Midstates Update !

I also had to make an upper radiator strap to the same dimensions as the CSX 4000 cars. One other problem that I ran into was that the old midstates hood hinges were huge and would hit the radiator unless the top of it was shoved way back towards the firewall. I ended up making a new set of hinges that were smaller and looked similar the the shelby hinges. This allowed me to install the radiator in the right place for that period correct look.

Moving right along, I used my trusty harbor freight sheel metal brake and some pictures from the forum to duplicate the top aluminum panel in front of the radiator. I also ordered and installed a Kirkham billet 427 style expansion tank that bolts to the small block windsor motors. Additionally, the electric fan and fan brakets were aquired from Nick at acton custom.

And here she is in all her Glory... Next order of business will be to duplicate the csx 4000 oil cooler shroud and surrounding sheet metal and install the oil cooler. Thanks for looking..
