I think you need to plan an "It's Done!" party. I'll be there. We need a West Coast party once a year after it cools off to hook up and place names to faces...

Keep us posted grippy!

here's the latest project almost complete.......I had the two truck heat exchangers I was running welded together at approx the lower bumper bracket mounting angle; then had some L-brackets I fabbed up welded on the rear H/E so a pair of small e-fans could be bolted up. I think I am going to run these H/E'ers in parallel and see how that works out as far as IAT's are concerned. This dual setup will be mounted ala' Joe gibbs brackets behind the front bumper.







I drilled holes in the center of the L-brackets so they could be zapped for a little extra support:


puller E-Fans staged, but not mounted yet:
