I finally got around to it. My core support was about to buckle and send my radiator into the fan, so it was time. Still needs some finishing touches, but getting there.

Wow that's awesome. Very nice work. I would think you have added a good bit of safety also.

Awesome. Bookmarking this one so I have a better idea how we do the front clip on the Flathead EB project.

Very nice. What do you have in mind for the battery location or has it already been relocated?

Soooooo..... Rob, when do you want to deliver one to my place? I have been thinking of taking the family for trip to the coast, so either way! I love it, and wish I would have done something like it, thank goodness I at least made my front removable (unbolt), but damn that sure would help make room under the hood!!

Right now, I'm considering losing the factory heater and mounting the battery in the top of the fire wall like others have done. Any better ideas? Pics?

Not here at work. I can look for some pix at home later. If I find them I'll PM you rather than clutter up crab's thread.

Thanks for those battery pics. That's the one I was going to copy and reminds me to order one of those battery boxes. They're only like $25 on ebay....
