Surreptitious.....

This past week has had no work... tough working in an unventilated garage when the temps are at, or over 100F!!! Tough working in ANY garage when it is hovering around 100F.

Well, the remainder of the cooling system needs to be as well engineered as what has been done so far. I did some basic shaping of some aluminum plywood edging (how did wood get back into this project???)

I'll be using it to mount the cooler to the frame of the car. It is 3 sided box, or square, I've cut it to shape, and in the next week or so Jesse will weld it all together for me.


With the mount moving ahead, I felt it time to route the cooler lines. Using one 90 and one 45, I can get the lines to neatly merge together as they get routed under the battery



btw... this would be SOOOOOO MUCH harder to accomplish if this engine were equipped with A/C and P/S



The AE71 has a pair of oval holes cut in the radiator support, PERFECT for cooler lines.....(far right) I'll make a grommet to fit


The feed line - top of adapter with brass fitting to the far fitting on the cooler - is finished. I purchased 2 45 and 2 90 fittings, I'll have to purchase another 90 and then I'll finish the other hose assembly

she is beginning to look more like a car... and less like a project
