Hi Gordo,

I took a look at your project, looks like you are doing great, not to mention you have some good help.

A friend of mine stripped down most of my IIA in one afternoon while I worked on the RR. He also loaned me an old bulkhead for fitting and figuring out where everything had to go. I placed the bulkhead on the outriggers to mark for engine clearance a few times before it was finished. One thing that helped with the floors was I drilled holes in the bulkhead where the floor bolts belong and put galvanized bolts up from the bottom and tack welded the heads from below, then when I put in the floor and center floor I just put nuts and lock washers on the top side.

I couldn't get either radiator to fit my project so I ordered one from Summit Racing. I also ordered the electric fan set-up with shroud form Summit and had it when I removed the engine fan. As you can see I put the air conditioner fans on the outside as pushers. The puller fans have an adjustable thermostat with an over ride switch in the cab so it can be shut off so it won't pull water on the engine. The pushers have just an on off switch but I have not needed them at all. The cooling is great with these fans.

I think the bulkhead outriggers are available from a few suppliers, I think the pair cost me about $75.

If you are using the RR transmission you will need to move the controls forward. The shift is easy but you will need to give thought to the Hi-low/Dif lock, unless you don't mind it being where the middle seat is.

Are you planing on using the EFI, or will you be going with a carb? I got rid of all electronics so I dumped all wiring and started over. I had a supply of stainless wire used on emergency vehicles lighting systems, so most, but not all is stainless.

I'll check your site every now and then to check on your progress! I will enjoy watching and you might come up with some better ideas I could borrow!

Thanks for the link,

Paul
