    Looks good, but you still need to get air to the radiator. Do you think that's enough of an opening?

    cooling will not be a problem..it's actually not all that much smaller than the original opening....and i will also use an electric fan..

    as long as it takes.

    VERY limited in the time i can devote to it,,, i own an auto detailing business that is open 7 days a week,,and fully booked until november 10th,,the only time i get to work on it is when i have a cancellation AND the weather cooperates, since i'm working on it outside,,,

    Glad to see you back on it, even if it's slow going. I get the being busy thing and making money is great and all but please schedule yourself some time to work on this... even if it's a day a month! This is one of the projects that I loved seeing the ups, downs and many changes.

    Jim,
    I'm sure you've seen VooDoo Larry's Golden Sahara Tribute car, but HAMB'er cdoh just posted these pics on another thread. It seems appropriate to bring them over here.
