Today was a good day.
Met up with MikeN to get a fan and fan clutch from his 65 Impala. It ended up fitting almost perfectly with my new shroud. The old fan was too far into the shroud once I moved the radiator to the correct, v8 location and installed the shroud. Thanks again Mike!
After getting the fan, I went and picked up a 60 hood. It's got the usual rust, but I think I can fix it eventually lol. It's one of those things that I just couldn't pass up.
Yesterday, I got a switch so that I could completely turn off power to the overdrive system whenever I want to drive it in lockout. I used on of the holes already in the bottom of the dash, so I didn't have to drill any extra holes. I plan to pull a few trailers, so I probably won't be using the overdrive when I do that.
Happy 4th!
