Got a nice B&M transmission cooler from Tony Cetta. It is thermostat controlled with a fan mounted to the front of the cooler. I didn't want to put it in front of the radiator, as the airconditioner condenser is already mounted there. My thoughts were, too much blockage through the radiator.
Decided to mount it on the frame behind the passenger side running board. Made a couple of brackets to hang it off the frame. Couldn't figure out what fittings were needed coming out of the transmission for the cooling lines. Found a website that did the same as I was doing with great pictures and all the numbers for the fittings and lines. (GOOGLE is great). Got them all from Summit Racing on Monday and installed it all on Tuesday. Decided I needed a guard to protect the cooler and fan from any road rash. Bought a piece of perforated metal and made the guard. Still have to make some end pieces for the guard and then paint all the parts.
No Job Johnny came down and helped me work on straightening one of the running boards and also fitting the floor cover for the transmission.
Going to try to get some more sandblasting done on metal parts before the weather turns bad.
I think the running gear is very close to starting the engine. If not this fall, next spring for sure.
