For those who are playing along. Heres some last night photos of the front of the 65.

 

I don't think it's going to run very well with all that plastic wrap on the engine. Seriously though...looking great! Bet you can't wait to get it out of the garage. What's the blue wire running from the fan?

 

Nice!

 

Thats the wiring for the fan (on the to-do list). The pusher will be set on a thermo and hopefully not run much.

 

how do you plan to hide the wires? or are you not going to?

 

Looks great can't wait to see it finished, I bet your are more anxious that us since you are going to be the one driving it. Curious to know why the fan in front of the radiator, and What size it? I saw one the other day at the flea market they guy wanted 15 buck for it maybe I should of bought it. It was similar but don't know what size it was. If I see it this Sunday I might just have to buy it, depending on the size. Ok I just saw the pics again and you have one on the inside and on the outside.

 

its a pusher fan for the radiator, to help cool the rad and the engine

 

That's not a fan it is a propeller to help him go faster. Seriously though it is looking great. I am looking forward to seeing it done.

 

Looks great, coming along nicely!

What size are your tires and wheels and backspace? I do plan on rolling my fender lips as you posted in my thread, but still have a bit of concern about how my wheels will fit.

 

wow, looks awesome. Kinda like mine but better and cleaner, haha.


also, I though the fan went on the engine side of the radiator? What made you decide to do it that way? advantages?
