I am getting closer to filling this bad boy up with water. I know you all have voiced opinions and recomendations on the cooling system, but I am too deep in this project to change. I look to you guys for help and knowledge so I will post the outcome in about a week.

In the meantime, I am still working on other small things before I fire her up. I just finished cutting and intalling the front grille. One of the members suggested I buy a grille from a late model 350z. Found one on ebay for 50.00 brand new and it fits darn near perfect in terms of the curvature of the bumper. Had to make some slight modifications to mount it but it came out pretty good.

Okay, finally got this thing mounted. It looks decent. I also built an air dam. Not sure if it will help but I did it just the same.

Looks legit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Much better than my gaping holes as well.
