[SCFFR]

Finally figured out how to post pics so though I would show a few of my MkIV project.

I just don't see how you are gonna get much air to the radiator with that cardboard in place. Your engine looks great.

But he will get 4MPH more on top speed.

Looks nice.

No fans for the fresh air?

I knew I should have drawn grille on the cardboard!!!

I'm going to mount the air inlets into the front nose wall panels so hopefully will get enough movement to keep the footwells relatively cool.

Thanks

looks nice!!! The posting of pictures was harder for me to figure out than anything I've done on the car to date.

Ron - looks great. Don't let the jibes about the cardboard bother you... lots of people around my area do that for quicker warm-ups in the cold weather; you're just ahead of the calendar a bit!

Seriously, though, it really does look nice, please keep us up to date with more pictures as your build progresses.

Not sure where you live, but if you live in a warm climate, you might want a blower for the footbox air ducts. I live in the Houston area, so air flow is really needed. On warm days (80 degrees), I can turn the fan off when I'm driving, but turn it on at stop lights. On hot days (95 plus), I leave it on all the time.

I use a marine bilge blower fan and it moves a lot of air.

Looking good, by the way!

Nice clean build.

[SCFFR]

Thanks everyone.
Next on the list is the under the car exhaust. Waiting on delivery of oval pipes and low profile mufflers from Spin Tech.

I have a set of Spin Tech mufflers on my supercharged Dodge Dakota and they sound amazing. Been on there for about five years and they sound meaner now than when they were new.

[David Hodgkins]

Super clean build so far! I like your glovebox, well done!

Do you have a start date in mind?

:)

[SCFFR]

Thanks again.

Glad to hear the Spin Tech mufflers were a good choice. I bought them mainly for the low profile (2.25" tall) but looks like I will also be happy with the sound.

Got the dash from Glen at AST with the glove box cut out. Had planned on using one of the glove box kits but all that I saw had a padded door which I did not expecially like. So, ended up making the glove box which turned out very good and cost less than $20. Glen sent me the aluminum door cut out from the dash so making the door will be easy.
