Radiator in the back! [cl

Yup!!!

Can you move the engine back any? I think you would like it better.JMO Good looking project!

I am somewhat partial to it right where it is. I like the reach to the shifter at this point as well. Beyond that, I'm planning on a blower for the next iteration of the motor and the extra firewall clearance is nice.

I would have chopped it more....
Case grill with short side panels back to the shock mounts, big air scoop to the top of the windshield will fill in the engine area. t-bucket bed sides to hide the rear frame rails and gas tank. LOOOOOOVE those tires.......

I may play around with some of those ideas. For now, I'm going to run all naked on the front end. I can always add more tin. I didn't want to chop it any further because I felt I would be cramped wearing a helmet with the roll cage if I went any further. Yes, I plan on wearing a helmet while street driving this. I mean, it is a 2300lb (guess), 450+ horsepower, 21" wide rear tire, rocketsled...

I like it a Lot....that being said, what's your plan for gas tank, battery and radiator location. Also, that picture made me think that a bobber truck could look cool with some big digger tires. Thanks for the ideas

Radiator, battery, fuel cell will all be in the back behind the cab. I have a bed that I shortened and narrowed. You can check my build thread for those pics. I am also planning on the fire suppression system going in back there.


My momma always said I was special!
 
I really like the way you did the back window when you chopped it. I would personally like to see the front wheels moved forward 8-12 inches. The front pulley about right over the axle centerline (like a model A) is where I like those proportions to be. That's just my personal tastes though and I think if you go with the rear mounted radiator it won't look too bad. With a grille hanging out in front of the tires, the proportions are just not pleasing to my eyes.
