Driving lights out oil cooler in?, Oil coolers in front for efficient cool air not hacking up the trunk Options

After about 20 min of freeway driving under nromal conditions my oil is getting to hot on my 2.0 - 4 now 2056. As a result I've looked at a number of ideas for external cooling in the rear and feel that the best way is really up front though don't realy want to cut into the trunk area. I'm considering removing the fog lights and installing a oil cooler in each of the fog light locations and venting to the rear of the front tires. I'm just in the thought stage after talking with some of the guys at Jeffs celebration Saturday. I realy like the way Andy has done his though just can't bring myself to cut into my new paint or give up my trunk area besides I want to keep her a bit stock looking so I've been looking at a number post here of the set ups in the rear and worry about the efficiency in an area that is heated by the engine, exhaust, and blacktop though certainly less $$ I'm sure. Has any one successfully done this or seen it before? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I agree defiantly after talking with the guys Saturday I checked the thermostat as soon as I got back home and it seems to be good. I have oil temp, head temp and the dipstick temp gauge. I'm guessing the head temperature would read out temperatures at a defferant rate and forgot to check the dipstick gauge wich I kind of think would not be as accurate but not sure and just didn't think to check it. I am going to go for a drive later today and compare them as its supposed to be in the mid 90 here today would love to replace the sender and be done with it. I also would like to look for someone to check the timing carbs and anything else that may cause her to run hot as well. I've used a shop in Oakland years that is about 2 hours south of my home in Ukiah and have always been happy with them in the past but can't hurt to check with a different shop. If anyone has a shop they believe in that might be closer with knowledge of our cars would realy like to hear of them. Im not just wanting to add more to the car to cool it but seem to be two sides on the temperature and 2056 engines some saying (my present shop) that it's a good idea and after this weekend talking to people that I regard as very knowledgeable need to check more. I've been waiting to get out and realy drive this car for so long I'm probably kind over anxious.
