I've been slowly gathering steam on this. After talking to the folks at the G&R flesh roast,, I'd thought I'd share some pics and thoughts.

I don't want to do any major cutting on my conversion. My goal is to have 2 usable trunks, and a car that can be easily converted back to a stocker. There have been a few threads where the possibility/impossibility of an engine bay radiator. Here's my take on it. I believe that at 25+ mph there is a low pressure spot behind the back window. I think this will be enough to suck air up through the engine compartment.
I would love to hear some constructive criticism.

I have made my own GT style lid from two chrome grills. It's held down with quick-latches. I think it looks OK for now. until I clean up my cooling system a bit, speaking of which,,,
I've driven her on 100 degree days now, still no overheats. I was a bit low on water too. On normal days my car is a cool running cat. I want to sort my suspension, but I don't know where to begin. I had a fellow teener hop behind the wheel of my car for an evaluation run. John was pretty impressed, despite the fact that he wasn't used to my gear box and couldn't find 1st. When the test drive was over,, I suggested that he pull on the ebrake lever with some force,,, only one side is currently working. Pop! went the cable inside the cabin. bummer,, oh well I have a wtb add up.

anybody local want a ride? I have the FI 95% done and she feels pretty good! I'm thinking about adding heat now,,,,

-Robert
