Typically this would be killing my perfectionism, but damn I couldn’t do much better giving the space issues.

Paint and I’ll rarely have to look at it again!

Smear some seam sealer on it with a putty knife before you paint it haha.

If anyone ever gives you sheetz over the appearance of an upside down weld, then just remember - you’re in the presence of a douche bag!! If it doesn’t break, then to hell with them 😉

After more than 2 months, I was able to drive my grocery getter!!

SPAL 12” fans arrives (finally):


Final product:


My old man was in town so he helped, begrudgingly? 🤣


20AN hose fitting:


Bleeding/burping out the air:

Happy with the final product:


Happy with the result! Fans are controlled by electronic thermostat and I have a manual override switch in car. Running distilled water and water wetting. Fans move some air; cruised about 175*F and about 185*F sitting and idling.

New switch panel as well:

How did you attach the AN fitting to the water pump.

I need to get a radiator funnel.

Love the pic of your father flippin' off the fans - there has to be a back story there.(?)

AN fitting on the rad, stock truck water pump on the other.

Radiator funnel is the best!

Bird was for “me making him work while on vacation in Florida” 🤣🤣
