New Nova Radiator Support

#1 Post by John_Heard » Fri Apr 15, 2011 7:36 am

Thought I'd post a pic of what I've been working on the last few weeks. It's mostly done now, just need to add something to mount the spoiler to.

That looks pretty good John. How much weight do you suppose that'll save ?

At best, maybe 12 lbs over the stock one, including the amount whacked off the frame rails. Lot of work, not much weight savings. It goes tougher the further you go...

Yes, but beyond the weight savings, that just looks cool. That's gotta count for something :smt003

It looks really nice, but I thought you were not going to run a radiator. I thought you were switching to cold water resivors.

I am - notice there are no radiator mounts. That deal is just to hold the grill, headlights and fenders where they belong.
