  2. Hey Danny are you building this ride for your Dad?

    Good on ya if you are !!

    Nice with the vreature conforts and the ZZ430, it should scoot nicely. Is it a manual trans?

    Nice workmanship but ...
    I would never have used a electric fan :mad:

    A ZIP's will keep the ZZ430 cool.

    I agree with Deuce Roadster and not to be overly critical but either a Zips or SnowWhite water pump riser and shroud really works well instead of an electric fan. The car is great and post more pictures of the exterior. The FOGGER

    HA---I disagree with Randy!!----I've been running my electric fan (no shroud) for 300,000 miles now,---But I am only running a 260 Cobra---Not a big block---So, maybe thats the difference(?)---------------Don

    Very nice workmanship, I always enjoy looking at the pictures of work from your shop. The details make the difference.

    You folks are blessed with some serious talent.

    Hey, Danny, great job with the detail work. looks good, but you forgot to align the screw slots on the left hand side of the first picture!

    Otherwise , fine work!

    Chocolate or Vanilla ...
    That's why they make both. :)


    I have seen too many electric fans go bad and DIE ... then burn the engine up ...

  19. Love the way you have been able to instal a small block Chev in a 32 Ford, without hacking up the firewall.
    Others could take lessons from you, if they wanted too.
    The firewall on a 32 Ford is one of the most beautiful parts of the engine compartment, in my opinion.
