It is a 99 civic 4 core radiator. I ran into a guy running a regular 2 core on a 302 and he said his never went above 190. When I found the 4 core I thought, hey better yet.

Started mocking up the fuel tank today. Was working on steering but waiting on U joints. Now I need to order fuel tank stuff while I get my ideas going. Pretty sure it’s shaking down like this. Center mounted internal pump to supply in the front of the tank behind the axle and a removable panel in the floor of the trunk. Baffles around the pump and a couple lengthwise in the tank. Level sender in there as well. This is as big as I could get this 13gal. With the dual exhaust I gave up about 8” of width which cost about 5gal. Oh well. If we can get 24mpg we’re good

Well I got my axle back from the speed shop. What a joke, the guy said my new billet bearing caps were .015 out of round. I ID’d them with an inside gauge at the torque spec and they were fine. So now I get to put this rear end together. I have some more done too but have been kind of disenchanted with this site lately.
Saturday I found Prestige Interiors had a big sale 45% off with free shipping from the UK so I ordered my interior.

I am noticing a lot of the "usual suspects" are missing these days. I think folks got tired of the up and down of the site and have went elsewhere.

Your spot on Thom. That and I have to compress pics to post, it’s such a PIA with an Apple phone on this site.
So the bottom was seam sealed with Velkum polyurethane, then coated the bottom, one coat of Por-15 and one coat of enamel paint. Both Coates with ceramic microspheres. I can’t decide if I want a thicker coat of something. Currently working on getting the rear axle back in and front suspension in and steering done. A little bit of welding left but not too much. I sent the front shocks to Madison for rebuild, kinda working toward a roller here.

I get that, I’ll check it out. That seems like something google pictures should be able to do. I’ll bet doesn’t though.

I've never had good luck using the img tags with google photos.
My phone backs up to Google, then I have to download & upload to postimg.

Have heard similar 'complaints' with apple photos/icloud, but I'm not an iFruit user, so can't comment.

Alice landed on the ground yesterday to look at this perspective is weird. It’s much lower than I had in my head. Still higher than the 7 though and not bad to get in and out of, which is real nice.


Merry Christmas

Thanks. Any ideas on where to get small center caps? Ones that don’t look like they belong on a truck? Everything I find are like 3” long.
