The radiator appears to be floating from inside the engine bay. You can't see any brackets holding it up. The shroud in the pic is a mock up. The one we are using was custom made by Derale. We will post pics when we get it from powder coating.

Holy crud that's gorgeous!!! Nathan you guys need to get a photographer out there with a good camera to take pictures before you go any further; these are literally once-in-a-lifetime moments of a legendary build in-progress. You really need to document all this because I'm pretty sure you're going to need it for either a magazine and/or a book. Do it now while all these areas are easily accessed and visible.

Maybe even contact one of the performance magazines to see if they'd be interested in an "exclusive" story in exchange for one of their photographers to follow your progress to the finish line.

What you guys are doing is really that good.

OMG awesome

vroomapunk · 10-31-2013, 12:17 PM

oh my god. I actually said that out loud when I saw these pictures. This is stunning, and just so unique and wow.

Also, I agree on the pro photographer

You guys need to put out a large format coffee table book. We'd buy a few

Synner · 10-31-2013, 03:30 PM

Dang Nathan, it's starting to look like a car again. Not very sporting of you though since you'll win every car show you take it to.

Since mine will look stock I think I should start a new thread: Project cleaning the basement
I'll post a new pic every time a box disappears. Just need my wheels now, 1.5 months to go.

And put me down for one of those oversized coffee table books

It really will be a shame to add the body parts.

Nice fort!

Im thinking of how the wheel liners will look.

I think you should get carbon fiber wheel well liners. You could even paint the wheel/tire side flat black so the CF is only seen from the engine bay side.

Its ridiculous by normal standards but not for this build haha.

+1, this is going to look absolutely amazing when it is done! There may not be enough words to describe it.

I really couldn't agree more or said it better myself.

Truly unbelievable the extent of this build...

The saddest part of this build is that when Nathan gets it back together again......he'll decide to pull it all apart again and polish it up some more.
But seriously......someone should give this guy a job doing this.
