    yeah, I found that picture too....it's alittle too dark to really see, but thank you for helping...

    I'm thinking he has an electric on that car too, but the car we are building will have a standard fan. I may just have to move the engine back another 1/2", but I'm trying to avoid messing with the firewall much....

    Thanks again,HRD

    Ken is a HAMBer. Hopefully, he will respond. In my mind, it's one of the best roadsters ever built. A lot of p***ion and soul went into that car.

    Thank you and I couldn't agree more on the beauty of the roadster, it screams p***ion.

    This old thread was before my time. but here ya go. Pay no attention to the guy behind the motor. He's putting on the spacer that hold's the fan. Definately not electric...
