Project FNQUIK

[Beach Cruiser]

I haven't checked in for a while, took a couple of month break from car stuff. You're make great progress!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the encouragement.

No progress on the car because of a terrible December and January plus sinus surgery so no bending or laying on the floor. But I did get my intercooler tank made to fit behind the passenger head light and some parts for the intercooler plumbing. The lid fits right between the fender and the radiator to fender bracket.
Here's the tank it holds 3.5 gal.



This is the fill I will use up near the supercharger.



I got these fittings for my hydraboost.



These are to plumb the trans cooler for the 4l85.



This is to drop the rear hose fitting on my oil cooler line so it can run one hose above the other along the oil pan.

Wayne - other than the colon resection surgery I had done (TWICE - because the first was an epic fail) -- SINUS surgery (mine was 6 and a half hours of it) was absolutely the most miserable thing I ever had done! Sorry to hear you had to suffer this inglorious mess too.


Car parts look terrific!!

Thanks Greg, it's tough to describe when someone asks what it's like. Well on my way got my stitches out today and already breathing better. I told the doctor while he was pulling the gauze out, I thought he was pulling the hair on my legs with it!

Oh yeah! Been there done that! I'm with Greg, absolutely the most painfull thing I have been through. And the gauze removal...I wouldn't wish that on anyone! Sorry you had to go through this...however it's actually worth it in the end! Stay strong!

And the parts look great! You will be back out there soon enough!

Little update on some small progress. We made up some brackets and got the trans cooler mounted. I started to clean them up and ready to be coated. I also finished the mounting platform for the intercooler reservoir, I had the basic set up, but now I have the mounts figured out.
I also got word that my XRP fittings and hose are on their way and should be here on Thursday. BUT ! I leave Friday morning to go to Portsmouth Va. to check out houses for my daughter and her family. My son in law is in the Navy and being stationed there to work at the hospital (corpsman) but can't get time off from where he's at now to go see the houses before his transfer in April. Which I will be driving from San Antonio Tx to Va. with them driving one of their trucks while they drive the other one. I've done almost as many miles for his enlistment as they have lol. I had a great time driving from Mass. to Tx. with my grandson and daughter last August to get them there.







I need to glue a piece of Neoprene rubber to my intercooler mount to protect the tank, any suggestion's on which spray glue to use 3M super 77 ? The tank shouldn't be that hot.
