Dash looks good mate, i did mine in VHT paint. Also i noticed you're using a 69 model cluster panel (below cluster) will you be running 68 or 69 model dash cluster?

Hey mate,

Looks good, question, have you removed some of the strength by keeping it flat?

Cheers,

Trent

I hope i haven't, its got some square tube on the cabin side and on the inside there will be extra plates around anything bolted on, and the new drain down the middle should add a bit.

todays progress

Awesome mate. How thick is that cooler? Looks like a real snug fit.

Thanks, its a 40mm core and the tanks about 45mm
there is 1.5 mm gap between the apron and cooler, a few washers behind the apron should double that gap

Looking good Aaron. When you have mounted up your radiator, I would come up with some ducting panels/foam etc. to maximise flow through the radiator

Thanks Nick, i been thinking about it but haven't thought of a perfect way of doing it.

Any suggestions?

Heres what the rad mounting is like from the engine side.
there is a AC condenser that sits between radiator and support panel too
