Should be getting it running road worthy first instead of fooking with tures. Hell snow is 30 days away. Then this thread goes into summer/autumn of 2014

So by your reckoning cracked and bald tyres from 1964 are road worthy

I've only got the two on the body. The others broke off you're welcome to them if you want, pay postage and they're yours as I'm replacing them with some home made aluminum ones that'll give it a more aggressive look

Exhaust down pipes on, last tyre on, floor pans in and remote oil filter on too. Will put up a pic or two later.
Tomorrow is more wiring and finishing off the rest of the exhaust, bolting in the seat box a bit more, radiator mountings need cutting and sorting out so it fits in without wobbling

The last bastard to go on
The piece of wood here is 14" tall so you get an idea of clearance!
And in this one it just looks pretty damn good

Rad mounts take one……. 30x30 box with a 15mm hole, the rubber shock mount can then be squeezed in with a little help from a flat head screwdriver, After this I found the rad sat a little too high for my liking so I drilled holes in the spacer plate shown below a the same size then put the shockers in there
Welded in the spacer plate but its been put in so I can revert at a later date if needed
Shiny aluminium race radiator
Bonnet up ready to go in!
Rad in and 99% plumbed, just need one on the top pipes that run next to the plenum
This is the gap between bonnet and new panel position
Heres the front view, the slam panel needs raising up a little and now I can see the gap I can also extend it backwards too.
The bonnet currently sits on the rad cap but it wont do after I finish with the modifications, there will then be a 3/4 gap between wing top and bonnet base so I'll be filling that in by making up a ventilated panel to allow more air into the engine bay

Unfortunately due to the rain and wind I didn't manage to start until about 2:30 so exhaust and wiring will have to wait til tomorrow but at least its coming together now!
