I take it the D90 hood is longer than the SIII? If it is that should help with room. Are you going to an 88 inch wb?
I changed the wiring because so much of it was cracked and years ago I had a small fire at the rear in the harness to the passenger side lights. I was up in CA and did a repair by flashlight and never made it right. As you know without the EFI or any computer controls or sensors the wiring is easy, only lights, ignition, and charging. If your SIII wires are good, all the better!
I think the aluminum radiator cost me about $240. If you can fit a D90 radiator that could be easier also. I don't know how it compares in size.

Thanks Paul, yeah the little one loves to help. I know he will look back someday and love those photos.. Yeah plan on going with 88-90 inch wheelbase depending on what looks right with the lifted Coiler chassis. The D90 hood should help with the V8 engine. I really wanted to keep the series front and keep it recessed but it causes other problems so I figured KISS (keep it simple stupid!). I was wondering how you mounted the rear crossmember. I see some creativity there and Im still a bit stumped on how it is going to fit. The one on my series frame is decent so I want to reuse it. Looks like a 90 crossmember would be easier since it is raised up in the rear already, but they are around 400 bucks from RN and Im a cheap joker! Post some more photos on that if you have any. I got a lot of respect for anyone that built there own hybrid. It is a lot of work, but I find it very enjoyable and Im sure it will be lots of fun when it is done. Gordo
