Looks good. Are you really going to stick a radiator in there and hide that Nailhead?[dr

Lil more!

Still at it but won't make the show this year. There's another local one May 1st & I expect to be on da hiways & byways by then! I installed the fuel blok on the firewall. The 3 outlets will go to the 3 deuces & the empty spot will be a fuel pressure gauge. I used some old fan mounting brackets but had to do some work to extend them for this radiator. This walker 4-core is one heavy devil!!! [ddd[ddd[ddd

Gas tank!

One good thing about missing the deadline... I ordered a 16 gal tank from a well know tank company I will not name & it was damaged. I'd call it a second for sure & I called them & they're gonna send me a new one. I was just gonna beat it out myself although I was a lil upset that I would even have to but now I'm gettin' a new one! Yipppeee!!!

Git'n a lil bit closer! I was designing a alternator mount for the driver's side & thought I'd check daBay for some other stuff I needed & lo & behold... there was a kool mount for a mini alternator like mine so I bought it. I can't wait to hear the big boy roar!!!

My new radiator! Well not really! The 4 core big block Walker weighs at least 60+ lbs so I built a cardboard one for the mock up. MUCH easier!!! Also got the starter put in & the alternator bracket installed. Oh SO close to crankin' the bad boy up now!!! [cl[cl[cl

That new light weight radiator you made may save weight but it isn't going to cool very well Bob.

Got the alternator for this bracket to move it to the driver's side out of the way. The bracket isn't painted yet but will be shortly! Also have to change the pulley to a v-belt! Another step closer to the fire up!!! Yipppeee!!!
