Looks great! When are you starting general production? And can you do them for $50?

oh yea it gets hot. usually runs about 260 on a normal day. Im fixing up the crushed oil lines as we speak. Hopefully that helps alot. either way ill upgrade to a 28 row cooler when i find a decent deal on one. Thanks for the compliments guys. As for production maby someday when i quit my day job Im kind of a one off kinda guy

Nice work. But ... If I spent 4 hours of my "billable" time it would run about $240.00 in labor!

Seriously, nice work, and very inventive.

I fixed my oil lines today i silver soldered in some new sections of 3/4 copper. Came out good but still runs hot about 240-250. I hate to do it but i think im going to have a local porsche wrench look at it and check the timing and mixture and look for air leaks. Maby he will find somthing i didnt think of.

I'm sorry to say you have violated my patent on the cooler scoop and I will expect royalities of 20% on every one you sell. Any futher violations could result in stern waring from the "Cooler Scoop Protection Association", the SCPA we call it here at JM PRODUCT DESIGN headquarters.

Yeah, I would be careful when dealing with the SCPA, as they tend to show up in white jackets and dark sunglasses...

Oh, never mind, you might be safe being that you are pretty far from South Carolina. No worries then...
