Its awesome! I love it. It runs hot at low speeds, I'm not sure if the fans not doing enough or if there still a little air that wont come out. Might even see about another thermostat. Only other problem is I the IAC is acting up I think because it doesn't idle very well, which is no huge deal. But otherwise its great all around

Put an electric fan on it. Free up some HP's and will be able to cool much better at low speeds.

That's the plan if it doesn't get much better. Ill probably just toggle switch it so I can run it while its off. But still I need to sit down and attempt to bleed it better

Well got a game plan for it. Gotta start getting some metal gathered up. Pictures will come once I start redoing everything in a few weeks.

A decent amount of suspension work/adjustments. Along with body/frame work. I don't want to say all the details since its not 100% set in stone. But she's making some changes.
