Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
As it is with that radiator... if I did that, they would only be about and inch deep... This radiator was just something the PO tossed in at some point and it didn't fit right anyway. Was too tall and not wide enough. I'm gonna look for a shorter radiator and then if I have to ill do something with the mounts. No need to do all that other stuff I said about the scoops... they will stay like they are and just get the opening cut into them.

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
Nice work. I was thinking about doing something like that to my hood.

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
More pics of the good times... undoing work done the wrong way to redo it the right way... Probably should have done this part of the hood first before I started on the scoops...

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
yeah, we'll end up doing something like that, but to a better fitting radiator than this one.. it wasnt right to start with.

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
More progress on the scoops... pretty close buts needs a little more work. Now that I shot a coat of primer on it I can see what needs done better.... and of coarse the holes still need cut. I'm having a hard time deciding what style I should go with...

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
Holes are cut... I'll clean them up and tack some screening behind all the way around the holes to help with strength.. but there is no flexing issue as I left some metal over and under the holes to start with.

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
You're making lemonade there man. My first thoughts were... then I saw the rot... now I'm seeing a pretty cool, custom hood. Well done!

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
When you said help on adding radius's i thought you just meant radiusing the corners but the way you built that ridge around the opening looks pretty nice.

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
Home again this weekend and the only new part waiting on me was a front shock lol... I screwed up on the last parts order and only ordered one so I had to put in an order for the other shock.
Gearing up for another big money order in the next week or two, but until then for the next couple weekends Ill be just be finishing up on the hood and maybe Ill stick the bed on so I can figure out where to mount the gas tank and where the fuel fill is gonna go and so on and so on...

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
I think I figured out what I'm going to do with that awkward notch I was left with when I mounted the visor lower than its supposed to be. Gonna channel a couple lights into them... A couple pieces of 1 1/4" OD pipe and a couple 1" LED lights will work just fine..

Re: Blood Sweat and Tears.. 67 Build Thread
Didn't do much last weekend other than some sanding. I gotta get to the sheet metal shop to get a piece bent up for the front edge of the hood repairs, so i kicked her outside and did a "little" garage cleaning... meaning that i grabbed the blower and blew out a ton of dust
