Did some more work over the weekend. Actually got a lot done considering the amount of time i had.
Conveniently, this mach 1 mustang wheel and tire gave the rad a perfect height, so i used it as a stand for it while building.
Bent up some tube to come off the frame rail and drop down to grab the bottom of the rad. Cut the top of the tube at a slight angle to pitch it towards the middle so there wasnt a 27" rad in a 35" space.
then replicated it on the other side.
Modified some rad brackets to bend around the bottom tube i will be using to support the rad. just used a piece of scrap tube and bend them around it.
Then i notched up the tube that will run across. Notching without a notcher is a pain, but needed to be done.
then tac'd it, and the rad brackets, in place.
huzzah.
