    Restoring 1970's California T-bucket with Tube Frame

    Yup, it actually goes down the road better than my '32! There are long triangle cut stiffners under each rail that are welded to the frame. It drives real nice!

    The manual fan on and off switch is located next to the temp gauge with a blue power on light located above it.

    I usually load all my photos from an offsite album but at your suggestion, I uploaded off of PhotoBucket. I have been putting this at the begining.... The first img comes out black and the last turns out blue

    Restoring 1970's California T-bucket with Tube Frame

    Here is where I ended up installing the fan relay. The relay will turn the fan on with a temp of 185 automatically or it can be turned on manually from the cockpit. I also installed a blue power light when the switch is in the on position. Here is the on and off switch with the blue power...

    I just put a new chrome pan on the motor but I was considering using a cooler like the one you pictured. That does look like a real nice combo. I think I will start looking at the power steering coolers and see If I can find one that look right. If not, I will go with the one in your...

    Restoring 1970's California T-bucket with Tube Frame

    The fan wiring turned out real clean. I ended up cutting and shortning some wires and lengthening others but it looks real nice coming off the relay. I will get some pictures of that part. The fan will turn on with a thermostadt or I can manually turn it on with a switch that I still have to...

    I didn't get much done this week but the motor is back in and the radiator is back on with the new electric fan installed.

    Restoring 1970's California T-bucket with Tube Frame

    Wow! Lot of info there. I have a turbo 400 with an external ballanced turbo 400 flex plate that has two different torque convertor patterns. One for the larger torque convertor bolt pattern but it will also fit the smaller pattern. I don't believe the other flex plate was for a turbo 350...

    Hey Mike, I am leaving Florida on the 29th of Sept on a long trip and will not be back until around Nov 6th. I am missing Street Rod Nationals this year for the first time in a long while. Sorry I won't be around to visit with you Guys. There are some hotels right around the Fair Grounds...

    I kept the convertor and changed the flex plate. Going out in the morning to put in a long day on the car.

    Restoring 1970's California T-bucket with Tube Frame

    The convertor doesn't fit the flex plate, now I have another excuse to do nothing for a few days! I am assuming that they gave me a 350 convertor. Does anyone know if there is a difference in the flex plate convertor bolt pattern between the 400 and the 350? Like I said in the beginning, I am...

    Restoring 1970's California T-bucket with Tube Frame

    Thanks Hack, It is going to look the same as the pictures but with a completely rebuilt motor and a new higher stall convertor. The new motor is sitting next to the car along with the hoist. The convertor comes in Friday so I guess I am running out of excuses to not get back into the shop!
