I got the fan shroud back from the coater and was able to see how it all fits last night.

A little more work done..... 


I was having trouble finding an upper radiator hose that would work. So I just used the camaro hose at the engine and then part of an e36 upper hose at the radiator with a piece of alum tube between the two. One side of the alum tube had to be expanded. The tube will get coated gloss black. 


 


Made the air intake....4" to 3.5" elbow, slight 3.5" bend to 3.5" straight and a little bracket to support it to the engine. Weld has been sanded down and the entire thing will get coated gloss black. 


 


 


 


 


New Cross Flow AC condenser 

 


A couple small brackets to mount to the factory locations 

 


 


Rebuilt rear end ready to go in 

 


and in 

 


Style 5s to be refinished..... 

Still not sure on colors. 

What do you all think? 

polished lips, satin black centers? 

polished lips, grey/silver centers? 

silver coated lips, black centers?
