    Mine is an aluminun crossflow radiator with the inlet/outlets correct for a Cleveland from Afco Racing. It fits between the frame rails but you still need to make mounts for it :tiphat:

    Thanks.....



    I finished buffing this morning, then wiped it down( it's looking pretty good )..... After that I took it down off the rotissorie and currently have it sitting on jack stands..... I loaded the rotissorie up in the truck and returned it, except for the 4 large wheels and 2 of the 10 foot runners which I will need to put it back on the cart tomorrow in the am.....

    Here's the rotissorie stuf all loaded up and ready to go back.....

    This morning I got the cross bars modified and the mount stands for the chassis cart done, then got the car on it..... Atfter that I cleaned for a while and I still have a mess to clean up, oh well there is always next week.....

    Here's the stands and the car on the cart, I used the holes in the front torque boxes and the holes in the rear frame rails right beside the front leaf spring mounts.....

    Thanks alot, I apreciate the interest.....




    This was a pretty easy thing for me to make because the two 10 foot long bars and the 4 wheel assemblies were all part of the rotissorie I barrowed..... I just had to make the cross bars and the mount risers.....
