Subscribed, This thing looks pretty solid, nice welding! I might steal your idea in the future and redo my coolant pipes like yours, looks very clean.

We have differing opinions on what tire widths look good (I don't understand the stretched look) but its all about building what you want so thumbs up there.

Is this going to be race only? Ready for GCVWS next year?

Too much influence from the watercooled guys

Finished my radiator mount and shroud.

And old picture I dug up. My dad's cabrio and friends bus.

More coolant pipes to weld and bead roll. Ordering Stinger ECU and clutch soon

Looking good!

It doesn't look like you have a rad shroud after the radiator? I would highly suggest this as it is often overlooked. Shrouding and ensuring adequately flow AFTER the rad is almost more important than getting air to the rad. Temps under there will get VERY high. On my conversion I made the shroud out of steel and it is almost air tight, and it gets quite hot in there just from heat radiation. I'll be making one out of fibreglass this winter to help that.

Just my $0.02, keep it up!
