I really like your Chevy. Great build. Nice workmanship.

 

Hey guys, can i get a little feedback.. iam working on the electric fan mount on the build and want feedback.

I want to know if i should cover the back side of the radiator that is not covered by the fan.

I have seen many ways to do this.. some uncovered and some covered..

Just fyi, i have used the largest fan that would fit.. 16in, and have to offset it to the left to account for the spacing and some interference with the electric water pump.

Iam also a little worried that a little section of the fan is not directly behind the radiator.. and air could pass through here and around the radiator.... should i cover this areas up?

Thanks guys!

Even more done today!

Logoed the radiator!





Had lunch with the dog.. frank




Plugs gaped and installed? Plug wires installed.

Headers and copper gasket installed..

Iam still working out the core support and fan mount.. but i like what i have going so far..

Gonna mock the fenders back Monday to make sure Iam not missing anything major.


I do want to fire it up before the front end goes back on... jsut to make sure all is good..

Need to go get fluids and finish the brakes













I made the radiator tubes from 1 1/4 copper tube, then connect it to the engine and radiator with short sections of silicone hose.

Looks cleaner and can can make any bend i want..

Quick coat of gloss black and they are goos to go!

Buttoned up the brakes with new lines!!

Had a bit of trouble bleeding the front .. there was a-lot of air trapped in the proportioning valve.

There might still be some.. i will do another round of bleeing before test drive.


Spent about 2 hours chasing down leaks in the new lines and made sure all of the connection points are dry.

Ill do another check in the am.
