Cool, I like it, I think I can get away with a much smaller one though, I actually am considering two Honda civic radiators in series, in a wing..

It's also a convertible so there's a ton of airflow unlike your hard top....

Right, but in my experience, the elec fans are usually more than sufficient for cooling if you got the right size rad..

I like the wing idea.  If you have any ??? just call him his ## is on his wing, oh and I didn't see his handicap sticker so ask about that too. :police:

IMO ,2 smaller radiators MAY cause enough pressure drop to impede water flow. I'm not too sure about that idea. May be fine but ,again IMO, 1 properly sized radiator is best.

Cool. Why don't you bust ass some more and come to LS for the get together. I know it's a long pull for ya but I can guarantee you'd have a hell of a good time. Gonna be a great group of DTS members there!  Right guys?!!!!!

I finally dug a path back to my Baja project. I haven't touched it for years. I thought it might give you some ideas. I think I made sure the back of the wing was at the same level as the back glass. I have room for a larger radiator if needed. Tim

Looks like it could have been a cool bug, what happened? Thanks for the help! I like the way they look with a wing, you don't see it much..

When I was close to finishing, I got married. Then stepson was about to be 16. Didn't want 16 year old in Baja on highway. I have numerous projects that aren't finished, usually money limits. Tim
