Hi,

that is awesome ... I love the little touches like the overflow bottle, hood release (much better than my vise grips), and the domed hub covers 

IowaEagle:
Very nice.  I love the black.

When we put a sbc in our spirit body I got one of those universal radiators from Summit racing, fit like a,glove and that way the hoses matched up between the engine and to radiator

Looks great, that should make it go fast!

WASyL:
Well im about 6000 miles from nearest Summit shop so for me it is cheaper make custom one here, but thanks for info :)

best regards
