Got these things a few weeks back. Havnt had a chance to touch them yet.. but I have them!







literally just tossed in the car, will need to be trimmed down and lowered. the ghetto supports will go away finally! should be really clean looking.

looks great cant wait for burnouts

Yesssssssssss

I was looking at some photos and I am interested in those pusher fans you have on the radiator.
Custom made or store bought kit?
Do you have a manufacturing part number/info on them?

Mmmm Big n beefy frame rails.

B is for build did a similar 90* dropdown going into the trunk for my his M5/240 cart project.
For the rear of the car he ended up a using a Jegs backhalf kit - or something like that.

As you can see - he hasn't really touched the rear end - so far hes barely gotten the motor/trans/rear diff bolted to the frame.

Zero update.. been too busy fixing the house..

The fans:

Just universal, Actually put one of them on my geo lol. They work great I thInk. Freed up a ton of space!

Ill have to check that build out! Sounds interesting. I saw 2 of his builds at the gambler 500 a month or so ago. I looked at the jegs kits, But Decided to make what I wanted instead of making something else work. Not exactly budget friendly.. but whatever lol.

Thanks, I have a 3100 CFM dual fan unit at the moment and although it fits I did have to trim the passenger side lower radiator hose to help it out a little bit.
I like how yours are pushers, I wouldn't have to trim the radiator hose again if I was to ever replace it.

Yeah, you dont realize how much room they fans take up untill they are gone! They say pusher fans are not as efficient but I never had any issues. Worked good enough for me.

Yah I think thats because of suction Vs pressure. But for a car I doubt its noticeable.

I assumed it's because they block frontal real estate as a pusher and not as a puller.

I might actually have to look that up. im curious now..


made a little bit of progress this weekend, jumped away from what I should be doing, had to take a break from reality.

FINALLY finished cutting out the drivers side for the frame rail. little bit of minor touchups to do, the rail physically fits. I think next weekend ill kill the rust and get it tacked in. Just out of time this weekend.



Also picked this thing up awhile back. Need to get a torch and pedal still but this will step up the build! few things I didnt want to use the mig welder for too so it will be nice to be able to do it myself with a tig. I foresee titanium parts in the future.

Keep pluggin!

Alxsmt -

What wall thickness is the 2x4 HSS you used? 1/8"?

To insure it, are you just going to pretend its not modded and insure as usual or you insuring as a modified vehicle?

its 1/8" (.120) 2x4.

I have no idea how I will insure it, I havnt gotten that far yet, Ill figure it out when its running! End of the day its "just a beretta"..

I insure my old Plymouth through a company in Florida that has options for limited or unlimited mileage, selectable deductibles, and an 'agreed upon' value. They have a good reputation for backing their policy, or at least they did... Your Beretta is probably old enough, a company like that might actually cover it... IIRC, they were willing to cover my GTU a few years ago, because it was over 25 years old and maybe because it is a special edition. The only special requirement was that you had to have a 'daily driver' registered and insured elsewhere. Hmm, I've got to get a policy on my less-old Plymouth too, now that I think about it...
