Small update. Since I was laid off this past Thursday, work on the car has picked up a little. The heat exchanger is mounted. Sorry for the bad angle. We were fixing an a/c line while the exchanger was being mounted and I couldn't get a good head on shot of the work. But, I can tell you it was fairly easy. I did have to cut the bumper beam a little. I wasn't too comfortable with that, but I couldn't find any other way to mount the exchanger where it needed to go. Then, two holes were drilled, and the bumper cover was trimmed. I saved some of the larger pieces so I could plasiweld them back in (this was after we cut things out to make room for adjustment, and saw that we didn't need to take that much out).









When I have a chance to get a better pic (with better lighting), I'll post that up.

Next item to install is the pump and reservoir tank. Tank should be made by now. Still need two things: battery tie-down (for the tank), and the 3/4" hose. I'm going to use standard radiator hose which can be purchased at Lowes/Home Depot for fairly cheap. Then, I get to fill the system and do a leak test before taking it out for a drive.
