Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Which sucked. I mis-measured, and cut the hole in a spot that interferes with the water pump.

So I made another one. Made from Corolla roof.





Also made up some AN hoses to connect the oil cooler to the motor.



That completed mounting the Intercooler, Trans cooler, A/C condenser, P/S cooler, Radiator, and engine oil cooler, all where only the radiator sat alone.

Next I need to finish the A/C hoses, and then the cab will come off. Still waiting on rust panels though.

Also gazed upon the beauty of the PQY fuel pressure regulator, a favourite of the Sloppy Mechanics folks.



Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the magnitude of this project, too. I'm thinking I've bitten off more than I can chew.
