Thanks Nathan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm just about done pulling everything from the donor car, I'de like to get it off the lift tomorrow (Pre-Super Bowl) and get my car on it to start implementing everything.

Today was D-Day for the Oil System, Oil Cooler, and Fuel System. Gutted it all...



Also found a nice little surprise in the brake department....

It'll be worth it but you won't need no stinking heat.

Oh and....take the Rolex off when working on the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I've just purchased the GT style fiberglass cover. I'm sort of concerned with the idea of the Fuel pump bolted to that metal shroud, let alone all those wires, fuel, and oil in one place in the event of a crash. I know it has the cutoff switch, but that only stops the pump, it does nothing for electricity or gas spilling out!

I'm going to see if I can modify it to add in the fan w/ the thermostat or if I can find one that fits inside.

Anyone done this? I see some of the other 3.6 guys with just the cooler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

. Living in SoCal, I'm paranoid about being in traffic in LA in summer. The current setup work beautifully, I hope I can keep it THAT cool.

Do a search for member East Coaster and his fan setup. he added three (I think) small fans at the inlet to the cooler. You could also mount a square fan on the floor (where your cutout or louvres would be) to pull air thru. As long as it fits under the shroud that is!

Good to know Jason, thanks! I'm going to see what I can up with this shroud, and should I need to, I can modify it to accommodate a fan. I'm not too bent on the GT look-alike, so as long as I have the floor pattern,from the one off eBay, I think I can pull it off.

I have a fiberglass guy in house thats awesome with modeling (see below), so maybe I'll come up with my own mold if enough people are interested (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

As for now as I wait for parts to come in, I've been trying to salvage these brakes! Are they overkill? Probably. But they look pretty badass...

I've got those on the front of my v8 conversion. Love the setup & they don't feel like overkill to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I have a spare set of 4 of them for backups. Eric says they are damn near throwaway's when they need rebuilt. The parts alone make them not worth it. He also says they hardly need rebuilt. So clean them up & run them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Better get your ass in gear if it's going to be ready for Route 66 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Thats good to hear! .... Eric told me the same thing, so I'm hoping they'll work!

I'm really trying to get this done for Route 66, I've been putting in atleast 3 hours a day Mon-Fri, and from 10-8 on weekends, it's just alot of work to get it to where I want it to be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Tomorrow, I'm rebuilding the rear suspension that is sitting on the black car, so that it can go onto my car, the bearings are simply shot!

I'de really like to have my car on the lift by the end of day Sunday, ready to put parts on, and the 3.6 IN the car by the end of next week!

Removed the suspension and hubs from the black car today. Since I'm removing/installing bearings this weekend, I ordered a second set, and figured I'll have a set of trailing arms on hand, or sell them, whatever. I'll probably end up using my same arms as they are painted/reinforced and have a new set of bushings on them.

I was in the shop alone today, and with no one to help me get the hub out before I sent the arm to the press, I made up a little 'jig'

... Holy Crap! I was cleaning up today, and decided to clean off the 'ugly red calipers' when I realized, 'Wait.... where's the hump?!.... Oh my God!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Paging Eric Shea!
