Just getting started, so I thought I'd throw a few pictures up for everyone to check out...what a fun project! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The cooling lines were made with schedule 40 6061 aluminum pipe (1.5" I.D.). We had them bent at a local muffler shop. I had to clean up the areas on the pipe where the die scored it. I also beveled all the edges where the rubber hose attaches so it will accept 1.5" radiator hose (TIGHT fit.) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The cooling lines were wrapped with header wrap before inserting them into the chassis.
