And, it fits the radiator well enough that I didn't have to make a shroud. A lot of hot rodders are using this fan. You can find them on eBay for $50 to $100 for a great used one.

Thanks for looking out about the clutch!!

So how badly have you hyper-extended your knees bending over those C3 fenders?

I have a 72 LT-1.

I have it 2 clicks up on my heavy jack stands. This ain't my first rodeo with this thing. I have to raise it up today or tomorrow to get the exhaust on it. I ordered a Pypes brand complete with an X pipe for it. Test fit was great, except for the bracket at the transmission. Modification is going to happen...


Soon as I figure out how to post pics again...

I don't have pictures yet, but my neighbor and I got the exhaust system done yesterday. I'll get it final welded, and get a pic of it, maybe. Kinda hard to do on jack stands...

Been kinda slow for a few days. I ordered some parts and took some time off, but I'm going to hit it hard today, and I have tomorrow off. I hope to get a good bit done this long weekend!!!

that is an art form. It took Chevrolet about 40 hours to build that car. It easily takes 5 years for a man to rebuild the same car
