The tank/bottle up front is for the Accusump (engine oil pressure). If you dont know what that is, it holds 3 qts of the engines oil under whatever pressure the engine is running at, and if the motor loses pressure for a second it will dump all of its oil back into the oil passage way

The car has been pretty much finished for some time now, but here are some recent pictures. You will notice that the garage looks a little on the small side...... but the new addition to the garage is almost done too.......

I just came on myself..... :
and where on god's green earth did you get something to convert your radiator outlet to a big *** AN fitting???? that is BIG PIMPIN....
Mine is an LT1 but it will look pretty similar to this once in the engine bay (with the exception of the motor plate) I really like how you did the radiator standing straight up by cutting the center framerail out.... how does it mount at the bottom???? i can't really see it too well...

care to share the dimensions of that radiator or the part # for it??? Reason is that eventually i want to do something like that where i get rid of the 45 degree angle radiator and use a straight up radiator to give me more room in the engine bay. and i planned on cutting the upper cross brace and then weld round tube in it's place.... either way those pics are awesome... they give a good idea of the work involved. I really need to buy a tubing bender and learn how to mig weld....
