Did you choose not to do the fan motor or was there another issue?

What kind of paint you gonna use?

well got a bit of work done today

we worked on getting the clutch zbar all hooked up which is ghetto rigged at the moment waiting on some new parts to come in and need a return spring which I have to order monday grr.

mounted the inner fenders mounted the fan shroud, and did a test fitment with the passenger fender OMG almost a car again course i need to address some issues with the fender since it has had body work apparently before and I need to bend the fender lip to clear the inner fender, no biggie.
