Update time!
I really wish I could spend more time working on the race car. Actually, now that i'm (finally) divorced and working a little less that dream may come true just in time for the rainy season. Rain and time seem to be my worst enemies.
Got some time in friday and today (before it rained me out) working on wiring, vacuum lines and the oil cooler. I made a frame for the oil cooler out of 1.5" aluminum angle and bolted it in place of some missing sheet metal. There's a bottom brace bolted to the oil sump to keep it from swinging around. It'll be a pain when it come time to adjust the valves but I didn't have any other mounting options for such a large cooler. I grabbed to race wheels for a test fit to make sure everything cleared and I think the oil filters are closer to the rim the the oil cooler. Both have plenty of clearance but I can't waith to get some slicks on those rims!
