I love my new HF portaband (corded) but sometimes you have to answer the OSHA gods and use it like this

That's it for now. I have ordered a bunch of AN fittings and hoses and have almost all my wiring harnesses here now so I can start on those things. 

Progress continues...

Any rust you see on the firewall is just surface rust. There are actually aluminum spacers between that aluminum plate and the firewall. All the bolts that hold that panel in place go through the firewall and through the frame that holds the pedals. It's all one large assembly to sandwich the firewall and spread the load from the pedals over a larger area.

I added the aluminum plate on the engine side just to give me a clean and raised surface to mount things too as needed.

It's easy to drill it out and add a riv nut.

That is an understatement. There will be a radiator in the nose but it's a 12x12x2 in thick and will be used for cooling intercooler water only.

At the end of the month it will be at my buddy's shop for a full cage and bed bars.

We are mounting the radiator for the engine on the bed bars along with the fans and shroud.

Will it cool as good as a front mount radiator, probably not. I expect the fans to run a little more often than they normally would but I don't think overheating is going to be an issue.

Well, off road racers use rear-mount radiators without issue. It'll look cool too. Plus a shit ton of coolant volume.

Yeah those are my thoughts as well.

Thanks man.  I definitely do like the way it looks with fenders on it. Probably equally as much as I like the way it looks without them. 

My issue is I have widened the front track so much that the original fenders will no longer work to cover the wheels and it's not even close.

The front fenders have a convenient rib that runs front to rear that I could cut them there but I would have to widen them like 12 or 14" and it would just look too strange losing the original fender shape.

Maybe I'll try for fenders on the next one Smiley
