Err 2*H + O? Not very soon (if ever from non power-critical or fleet vehicle applications ). Too energy intensive/expensive to crack water, though the Army is working on some high temp cells that can run off of junk methane (they pollute though).

At work all H2 is cracked by hydropower at Niagra Falls which is a pretty neat/clean alternative.

Anyways, hyjack over.

I haven't read this thread all the way through...but here is my question. Are you planning on blending the old headlight door into the rest of the body work (to the front bumper and to the outside of each headlight door). Consider doing this...because otherwise it will look like the twin light packs will revolve around or flip up and down. Blending will create a cleaner look as well.

I am curious about 2 things:
1) are the headlights aim-able within the housing? If not it seems that the way you trim them could lead to headlights pointing off one way or the other.
2) what size (diameter) are the individual reflectors?

seems like part of that unit could be grafted onto the existing headlight door for a factory look with out all the cutting and shaping (When I try to modify something to fit it usually looks like it was done by a second grader!)



1) check this video, they are already fixed, they have screw for adjustment and already test them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAfEjAERWuM

2) I dont have the car here right now but they are about 2" 1/2


Hope this help.


That is pretty sweet! What transmission did you go with? The engine sounds healthy.

I spoke too soon. I have dial up and your pics took a long time to load up. Now I see what you've done to the headlight area. Looks real nice. I also like the rear intakes you made into the Sheridan quarters. Very nice. I did a similar treatment using modified 996TT intakes. What kind of V-8 are you putting in...and how much HP. What trans are you using? Keep posting your progress. It is coming along very well. It took me about 7-8 years to get as far as I have and it still isn't complete.

Stock transmission, it has been very difficult to find one here in the island and don't have a good contact in the continental US. My only resource by now is the evilbay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Today I decide to do some work on the hood vent. I took and old cotton shirt and some clamps to make a mold for the future hood vent tunnel?

I Attached the shirt to the radiator fan with some screws. Used the clamps to stretch the shirt and maintain the form I wanted. I applied some marine resin (the one u use for wood, was the only thing available around). I hope this work. Otherwise I would have to use the fiberglass resin or maybe BONDO?

BTW I have to paint the hood again because Im going to do more mods, since I dont like the look, so I dont care right now about if the paint get damage.

I will let you guys know later how its going.

Hope this help for new ideas to the watercooled engine swap guys.
