Guitarrocker98 progress thread.
Thanks. It means a lot.
I have pics ill post later, and I just want to say that the fitment of the Koyo radiator is SPOT ON. I dont ave much wiggle room because I didnt go with slim line fans. I trimmed down the fan frame simply for ease of use later on. I Either need to relocate my oil catch can, or get a new bracket. I am absolutely tied on what to do. But If anyone is reading my build thread wondering which radiator to buy..... spend the extra money and get a Koyo. I used all bumpers, still ran all my turbo hosing, and if I have to get into the belts later on I still have a little room where I can do so. I could not be happier on that. now I just have to mount a few other shiny pieces them bolt it back up. Everything is masically back on minus the intercooler, coolant tank, and oil catch can. Also need about 8 Earls clamps for my Stainless Hoses and 2 new hoses for the oil catch can.
Whats next?
Fenders
powdercoat wheels
Re wire my Interior
Paint
Ciphen out old gas, and drain the rest. Car has sat for a little over a year. Needs new fresh gas. She will probably hit the road October or December. Lots of work to do.

If you are wondering which kind of Radiator to buy, only Koyo. Here is why.

With absolutely no wiggle room to spare I needed a spot on fitment.
Koyo Delivered. Now that I have a larger radiator, I need to move my oil catch can...... Any ideas?

Beginning to prep the car for paint. Wheels will be done in about a month. They are swamped, and its just a small shop that I go to. I'm in no rush though. They do amazing work. When I paint.... Well plastidip my car. Yes yes yes dip. It's going coco brown maybe a hair darker, but with a satin gold ghost pearl top coat.
Mirror. Nothing is going to be chromed. I will be doing it all I'm a mirror finish. Chroming does not hold up as well.
I see- if you are doing them local, I'd be curious to know how much per lip to mirror polish. There are shops in California that charge ~$35 per lip to polish from a raw state. I found a shop that wanted $80 a lip here...
