Scalper Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Hello. So. I forgot to install the rad and the electric fan before a put the body on. So I had to wedge the rad in and place the fan on the shroud. Electric fan might get wanked and rethought. Need to make rad hoses. So I’m going to try some old rca. Cables.

zak78 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Cool. I've been wanting to build an early third-gen and haven't done one since the early 90s at the latest. Great thread for reference. The exhaust looks *exactly* like the one I had on my '79 during sophomore year of high school in 1994 lol. It's hard to believe we used to just run a set of headers to glasspacks, clamp on a couple of crush-bent 90-degree bends and call it a day...

Scalper Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Ok goal for this weekend is to have this completed. Should I add a screaming chicken to the hood ? Edited March 8, 2019 by Scalper f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me, the screaming chicken is too cheesy for anything other than the equally cheesy 2nd gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
