Well, not much of an update, but here's where I'm at now. I received the radiator mounting frame from Nick Acton and did a trial fit on it. All looks good, as I speak the radiator is temporarily in the car and everything seems to fit well. I'm going to run back to Bill's as soon as I can and measure the opening between the top of the radiator frame and the front edge of the hood opening, and order the aluminum panel to fill the space from Nick. I just today ordered a Ford Taurus fan and shroud at Jim's suggestion to try to keep the engine cool down here in the Houston heat. Hopefully with some time and attention I can do a decent job on the install and have it not look too noticeable. I have a brand new Spal fan in the box that I bought long ago that I can use if this Taurus fan doesn't work out for whatever reason.

The body is just laying on the car, held on temporarily with two loose bolts. It'll come off in about ten minutes with four guys lifting from each corner. Before I do the final radiator install I'll probably pull the body off and take care of the rear brake lines and emergency brake issue. It'll be 100 times easier to take care of with the body out of the way. I'll take that opportunity to run the fuel line and pump as well, as that will be easier with the body off too.

The rear sway bar mounts are bolted into holes drilled and tapped into the frame. While the body is off, I want to try to strengthen the mounting points. I'm hoping one of you guys have some idea what type of threaded insert I can get in there.

That's about it for now, more as it comes.
