount eurowise added a front brace as well..... for additional engine stabilizing...

Pics of the front brace in place...





mock up of how the cat bone mount will be bolted in place....
