Brad: Cold beer and cake.......the breakfast of Champions. Good idea about the wire. I've got some tig wire that will work fine for that.

FMX, thanks for the kind words, and nice to hear from you again. Wondered where you have been. If you go back and read everything you are going to have to sift through lots of stuff like cat talk, pictures of pretty (?) women Uncle Bob insists on posting , and several pages of recipes. But hidden among all that stuff is some car building going on too.

Jack and Dave, thanks for the tips on both of those. I'll measure the inlets and outlets on engine and radiator before I go to the store.......good points.

Got a little sanding done on the body today, but mostly Dan and I spent the day putting 4 fans on the wall. It was unGodly hot in there, so we decided to see if we could get some air moving. It did improve the temperature somewhat, and the air moving over us makes you feel cooler too.

I've decided to keep moving ahead with the body prep, that way when my buddy takes it to paint he should have less to do. Should drop the price a little too if he has less work on it. I built a rack to put the body on today so it is about two feet higher off the ground.......sure made it easier to sand that way.
