I was at outfront last week. I picked up a new oil filler set up that is a little cleaner.

We looked at using that one, but I couldn't use it with my air/oil separator. So we went a different direction. I'll let Scott post pics of what he's going to do when he gets to it. Going to be very cool! (of course.)

I need to do more projects for other people. I really enjoy getting parts in the mail and now I can get them and don't even have to pay for them!

I pulled the offending coolant line tonight and installed the alternator. It is really close but I will be able to snake the tube under the manifold and past the alternator.

Attached Image

This install is going to be super clean and functional. Loads of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) in the coming weeks.

Cheers,
Scott

No actual progress this weekend. Had to winterize the yard and take care of a few honey-do's. Lot's of parts showing up so I took some time to organize the garage. Nothing more frustrating than searching for parts or tools.

Speaking of parts, Doug....if you wanted to go big, now is the time.

I was "helping" Stephen find a snail for his project and found this.

Now wouldn't that be exciting! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Great suggestion, but the vf39 should be plenty for me. I know everyone is saying I'll want more HP later, but my target was 250hp and it's looking like I'll be way over that now. Hell, I had a blast in my 2.0 and that was only 100hp.

Besides Scott, your car scared the shit out of me.

I havn't been slacking...promise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

Just about done with the radiator mount. All made from flat.

Bottom will be held in place by the pins in rubber grommets. IC heat exchange will be mounted with 4 tabs to the radiator frame.
Attached Image

Fits like a glove. Still need to make end pieces for the bottom to weld to the chassis and stiffen everything up.
Attached Image

The vertical angle pieces are there temporarily to hold the top and bottom pieces in place as I take it in and out for fitment.
Attached Image

Tight gaps will make it easy to put down pretty welds.

Cheers,
Scott

Looking good Scott. I knew you'd have a better way to do the radiator.

It's a good idea to tape some protective cardboard to cover the fins during construction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Why do things the easy way when I can spend countless hours on details no one will ever notice.

Made the feet for the lower part of the rad mount.
Attached Image

In place.
Attached Image

Also made the mounts for the IC heat exchange.
Attached Image

I probably could have welded it all in place today but I did not remove the lower grommets while welding and ruined them. I though that I had two more but only had one.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Looking good Scott!

I'm a little pissed that I see orange paint. I'd paid to have the entire tub sand-blasted, but I guess they forgot part of the front trunk. Guess I missed that when I went to inspect it before they put the primer on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The orange paint was under some sort of rubbery calk stuff. I assume that it was from the previous radiator setup. It took some serious scraping to get up, sand blasting definitely would not have removed it.

Ah! Gotcha. That makes perfect sense. Yeah, the rubbery stuff never comes off with media blasting of any kind.

Phase 1, mount the radiators is complete!

While doing the final fitting I did not like the way the holes lined up for the IC heat exchanger so I removed the bottom tabs and started over.

Attached Image

Much better now. No slotted holes allowed.

Attached Image

Welded in place. Getting to the bottom piece was the toughest TIG welding I have had to do. Good practice for when I put a cage in my car. Definitely going to need another tig torch with current control.

Attached Image

IC heat exchanger in place.

And the radiator just drops in.

Now on to running the hose to the radiator.

Scott

What should I work on next so that you can avoid additional rework (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

LOL, I won't belly ache, I'll keep it to my self. Plan still is to be done for my birthday, and at least take it down the road. It might okay will be ugly, but I need to get to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Looking awesome. That sure beats the hell out of the janky-ass mount I made up...consisting of one piece of 1" square tube.

Party on!

Quick question/comment for Scott:

Are you going to move where the radiator hose goes through the longs, or at least how they get routed there? I'm certain I had about 10' too much hose in that operation, and what I'd originally set up would have been a bitch to get bubbles out of the line.

Just curious if you found a better way.
