So with all the fans going at once, with the extra thrust what do you think, maybe 10 mph faster? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hey Bud, the 2 giant fans on the Chaparral fan car got Jim Hall to 25 mph, but I don't think that they will move this car unless it's pointed down hill. Too much junk in the trunk in the way, radiators and grill work.

Currently I am installing the panel that goes under the air box. I have the panel held in place with cleko clips so I can remove it for fitting during the installation. I'm trying to move the air box as far to the rear of trunk as possible because there is a little lip there and I can use it for attaching the top of the air box to it.

The rear panel on the trunk of the car has an arc with a radius of over 20'. So since I can't replicate it I'm going to take an impression of the curve in foam board.

Since the rear of the car has a curve in it I can't just cut the panel off. It needs to be scribed to the body, but there is no room to do that. So I'm getting my cut line from the holes for the fasteners. We'll see how that goes.

You are barely able to see a line of 5 holes in between the clamps. The surface I am clamping to is a rolled lip. I'm drilling from the outside through the center of the lip. I may have to roll the edge of panel before I am done.

The air plenum for the oil cooler is in place for the first time. That just means it fits where it is supposed to. Really good to have it there.

I cut it down an inch so it would fit between the tail light brackets and made up 2 new end caps and it went right in.

All of this is lose as I didn't have the hardware to finish it correctly.

Trying to figure out where to put the Mocal thermal controller.. Right now I can do the 2 coming from the radiators to the 90° in the corner but I need to locate the Mocal to go any further.

Another picture of today.

Going to be fun wiring them in. RC airplane parts for the controller and a potentiometer on the dash. Looks neat anyway.

Finished the brackets and got the location for the Mocal today. All the hardware is there but there is a small clearance issue that I will handle before I do the hoses. Now I can make up 4 hoses. All very small.

Thanks man, today I got some hoses done.

I cut another hose but ran out of time and didn't get the fittings done.

The air box is in it's place.

Attached Image

I need to make some corrections as one of fans has some bad wiring and a fan housing is broken. We had just printed a replacement housing and it is rough and in need of detailing. I still need a couple of fittings to tie in to the oil system. I think I may have to pull the oil tank to make the connection. So as usual I still have a ways to go before I can fire her up.

Moving right along now, yeah right... Today I cleaned up all the edges of the air box in preparation for graining in an effort to remove some of the scratches in the aluminum. The box itself looks much better but I don't think that it shows up in the picture.

So I got distracted by Diesel, a new dog. A male 3 month old XL Bully. He is learning to be part of the family.

I think he is about 40 pounds now and I have expectations that he will weigh more than 165, which is what his daddy weighs.
