I had the luxury of spending another long day in the shop today and made some good progress.


Was able to get the fenders back on the car in order to mock up the Speedtech fiberglass inner fender wells. installation was straightforward enough but the factory mounts on the firewall must be trimmed in order to get them to fit. No going back now! These things add a significant amount of room for the 315 tires. I haven't adjusted ride height or tried turning the wheels yet but I don't see any obvious signs of it being an issue as there is a lot of room in there.


Also mocked up the radiator, A/C condenser, and heat exchanger for the supercharger today. Not sure yet how I'm going to plumb up the condenser as I will need to relocate the filter/drier so none of the Vintage air pre-bent tubing will work. Has anyone done something similar? I'll probably locate the filter/drier between the headlight bucket and the heat exchanger.


Now that this complete I was able to figure out dimensions for the oil cooler and PS cooler. those are going to stack on top (above) the supercharger heat exchanger. I'm a little worried about airflow through all of these before air gets to the radiator but going to move forward with it and see how it goes.
