I also got some seat sliders for the front seats. I really wanted to try and keep the power sliders, but at almost 3" high, it makes the seats sit way too high in the car.

Come on over and you can even help!!

Well it's been a couple months since I've updated, so I thought I better do one. Unfortunately haven't gotten much actually done on the car. Things around the house and overtime shifts have gotten in the way. I hope to get a few productive days in though over the next few weeks as I will be on holidays for a bit.

Did get a few new sweet parts though. Thanks Matt at MCB!!

I borrowed this idea of a photo from another thread. Shows the difference in size between the stock rad and the Autorad one

Don't think I'll have to worry about this setup not keeping the car cool on the hot desert summer days

Very cool Mike! Interesting to see the difference between your Nova model and my F body. You have the headlight buckets in the core support. Also, they stopped selling the Maradyne controller. I like the DD you have better :thumbsup:

That is such a sweet set up! Very Nice Mike.

Thanks Ron. I think they still offer the Maradyne one. It's still listed on their product list. I just liked the idea of the LED display better.

Thanks Wayne!

Have you had a chance to mock up the driveshaft loop? Currently in the market for one myself, and was curious how this one worked out?

All I can say is looking at the AutoRad Core Support & Radiator makes me want one really really really bad.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance yet. I don't see an issue though. I'll just need to cut the bracket where it mounts to the trans cross member. I actually got the idea of using it from a member's car on another forum. Here's a link to his website where he has a pic of it installed: http://barman.shawwebspace.ca/pages/...iondrive_line/

I'm really happy I decided to go this route. It's a work of art. I can't decide now if I'm going to paint the support body color or leave it as is.
