Here ya go, Luke
The radiator is out in this pic but the support frame is in. This is a '55
1st series with a 235 engine.

Here's a shot of my tank (purchased from the Filling Station). It's mounted
on the firewall and it is about 2" in diameter and 18" long. Work's great.
The coolant is always at the top when I take the radiator cap off (no air in
the system). I have about a 50/50 mix of coolant and the engine temp guage
rarely climbs more than a third of the way up the guage range. It probably
does not run hot enough.

I didnt intend on it being so wide but I did plan on changing its height as
I havnt welded a top on it yet. Right now all I have is a cleened frame
with a rebuilt engine on it but yesterday I put the radiator on and used
vice grips to hold the fender well on the passenger side so I could have a
mach up my engine compartment with this I was able to find a pretty good
spot to mount it on the passengerside fender close to the radiator but my
problem is that I dont have everything hooked up so I dont know if anything
will hit it (lower radiator hose or radiator braces) So if anyone could get
a picture of looking straight down their engine compartment passenger side
right at the radiator so i could get a better idea, that would be greatly
appreciated.
thanks
