Are you able to mount the drivers seat in the stock location with that pedal box? What model is it? Just started a similar project ... about 12 months (on my timing) behind you. Thanks

Your project is amazing. It must be really nice to have a body-in-white to work with. I'd love to strip mine down completely and have a clean slate to work on.

I finally got the car to my friends shop Yesterday and after a full days work, finished mounting the Radiator and 2 oil coolers. There is a Local Race Series that will be held here at Homestead that will start with the first race on May 17th. Im shooting to have the car done by then. Monday i will be completing the brake lines and mounting the Brake fluid Resiviors.

What kind of oil coolers did you use? Was it a complete kit or did you fabricate the brackets and lines yourself? I'm trying to figure out which route to take. Thanks in advance.
Your car looks amazing

as for the oil coolers, they are 2x 34 row oil coolers from earls. My friend makes the brackets and will hang them up, i will run the plumbing for them. we will design an airdam to completly catch all the air up the center and then it will escape up through the hood. if you go back to previous posts you will see pics of the hood im using. For now i dont think we will design anything for the oil coolers for catching air.

Ah, what I meant was: where are you going to pull cold air for the engine intake? May I suggest something like this:
They run restrictor plates, but you get the idea. Brake duct hose that runs to the front of the car. Also, you can see they use an air/water oil cooler behind the main radiator. Pretty slick.
