Very cool!
Looking forward to the completed version.
What cooler did you end up going with? Any accessory fans?

Mine isn't light ivory, but I did the same cooler and a steel bumper. The cooler itself is a Setrab replica of the one used in the 70's on the GT cars. The shroud is a Getty design product. My bumper can be replicated by Original Customs in Grand Rapids Michigan. They did all of the install and fabrication on mine. The bill for the bumper is not for the faint of heart and frankly, I think McMark gave me a good deal on it since the person he was building it for got lightheaded over the price, but expect +- $2000 for this bumper. Oh, and that's after you supply the bumper! The chrome is so good, I'm sending in my already rechromed rear bumper for a redo at the place McMark uses...


Only just spotted that you had responded to my post: thanks! Car looks great.

Price sounds heavy, but when you think about the fabrication work required it probably makes sense.
I'm in UK and hourly rate is probably higher than where you are, so I may have to rethink plans or shop around.

Still wondering who it was that did this with their light ivory car...

Neat, is it going to have a bottom to it or will you just use the trunk floor?

Very nice fiberglass work. How was the duct molded? With a foam male plug? I would like to learn how to do small fiberglass projects like that.

Yes, done over a styrofoam form wrapped in clear packing tape.
After the fiberglass is hard the styrofoam is broken up and removed from the inside.
There is an earlier picture in this thread with the foam still inside.

That looks like an excellent solution and keeps one from having to open up the trunk floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Now if you'd done it in carbon, then really cool !!

This looks great; love the workmanship. I may go this direction on my project, but use some scrap carbon fiber material.

I've got the Patrick Motorsport / Setrab auxiliary front cooler on my big 4, and finding it takes a long time to reach operating temperature, at least when it's cool outside. I've been told the oil thermostat that came with the kit will only block 90% of the flow. So I'm thinking about stuffing a bunch of shop towels in the front opening! Or is there a better solution?

Maybe some magnetic sheet material like you use for signs on cars. Cut to size and stick on as needed.

Magnets, coroplast (corrugated plastic sign material), duct tape, maybe something like venetian blinds...
