looks cool, what's the reasoning for this?
it doesn't look like you will get much more tire under there?

I was having a little rubbing in one spot so this will give me a bit more clearance.

Also, for a looks standpoint the old stock fenderwells didn't line up with the new upper control arms at all.. not even close.

They look nice ,I saw the markings on them when I was there.

Very nice Steve, I know you been wanting to do something different with the inners. I imagine you must be stoked!

More cool stuff going on with Penny.

Steve, I really appreciate the fact that you drive the hell out of this car and keep upgrading along the way. Guys like you and Todd and several others that USE these cars keep the hobby that much more interesting for people like me.

I have all my oil cooler stuff now. The main player is a Setrab 925 cooler.

The larger radiator opening will let me mount this without blocking most of the radiator. All the stuff will be hardlined from the Canton t-stat to the cooler and then to the bulkheads.

Funny.. this just started out as a simple project.. lol



Right now all the old undercoating is being stripped off so the new WURTH Stoneguard can be shot on.

The rear was gone over by Currie and new ends were welded on. I also had the third member rebuilt since it was out of the car.

I'm also making progress on the new engine. It's a RHS standard deck race block with 4.155 bore and a 4.25 stroke. The rotating guts will Lunati and the heads will Mast Motorsports LS3 12-degree big bore pieces. I call it a 454+ (the plus is because it's really a 461)

The inner fenders are now ready to be final welded and then bodyworked. I held them up there and there's TONS more tire space where it's needed. Brad (the Bradenator) at BOS did a great job making my vision a reality on these.

I have a couple questions.
How did you choose the cooler size?
Did you consider using one of Setrabs fan packs?

I was looking at the 920 fanpack combo thinking I could gain the oil cooling without direct air flow that would block my radiator.
