I know I know enough already, but here is the final product!

cableguy0 · 03-28-2015, 02:43 PM

I like it. Nice mix of old and new.

Robznob11 · 03-28-2015, 02:48 PM

I still need to clean up the wiring more but paint is my main concern now

That looks like a BMW V8 engine cover. Very clever!

Clean looking, nice job. What upper radiator hose did you use?

Robznob11 · 04-12-2015, 10:07 AM

I believe that hose is for a 94 model truck with a vortech. I just went and measured and picked it off the wall. And yes it is a bmw cover reversed

Pretty sure it's a gates 22013, you have to cut off the enlarged end on the engine side, other than that it fits like a glove
