Re: Project "Sweet 16"

99, I can take a pic tomorrow of the engine and rad support. I didn't want to angle it that much, but the Steering box is RIGHT behind the rad support now. I can't physically make it any more vertical. If Humvees can run the rad at a 45* angle, I'm sure I can run this one at 20*.

I think it has to do with where I mounted the cab, it seems to be slightly farther forward than most. I only had to move the engine back 2.5" while it sounds like the common figure is 5 inches. Most conversions I've seen have the front wheel closer to the forward edge of the wheelwell opening. Michael was determined to have the wheels exactly where they are.

Also, thanks Shannon and Mknittle, as always for the compliments. Hopefully this thing will run and drive straight down the highway... Stopping would be a bonus as well...
