tech support at RDRP has been very helpful and i'm confident that with their assistance i will be able to get this figured out.
probably need to drill some new holes and have a replacement upper mounting plate fabricated.
also, it's clear to me that i should verify the hood will close properly without interference from the top of the radiator.
at this point i'm not really sure how far i am from getting the hood in place.

thanks for taking the time to have a look at my project, and as always if anything you see here inspires you to comment- please feel free!
i'm always happy to receive input from the members of this community.

will update again here soon...

thank you, tony!
yes, the welds are absolutely top notch.
no question about it- the radiator is a high quality unit.
also, it came with a set of very clear and detailed installation and maintenance instructions, fan wiring harnesses/relays, master grounding kit, and transmission fluid cooler in case the car is ever converted back to the automatic.


trying to make progress on several different fronts... piece by piece, one little step at a time.

i'm very happy with the way the seats turned out.
the work was done by henry perez at alaska refinishing and upholstery with materials i purchased from ames.
henry tackles a lot of upholstery projects for other classic car owners here in fairbanks, alaska and his work comes very highly recommended.
eventually i'll probably see if he wants to build a new rear seat for the car as well.
thanks for checking in!

The seats do look great!

Nice job on the seats. The car is looking great. Is that clutch pedal hung from a rod end?
