Re: 51 Chev on a S10 frame, named Dale

As I was assembling the front sheet metal I noticed that the top 1/2 of the rad will be covered by the hood. So, I decided to fab up a wind deflector to make sure that as much air would flow through the rad as possible.


Not sure if anyone is having overheating problems with their S10 conversions, but here is my solution, to a problem that I don't know if I had.

1st pic the metal form
2nd pic mocked up
3rd pic installed and painted

also, might not look too impressive, but I removed the rod from my clutch slave cylinder, cut up an old screw driver 1 inch longer, and installed it........... and now it shifts !!!! now I need to get a machine shop make me a proper push rod.
