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!)

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.

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)

@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...

The drive train is out for the belt service, new clutch, etc. so it's time to wrap up the engine bay chassis updates. Here's the newly stamped console reinforcement tacked in. I updated the stamping die so the indent would more closely match the one on the shock tower. Not that you'll even be able to see them at the same time. Why do I insist on making everything a bigger production than it needs to be? Oh, right: Style Points! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

And yep, the sockets fit just fine. I'm going to 3D print a cover for that area to prevent crap from getting in there.

OK, doing the engine service must mean you are getting close to turning the key.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Both sides fit and tacked in place. Now for final welding and adding the plating that ties these back to the shock tower.

You always find a way to add style points, while also making sure it fits, functions, and can be maintained. Not easy to hit all those marks so understandably it takes time.

Can’t wait to hear this thing fire up!

I love this build. Look forward to every video.
Engine out eh? Hmmm you must be close like Michael said. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Looking spectabular as usual!
