Little update. My new Champion radiator sit's about 1 1/2" higher than my old Walker radiator, so Mark made a new cover today. Still needs to be primed and painted. I had to make new bracket and mounted the overflow tank. Had to move to drivers side, not room where AC compressor is now mounted. Here's a couple pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Wow, very nice!!!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thank you...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Very slick. I too had a space issue mounting an overflow tank. I ended up mounting mine under the radiator shroud and attached it to the vertical support of the grill. It's not the most convenient location to access but you never really need to access it once your all set up.

Mark does great metal work.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thanks Marc, my Mark didn't like it after seeing the pics, so today he is going to cut it down an inch in height for a better look...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

that engine looks proper in there, well played.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thank you...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Just a little work done today. Mark cut 1" out of the radiator cover. I put on some light filler and sanded. Mark sprayed the primer. Will sand and paint tomorrow...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

That will look more streamline. Funny what difference an inch can make.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

You guys do beautiful work. I've admired this truck since I first saw it several years ago and you just keep making it more impressive.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thanks fellows, it seems like we just can't keep from making improvements...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Agreed, beautiful work. That cover makes a big difference.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thanks Robert...Jim
