Oil cooler and other fun trunk stuff, ..........The project continues......... Options

[East coaster]

Finished all my rust repairs and now on to some fabrication work. I'm trying to get everything that would require me F'in up my paint to do later out of the way now.

I started my front oil cooler installation this weekend. It's a big ass cooler from C&R and I've decided to vent it out through the fender wells rather than dump the air underneath.

Here's some pics of what I have in mind for the cooler setup. I cut the holes in the fender wells and welded some engine cover steel mesh over them. Then I removed the spare tire mount from the bottom of the trunk and re-welded it to the bulkhead to mount my space saver spare.

I'll be fabbing up a plenum to duct the exit air from the cooler. I'm not settled on fiberglass or aluminum yet, but it will be similar to the lousy photoshop work in red...........
