Nice build!

After all these years on PT I cant recall ever seeing this thread. I seen pics of it at LS fest and assumed it was a local Bay Area car that looks very similiar and he sapped in a LS. He would always attend track days at Sonoma.

Is that radiator off the shelf or custom built? Looks like a Griffin? Can you post a pic of how you mounted it?



Thanks

the car you are referring to was probably this car :


I wasn't trying to make a copy of it, but it sort of worked out that way in the end.

I'll have to try to get some pics next time I'm working on it. it's a little hard to see how its mounted. I can tell you that i have 3 rubber isolated mounts on the bottom and 2 on the top that i made using pieces of scrap metal I had lying around. If I had to do it again, I would do it differently as it takes to long to remove / install the radiator. I also notched the frame a minimum amount to clear the radiator, so everything had to be tight enough not to allow contact between the frame and radiator....just another thing I would do differently if I did it again. To many compromises in my design, and I would have been better off tube framing the front for a little more room.
