I'm nothing if not ineffecient! It took me a full day to get the frunk hard lines fitted. Final welding of a few joints and this coolant system will be all set.
I'm happy with how it's turning out, especially now that I'm doing everything on my own, including the aluminum welding. Yes, I miss hanging out with Martin but I need to develop! Still a ways to go on that skill but the results are functional if not quite beautiful (yet!) Attached thumbnail(s)

Looking good with the aluminum welding training wheels off!
Curious how you’re going to insulate the tubing? Making good progress, even if it’s painfully slow at times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Radiator hard lines all done. Amazing what a little Scotch-Brite can do to an aluminum tube. I'm happy with how these turned out.

Very nice looking. Pretty soon you will have nothing left but to turn the key. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

And here's the detail of getting to those hard lines pictured above.

I need an oil catch can.
I love symmetry. Problem solved! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Yep, I picked up another Ferrari 360 coolant fill tank, made a mirror image bracket set and: done! Well, almost done. I still need to add the appropriate fittings and lines but, come on! This looks so cool, it's all factory parts so I'm claiming I've earned solid style points on this one. Attached thumbnail(s)

Something reminded me of this today and I realized it would be perfect for this project.

Definitely coming along. I really like the 3D printer thoughts. The Mickey Mouse ears on my 3.6 are 3D printed out of some special material (I don't recall what it was) and they are beautiful and strong. Keep up the great work Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thank you for the Saturday morning entertainment!
Always pleasant to see the enginnering and craftmanship! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Now, I have to ask. What's the deal with the "SMALL" engine valve on top of your tool box in the background at the end of the video? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) @Montreal914 - I was wondering if anyone would notice that! It came out of a 2-stroke diesel submarine engine. I use it as a shop towel roll holder... |
