    Looks like a nice fit those big blocks sure do eat up some space!

    They most certainly do but I think we should get it all in.

    One thing we was working on last week was those inner fenders, my brothers coupe has the same ones and they cross the frame blocking the upward path of the radiator brackets that hold it to the frame making it impossible to remove the radiator without tearing the front end apart or doing what my brother did over 16 years ago and mounting the radiator underneath the frame and removing it from the bottom if it needs to be pulled, this also makes it visible and I know my brother hates it so we fixed the problem on mine.

    So we cut out a clear path for the brackets to clear and used a piece of wood cut to the same width to test it.
