Took some pics of my progress. COMPLETED rear suspension and brakes.



Completed front suspension, shocks, brakes, brake lines, and all the line lock and proportioning valve.





And the clutch pedal assembly is all in, bled and working.



And now my weakness. I just can't give up on the rear mounted radiator. Getting all of that weight off the front and losing all that room to the radiator just keeps me going back to figuring it all out. So I spent some time finishing the trunk floor cutout to fit the dual fan shroud to the floor so it can be sealed.



And mocked up where everyting has to set to make it fit.



I'm going to push it to the very end. I'm going to make a full square tube framework radiator support that will eventually be completely incased in sheet metal. With only the core open to air moving thru. This will get insulated to keep all the heat generated from the end tanks out of the trunk. I have a single radiator fan that I can mount up over th erear axle that will draw air form under the car to help the flow into the trunk. Theres a guy here that louvers trunks etc. I might stamp in a bunch of louvers facing towards the front of the trunk lid. Then hope I've done enough. Still, the big thing will be running the water all the way to the front and back. I'll get that figured out as well. Mark L
