koolrayz Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for all the kind words. I put the engine and trans back in yesterday and found the trans bracket I bought to fit the powerglide doesnt work. Here is a picture of the car starting to be lowered over the engine. I will probably just retrofit the stock bracket. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05567.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolrayz Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Got one side of the coil relocation finished, after the other side is mounted I will measure and order the custom wires. Finished installing my Wolfe anti roll bar and welded the seams where the parachute hooks up, around the roll cage mounting points and the mounting tabs for the anti roll bar. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05865.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05866.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05867.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05868.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05869.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05855.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05856.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05858.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05859.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC05857.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 This project is absolutely unreal! What kind of technology will you be using to keep this on the ground? I don't think simple gravity will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolrayz Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 RAY! its been almost two months since an update? i need my fix!!!!! how is the car coming along? My transmission is a powerglide with a ringless billet input shaft so it doesn't pump through the cooler ports. So for the trnsmission cooling I tapped the pan with an inlet and outlet for a cooler loop and a temperature probe for a thermostat. I bought a small gear pump,cooler and fan and mounted it in the back of the car with the fuel pump. The system is always hot and will cool the trans in the pits between runs. Its adjustable between 90* and 210* .http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC06366.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC06367.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC06368.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC06369.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC06370.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc122/koolrayz/DSC06371.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
