Frustrated with overheating issues in traffic I bought a new never used Nascar truck rad and welded on mounts and inlet/outlet necks and a few bungs for water temp gauge and drain plug/ anode. Then I used a stock repop 26" fan shroud and had to mod it as it didn't fit right and was too short. Then I had to make a thermostat housing to suit my new rad . Just need to weld on the chevy neck and metal finish it some.  It better not give me any more trouble with overheating! Ditched the second electric fan for a mechanical engine driven fan. Done screwing around! >:(

Made some hubs up over the winter for my new k-frame project.



Then I liked the look of the rim blow cap on a new tuff wheel, but it didn't fit right.


So I machined up a spacer...

I haven't installed these yet, it's next on my to do list.... Speedhut gauges, tried to make them look as stock as possible? Cut up an extra stock gauge mount /cluster to fit in the new gauges.

Used a extra speedo for a shroud.
