Since the valance and the radiator tray were rusted out the fun started. This is what I started with after exploratory surgery...

Bud, all the photos show a red "X" on my computer...

(good looking red "X" though)

Only thing red I see here is those sexy li'l jets onna bottom of th' carbs. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Bud, you may want to rethink your valence treatment. That stuff blocks at least 75% of the airflow.
Other than that, looking good.

Thanks Jeff - I didn't think it would make a difference on the valance - I've got 5 or 6 more samples to play with.

Bud, if that's where you will be putting the oil cooler, you want all the air you can get. If no oil cooler, it still puts more air into the engine compartment.

Well, all I see is a red "X" in a box!

Nothing happens when you click on <u>After surgery</u>, <u>New </u><u>wings</u>,
<u>New Tray</u>, etc. next to the box with the red X in the original post??

 

[tony barnhill]

When I click on the link, I see the photo - but the photo itself doesn't show up where the red "X" is like its supposed to.

 

[budk1953]

Sorry Tony, I can see them, I've got the digital set on lowest setting and reduce them for web page viewing, anybody else can't see them? Any suggestions?

 

[tony barnhill]

Now that I've clicked on the links, the photos appear!

 

[Bugeye58]

I can see them just fine, Bud.

More samples....

SAMPLES

Bud, from least restrictive to most:
1,2,3,4.
The PO of my Fiat put something roughly equivalent to #3 in front of the radiator, and I had cooling problems. I switched to #1 and the problem went away.
McMaster Carr has various forms of the stuff listed, with specifications regarding flow percentages.
