Very impressive build. I was looking through and noticed you addressed this earlier some but could you share some more details on your radiator hoses? Such as fittings on the engine and radiator as well as hoses?

Thank you

Home run brother!

Thanks guys!

Contact Billy at B&B classics, he can get you set up with everything you need. I used Earls -20 hose and fittings top and bottom. The fittings on the water pump are from Custom Built Motors. The radiator is from Auto Rad which I ordered through Billy. Autorad will custom build the radiator and weld on the -20 fittings.

There are still a lot of little things to finish, adjust and tweak but the car is almost complete. I don't think it will ever be completely finished. I drove it down the road once but haven't been able to put any miles on it yet because of an idling issue which will hopefully be resolved soon so I can put some miles on the car before winter here in Minnesota. I'm planning on posting some video soon if all goes well.

That came out great Casey. Now I'd love to see it in action. I love how the car came out subtle, without popping the hood you would not guess track or street fighter. Just the right amout of stock and business race. No crazy tin or tubing showing. Excellent execution.

Great looking build. I have been watching this one come together. That color combo is great.

Do you have any close up photos of the radiator connections? I may borrow the idea of using AN fittings when I have AutoRad make my Radiator.
