Oh I like this! This front end looks 5000 times better than the last one. And is that the fuel tank in the back of the bench of photo 1?

Also if you wanted to add something "extra" I purchased one of these on ebay a few weeks ago for $14 and they look very nice and pretty close to scale.
Just search "PC radiator" you will find it.

Yeah DTW is right you can find a lot of different sizes. I went with that size because it fits both my GN and super mod and looked scale, and by the looks of your front end I do not think you will have a problem with space so you can go big.
I had seen a very narrow cooler once but cannot find it any more if anyone could help that would be awesome, it was roughly 120mm x 60mm x 40mm and had some pretty large diameter water ports.

Funky if you want one of the coolers I have one with a fan that you can have. I was going to use it on my electric fuel altered but to have enough volume of water for it to cool you need a surplus tank. If your interested just pay the shipping and its yours. Geoff

OHHH yeah that looks "SMOOTH" !!!
If you can pull off running the tires that tucked in under the body with no rubbing that would look absolutely amazing.
