    I spent some time yesterday mocking up the final mounting spot for all of the major components. I ended up moving the radiator and the engine for ward 2-3" from my original plan. I also moved the body and the rear axle forward by 5 inches.

    This is complicated a little bit by the fact that I want to use a mechanical cooling fan for the "old school 50's look". I will have to mount the radiator a couple inches higher than I would prefer to. I spent a few hours juggling things around, up, down, back and forth until I got everything into what I believe is the best looking and most functional setup.
