Has anyone thought about putting the ABS unit right where the rubber grommet comes through the fender well shown in the picture, the spot right below the diagonal brace? That is where I was planning on moving mine any problems with doing so? Also WTF is that metal canister on EZ speed's pic. I was just going to move my ABS there and put the wires through the same hole, but then I saw that and was wondering if I am missing something.

Nathan, where did you get the pieces for the front corners of the cylinder heads to plumb the coolant through -AN lines? I'd like to get those little pieces if they are available someplace. Thanks, and keep up the inspirational work!
BLESSINGS! Sam

I can share some pics of what I've done so far - but it's NOTHING like the magic you've done on your car. Your car is as much a piece of artwork as ANYTHING I've ever seen in an art museum. (don't understand art - but I understand the heck outta what you are doing!) All I've done so far is beef things up underneath in preparation for what's to come under the hood, and some tunes. These pics will be snooze-fest compared to yours. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=975d834163 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=99c11195da https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=b43abe160e Did you just run the one pair at the front of the heads or did you also plumb the rear up to the front as well? BLESSINGS! Sam

Cheaper link below and it comes with the bolt despite not being shown in the pics. One of these days mine will go on with hard line plumbing, they're sitting in one of my boxes. Most would argue rears are not necessary but when driven hard on a road course it can increase the risk of steam pockets that can overheat a cylinder. 99% of people don't need the rears but if you're going to do it or build lots of power why not do it all the way.

Thanks so much to all of you guys!
That last pic LSX posted looks so nice. I had been thinking about doing something like this that I saw in Hot Rod Magazine once....but I think I'd rather do something more like Nathan's setup.

Hey Chris thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm Quick update: Been working on the brakes lines. This has been another learning experience.There's so much to learn when you've never done something like this before! Here is my first attempt at bending stainless steel brake lines. just kinda playing around right now. Ran out of time, I will add text to the pics tomorrow. |

Nathan,
I promise I will take lots of pics and post them when I start getting my hands dirty again. You know, as impressive as your work, and attention to detail is, it's nothing compared to the generosity of spirit you display. I've been following this build thread for well over a year now, I think. In that time, I've always been impressed - actually blown away - by how you share your time, insight, experience, knowledge, resources - all freely and cheerfully. You have helped so many people with ideas, projects on their own cars, finding parts, offering advice and help. You've blessed a LOT of people. That, to me, is WAY more impressive than what you've done with your hands. I commend you, and thank you. BLESSINGS! Sam

BTW, I was thinking about your idea of running traditional braided stainless steel lines. What were you planning to use for the end that connects to the plastic barb at the radiator? This might be an option for you if you hadn't though of it already. It will cover the wires as they tend to flare out at the ends. |
