I have really bad luck with the best appearing. I've done some cars up really nice and feel that the official kinda screws me out of it. It's probobly gonna stay black with grind and weld marks from welding the doors shut and lettered up with orange or yellow. Unless he dose a theam I really like. Tom

Well tonight I got the cables run inside the car I need to get some need top post ends but the ones I had worked to make sure I had all my wireing hooked up right. I worked on wiring the stock electric fan next it has 3 wires a small green wire then larger red and black wires, I hooked them up thinking red positive black negitive hooked them up and nothing so I switched them and it ran. So my next issue is should the fan push or pull air right now it pulls from the motor side out seems like it should be the opposite. TOM

Air is supposed to go from front of motor towards engine if fan is between motor and radiator.There designed to perform better in 1 direction than the other.Just swap the wires around.

I tried the wires both ways didn't do anything one way and ran the other way. Guess I'll test another fan to see how it reacts I have one out of an 01 from last year

Yeah not sure about the fan yet I need to get some better wire I hook it up agian. I did get the exaust cut off this weekend and worked on getting bumper mounts figured out. I was going to use some 80s lincolns bumper shocks but the hole in the frame was to big so I grabed a set of caprice shocks I had cut the hole out and bolted one on. Fits in there very nice I have some pics I'll get on here this week. I also took some pics from underneth of the aluminum cradle so everyone can get a look at what they look like. TOM
