    Thanks T Bird!!
     
  4. I have a good heater core that may be small enough, I'll measure it if you like.
    I also have two F-1 tailgates I use for ballast in my daily when the roads are bad. i might even consider delivery just to check your progress.
    Coupe is looking good!

    Go to NAPA ONLINE and view their catalog. You will find almost every size and style heater core and also fans.

    Yours will definitely be faster but this one is planning on raising it's class record by 20mph, 97mph to 117mph. Note what used to be the 4 exhaust ports are now intake ports and the former siamesed intake ports are exhaust. The new wood above the sun visor was by decree of the rules committee---no streamlining other than the allowed 2" chop. The old piece had been sanded off at a 45* angle. The dyno work is to tune in the Webers is done, note the 02 sensor, and it has been preassembled. Now back apart to tweak for final assembly.

    Thanks HRM2K,

    I had to cannibalize a 26 back window to make that 27 window work. I had two window sections, one the belt line was toasted, and the other had swiss above the window area, so I use the good parts from both. Turned out nice though!

    Another cool kat stepped up to help me out, Limey Kid contacted me and gave me some rear quarter windows from a T sedan... Now I've got more than enough to get my belt lines and doors patched... Thanks Stewart!!!!
